BL51 User's Guide

Absolute Object File

The object module generated by the BL51 Linker is an absolute object module. All relocatable sections are assigned and located at fixed addresses.

The object module includes information required for initializing global variables, zero-initializing global variables, program code and constants, as well as symbolic information, line number information, and other debugging details.

The object module may be used by the OH51 Object-HEX Converter to create an Intel HEX file for programming into ROM. It may be loaded directly into an emulator or the Keil µVision Simulator/Debugger for testing and debugging.

Note

  • By default, the object file generated by the linker has no file extension.
