can we append a binary file at the end of output file

can we append a binary file at the end of output file

[loody]

Hi all:
I want linker to append a  binary file at the end of output.
Should I use section command?
if so, what the format should I use?
I try below formula but it complain:
mydata.bin: file not recognized: File format not recognized

.mydata 0xbfc10000:
  {
    mydata.bin
  }

Assemble a file containing .incbin, and link that at the end.

It works :-)
I have one question.
Since I use a dummy assembly to include the binary file, the as still
try to generate the text, data and all othere sections of the object
file.

That means I have to use exclude_file in my link script for every
section command to keep the binary that I included intact and make it
whole appended at the fix place of my program.

is there smarter way to do so, such as write exclude_file once some
where in the link script instead of writing it in every section
command?

appreciate your help,
