Subject: Suppress "Start Linear Address Record" in ihex file
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2009 22:14:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <h718mk$8q5$1@ger.gmane.org> (raw)
Our legacy loader for an embedded system chokes on record type 5, Start
Linear Address Record, in intel hex files. But by default objcopy emits
one of these records (2nd line from the end based on the address of
.text). I found two ways to not produce these records but my usage seems
undocumented and I don't want to do something that might break with
future bug fixes. Here's the ways I have found to suppress the type 5
hex record from the ihex file:
1. In objcopy, use "--set-start=" with it set to no value. (Possibly
setting to zero would also work.)
2. In link control file set "start=0;" (An address outside the defines
space.)
3. I have also used sed to remove the one-line record.
Is this the correct way to suppress the "Start Linear Address" record
from the ihex file?
Thanks,
