S32DS FORCEFILES and FORCEACTIVE

[yanronglu]

How can I achieve the same functionality as CW FORCEFILES in S32DS.

CW lcf file example:

/* This will ensure the rchw and reset vector are not stripped by the linker */
FORCEACTIVE { "bam_rchw" "bam_resetvector" }
FORCEFILES {main.o}

Hi, 

I'm not familiar with code warrior linker script. It looks like that on GNU linker you can use just KEEP for particular section: 

.rchw :
{
KEEP(*(.rchw))
} > flash_rchw

.cpu0_reset_vector :
{
KEEP(*(.cpu0_reset_vector))
} > cpu0_reset_vec

You can find more details in GNU linker documentation https://www.eecs.umich.edu/courses/eecs373/readings/Linker.pdf
