IDATA Linker Directive

ID

IDATA (〚base〛 〚segment 〚(address)〛 〚, ...〛〛)

None.

Options — BL51 Locate — Idata Base.
Options — BL51 Locate — Idata Segments.

The IDATA directive specifies:

• The base address for relocatable IDATA segments.
• The order of relocatable IDATA segments in memory.
• The absolute memory location of individual IDATA segments.

This directive is specified as follows:

IDATA (〚base, ...〛 〚segment 〚(address)〛 〚, ...〛〛)

Where

Note

• The BL51 Linker allows you to use wildcards when locating program segments. For example, ?PR?*?MYFILE may be used to represent all program segments from the MYFILE source file.

BIT, CODE, DATA, PDATA, PRECEDE, RAMSIZE, STACK, XDATA

The example below specifies that relocatable IDATA segments be located at or after address 64 decimal (40 hex) in the IDATA memory.

BL51 MYPROG.OBJ IDATA(64)

or

BL51 MYPROG.OBJ IDATA(0x40)

To specify the order for segments, you must include the names of the segments separated by commas. The following example places the ?ID?A, ?ID?B, and ?ID?C segments at the beginning of the IDATA memory:

BL51 A.OBJ,B.OBJ,C.OBJ IDATA(?ID?A,?ID?B,?ID?C)

You may also specify the memory location. This example places the ?ID?A and ?ID?B segments at 30h and 40h in the on-chip IDATA memory:

BL51 MYPROG.OBJ,A.OBJ,B.OBJ IDATA(?ID?A(30h),?ID?B(40h))
