I'm writing a loader program that will take a hex file and load it into RAM. I have successfully loaded simple programs that do not have any global data, but I'm limited in what I can do. I can generate a hex file with the global data, but I'm afraid I don't understand what to do from here. I've written a simple linker script to put .data and .bss right after .text, and I'm trying to just load it all into memory and jump to my start symbol, but the global data does not get correctly loaded in the application, and I don't know why.
I'm not clear on the dissassembly, and what it's telling me, so I can't really tell why it isn't working. I'm working with a MKL26Z64VFT4, and the application I'm developing is being run by a simple OS I'm developing, so the app does not contain any setup code. The dissassembly is below. If anyone could provide me with some way to get started in understanding what is going wrong, that would be great. The global data is shown at address 60, and it is correctly there (20001780 is the correct constant value).
