Re: good source for linker scripts

Hi.

Do you have a good source that describes the linking process for
microprocessors and especially linker scripts in detail? What I found
on the web it looks like an arcane art and most of the time the vendor
supplied scripts work, but in my case it doesn't.

Thanks a lot, Knopf.

Linking has some general principals, but every linker scripting language I have ever run into has been proprietary to the linker in question, and very poorly documented. I've always had to survive on a combination of starting from a vendor-supplied script, scratching around for what information I could, and lots of experimentation. In the end it's an arcane art, but in the beginning it's some poor SOB scratching around trying to make things work.
