TASKING VX-toolset for ARM User Guide

Tool OptionsLinker option: --output (-o)Menu entry1. Select Linker » Output Format.2. Enable one or more output formats.For some output formats you can specify a number of suboptions.Eclipse always uses the project name as the basename for the output file.Command line syntax--output=[filename][:format[:addr_size][,space_name]]...-o[filename][:format[:addr_size]]...You can specify the following formats:ELFIHEXSRECELF/DWARFIntel HexMotorola S-recordsDescriptionBy default, the linker generates an output file in ELF/DWARF format, with the name task1.abs.With this option you can specify an alternative filename, and an alternative output format. The defaultoutput format is the format of the first input file.You can use the --output option multiple times. This is useful to generate multiple output formats. Withthe first occurrence of the --output option you specify the basename (the filename without extension),which is used for subsequent --output options with no filename specified. If you do not specify a filename,or you do not specify the --output option at all, the linker uses the default basename taskn.IHEX and SREC formatsIf you specify the Intel Hex format or the Motorola S-records format, you can use the argument addr_sizeto specify the size of addresses in bytes (record length). For Intel Hex you can use the values: 1, 2, and4 (default). For Motorola S-records you can specify: 2 (S1 records), 3 (S2 records, default) or 4 bytes (S3records).The name of the output file will be filename with the extension .hex or .sre and contains the code anddata allocated in the default address space. If they exist, any other address spaces are also emittedwhereas their output files are named filename_spacename with the extension .hex or .sre.Use option --chip-output (-c) to create Intel Hex or Motorola S-record output files for each chip definedin the LSL file (suitable for loading into a PROM-programmer).577
