Motorola Glossary-1
absolute executable file is an object file in which the assembler and linker have filled in,
for every symbol, its ultimate location on its target hardware (i.e., the final address in
memory of that symbol).
ADM application development module is a hardware component, a device-specific
board, a part of an application development system.
ADS application development system is a Suite56 product comprised of hardware
(host-bus interface card, interface cables, command converter, and application
developmentmodule)andsoftware(drivers,debugger,command-lineinterface,graphic
user interface) for generation and debugging of application code aimed at digital signal
processors.
assembler is a software program to translate human-readable symbols, directives,
labels, and mnemonic instructions into machine-readable data, instructions, and
locations for a particular hardware device, such as a digital signal processor.
breakpoint is a place in a software routine or hardware procedure where an interrupt
occurs.
compiler is a software program to translate human-readable programs in a given
programming language (such as C or C++) into object files to assemble and link for
execution on a particular hardware device.
cross-assembler is an assembler capable of running on one hardware device (usually a
development platform) to produce assembled files executable on a different hardware
device (such as a target digital signal processor).
cross-compiler is a compiler capable of running on one hardware device (usually a
development platform) to produce files ready to assemble and link for execution on a
different hardware device (such as a target digital signal processor).
current working directory is the location in the file system of a development platform
where the operating system and other applications (e.g., compilers, assemblers, linkers)
search for input and place output unless otherwise directed.
EVM evaluation module is a hardware component, a device-specific board, used either
as an evaluation tool or as part of an application development system.
GUI graphic user interface is a software program to display windows, menus, and
buttons and to capture keyboard- and mouse-input on a computer monitor.
halt breakpoint is one which stops program execution.
linker is asoftware program that accepts object files from a compiler,assembler, library,
or other source, along with hardware-specific directives to produce an absolute
executable file.
