Linker steering file command reference

Formal syntax of the scatter file

--ropi

ARM Compiler toolchain v5.02 for µVision Linker Reference

Home > Linker command-line options > --ropi

`--ropi`

This option makes the load and execution region containing the RO output section position-independent. If this option is not used, the region is marked as absolute. Usually each read-only input section must be Read-Only Position-Independent (ROPI). If this option is selected, the linker:

checks that relocations between sections are valid
ensures that any code generated by the linker itself, such as interworking veneers, is ROPI.

Note

The linker gives a downgradable error if --ropi is used without --rwpi or --rw_base.

Restrictions

You cannot use --ropi with --scatter.
