21.4 Default Linker Script

The command line always requires a linker script. Linker script files are no longer bundled with the compiler but located in Device Family Packs (DSPs.) For more on DSPs, see 2.2 Device Support via Device Family Packs (DFPs).

The device-specific linker script file contains information such as:

  • Memory region definitions
  • Program, data and debug sections mapping
  • Interrupt interrupt vector table map
  • SFR address equates
  • Base addresses for various peripherals
