Blackfin Processor Loader Guide
Loader utility operations depend on the options, which control how the
utility processes executable files. You select features such as boot modes,
boot kernels, and output file formats via the options. The options are
specified on the loader utility’s command line or via the Load page of the
Project Options dialog box in the VisualDSP++ environment. The Load
page consists of multiple panes. When you open the Load page, the
default loader settings for the selected processor are set already.
� Option
settings on the Load page correspond to switches displayed
on the command line.
