Link Type



Specifies the entry point and memory regions that the software toolset linker includes in the Executable and Linkable Format File (.elf) it generates. You can specify the entry point and memory regions in the following ways:

Simple

Specifies that the linker includes the following entry point and memory regions when generating the ELF File:

Entry symbol name/address Specifies that the ELF File contains an entry point at the address you type in the Entry symbol name/address box.
Read-only base address Specifies that the ELF File contains a read-only memory region at the address you type in the Read-only base address box.
Read/write base address Specifies that the ELF File contains a read/write memory region and initial value of zero memory region at the address you type in the Read/write base address box. If you turn on this option but do not type an address in the Read/write base address box, the linker uses the next available address after the read-only section. You can specify only one address for both the read/write memory region and the initial value of zero memory region.

Custom Specifies that the linker uses a script file that specifies an entry point and memory regions when generating the ELF File. You can type a script file in the Custom link script list or select a script file using Browse(...)

If you select Custom build in the Software toolset list or Library File (.a) in the Output file format list in the CPU page of the Settings dialog box (Assignments menu), this option is dimmed to indicate that it is not available.
