Question on 2181 Linker regarding Legacy

Started by Unknown September 13, 2001

Hi,
I am working on a code which used the 6.1 version of 2181
ADSP. There the equivalent of ldf file was named a sys file.

I have the following situation :
Suppose I have a .module(.section in latest version) which
is assigned to PM RAM. But code inside the .module has a variable
declared which is for the data memory(.var/dm). What does the linker
do ? Does it place this variable in the data memory or the program
memory ? If it is place in the data memory than does it go to the
location just next to the previouly filled data memory location or
the linker assign some other location in the data memory for this
variable?

I request somebody from this group to answer the Questions.

Sriram,
The variable defined as .var/dm goes to dm memory even
if it is defined in a .module.
By default also .var goes to dm memory.

Generally, linker places just next to the previouly
defined variable.
