Embedded arm-elf-gcc

[jbousch]

Hi everybody,

I'm currently working in a company, as embedded developper, which use gnu
tools. I have a good experience about non gnu compiler tools and i need
help because the most disavantage of gcc compiler is the almost unexistant
support for developper.

I work on an embedded software for an ARM7TDMI target processor (Phillips
LPC 2214) and i have to locate the software in the target. So here comes
the link command file (arm.ln) with wich i am supposed to set the memory
map. The thing is that i can't find any tutorial about link comand file so
i don't know how to write it manually.

If anybody knows something about link comand file or any book or web site
reference i would apreciate it a lot.

Thanks in advance

Please send questions only to gcc-help@gcc.gnu.org, not also to
gcc@gnu.org.  Thanks.

First let me say that there are several companies which sell support
for developers using the GNU tools.  If you want support, it is
available.

The link command file is described in the linker manual.  The linker
is not part of gcc; it is part of the GNU binutils.  Here is the
online version of the documentation for version 2.17:

Really?! My experience is quite opposite.

You must be paying the wrong people for support.  :-)  Find new  
people to pay.

I'd try the LD manual.

Also, there is a search tool called google at google.com that is able  
to find all sort of things.  For example, you could type "linker  
documentation", and it would have answered your question in about  
140ms, which should be more than 50% faster than the speed at which  
we can answer your questions.

Also, this is the wrong list, gcc-help is for help using gcc.
