In previous release of RVDK (1.0), the only sections that had to be root were __main and the region tables. However with RVDK2.1, in the implementation of RW data compression there are more files that must be placed in a root region. ''armlink'' can detect these sections automatically.
You can find below a typical example done on STR710 :
For STR710 with RVDK1.0 :
------------------------------------------------------------------------
FLASH_LOAD 0x40000000; load region starts at 0x40000000
{
FLASH_EXE 0x40000000
{
init.o (Init,+First)
__main.o (*)
* (Region$$Table)
* (ZISection$$Table)
}
RAM_EXE 0x20000000
{
vect.o (Vect,+First)
* (RO,+RW,+ZI)
}
}
For STR710 with RVDK2.1 ( Easier !!)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
FLASH_LOAD 0x40000000; load region starts at 0x40000000
{
FLASH_EXE 0x40000000
{
init.o (Init,+First)
* (InRoot$$Sections)
}
RAM_EXE 0x20000000
{
vect.o (Vect,+First)
* (RO,+RW,+ZI)
}
}
Thanks ST & ARM for this improvement !
