The linker scripts in particular were largely redone; the common functionality was abstracted out (common_ram.inc and common_rom.inc in support/ld/), and only particularities for individual boards are left in the individual scripts. </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=763#post-4537 Mon, 09 May 2011 16:07:52 +0000 kqr2 4537@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>I noticed that the bootloader and the libmaple library use different linker scripts. The bootloader is based off of the Raisonance Ride 7 whereas libmaple is based off of CodeSourcery.</p> <p>The bootloader linker script seems simpler and more readable to me. Is there an advantage to the CodeSourcery based one?</p> <p><a href="https://github.com/leaflabs/maple-bootloader/blob/master/stm32_lib/c_only_md_RAM.ld" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/leaflabs/maple-bootloader/blob/master/stm32_lib/c_only_md_RAM.ld</a><br /> <a href="https://github.com/leaflabs/libmaple/blob/master/support/ld/maple/flash.ld" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/leaflabs/libmaple/blob/master/support/ld/maple/flash.ld</a></p> <p>EDIT : It appears that the libmaple code on github was refactored while I posted this message.
