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.
John Levine's book on Linkers and Loaders is the only in-depth study I'm
aware of, but it's more concentrated on 'big system' linking and loading
than on small embedded devices -- the principles mostly hold, though a
lot of the details are different.

It has worried me for the best part of two decades that linking and
loading aren't really taught on degree courses - it cuts across compilers,
comp. arch. (background to different memory spaces, "near", "far" and
"segmented" spaces etc), and embedded systems, yet it's something we
always find new/recent graduates are weak on.
