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.

Lewin Edwards (who posts here I think) has a book "Embedded System
Design on a Showstring" with a good section on this. It is fairly
specific to the GNU toolchain, although I imagine the principles are
fairly universal.

I found it by far the most useful part of the book, since as you say
this is something that never seems to get discussed elsewhere. (And I
already knew the rest of the GNU toolchain fairly well).
