Conversion of GNU LD script to ARMLINK scatter file

Note: This was originally posted on 26th August 2010 at http://forums.arm.com

Hey all,

As part of my exercise to migrate code from Codesourcery to RVCT 4.0, I need to convert a codesourcery compatible ld script to armlink compatible scatter file. Can someone guide me through it or any tutorial on the topic would be very helpful.

Thanks and Regards

Hey all,

I started conversion of my LD script to an armlink scatter file. But I am really not able to specify my symbols (which were present in the LD script; _etext for example). Another thing I wanted to know is how do we specify the output sections in the scatter file. I noticed that we can specify the output regions but there is no mention of output sections. If it is not needed, then which output regions should I place my .text , .data and .bss sections? The last query is that do scatter files have an equivalen symbol to "." ie the location counter found in LD scripts.

Hi ,
You need to quickly sort out the difference in syntaxes between both. Well its pretty easy.
I don't think any script is available for the same.
