Mismatch between generated S19 file and XMAP file?

PederOlav — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 16:31:27 GMT

My S19 file shows data in address (ROM) where the XMAP file tells me there should not be any data...

What am I missing?

I have some code for MCF52235 and compiled/linked in CW 6.3.

This code I place from address 0x0001 C000 (se linker file).

Max. internal flash (ROM) is 0x0003 FFFF (256K)

The linker generates an error if i use length 0x00024000 for ROM, so I just use 0x26000 for testing.

From lcf file

# NB! Should have been LENGTH = 0x00024000
rom (RX) : ORIGIN = 0x0001C000, LENGTH = 0x00026000

I do program this code anyway and it seems to run fine...

From the XMAP file the ROM ends at 0003E190:

>0003E190 ___DATA_ROM (linker command file)

But in the S19 data continues to about 00040B58

Please can anyone explain to me what is happening here?

What is this data in S19 that goes beoynd the XMAP last ROM address 0003E190?

Thanks

PS! I have atteched lcf, s19 and xmap files (the xmap and lcf files are just renamed to txt due some restrictions at this forum)

Hello

The sections size displayed in the .XMAP file represents the actual section size from output section .text.

In your .lcf file you have the line

.data_bss : AT(___DATA_ROM)
which tells the linker to store initialization value for the output section .data at address __DATA_ROM (i.e. after the section .text).

This is why your .srecord file contains data after the address 0003E190.

It might also be a good idea to splitup .data_bss in the lcf to 2 sections, one for initialized data and one for uninitialized data.

When not using the AT for the .bss part, there would be no ROM memory allocated for the 0 initialized data. See the lcf's in the CW samples.

Thanks :smileyhappy:

I will look more into how the link file works.
