request enhancement for __SEG_END_ feature

rlw — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 06:22:14 GMT

In the SEGMENTS section of the PRM file, named address ranges are defined for use in the PLACEMENT section. While it makes sense for __SEG_END_ to reflect used range for the sections/segments defined in the PLACEMENT section, it would be more useful if __SEG_END_ reflected the defined range for segments defined in the SEGMENTS section.

Example:

SEGMENTS

RAM = READ_WRITE 0xFD000'G TO 0xFFDFF'G;

STACK = NO_INIT 0x3E00 TO 0x3FF;

ROM_LOW = READ_ONLY 0x7F4000 to 0x7F6BFF;

ROM_EOL = NO_INIT 0x7F6C00 TO 0x7F6FFF;

ROM_CAL = NO_INIT 0x7F7000 TO 0x7F7FFF;

ROM_MID = READ_ONLY 0x7F8000 TO 0x7FBFFF;

ROM_HI = READ_ONLY 0x7FC000 TO 0x7FFEFF;

VECTORS = READ_ONLY 0x7FFF10 to 0x7FFFFF;

END

PLACEMENT

DEFAULT_RAM INTO RAM;

SSTACK INTO STACK;

DEFAULT_ROM INTO ROM_LOW, ROM_MID, ROM_HI;

INTVECT INTO VECTORS;

END

It would be useful for the address of __SEG_END_ROM_EOL to be 0x7F7000.

Hello

Please refer to following thread for instruction on how to request enhancement in the tool chain.

https://community.freescale.com/thread/77166

The way SEG_END is implemented today was useful to a lot of customers. So I would not suggest to change the way it works, but rather add a new command or functionality to the linker.
