ADSP-2106x/21160 Loader Command-Line Switches
Table 3-15 is a summary of the ADSP-2106x and ADSP-21160 loader
switches.
Table 3-15. ADSP-2106x/21160 Loader Command-Line Switches
Switch Description
-bprom
-bhost
-blink
-bJTAG
Specifies the boot mode. The -b switch directs the loader utility to prepare
a boot-loadable file for the specified boot mode. Valid boot modes
include PROM, host, and link.
For ADSP-21020 processors, JTAG is the only permitted boot mode.
If -b does not appear on the command line, the default is -bprom.
To use a custom boot kernel, the boot type selected with the -b switch
must correspond to the boot kernel selected with the -l switch. Otherwise,
the loader utility automatically selects a default boot kernel based
on the selected boot type (see “ADSP-2106x/21160 Boot Kernels” on
page 3-16).
-caddress Custom option. This switch directs the loader utility to use the specified
address. Valid addresses are:
20004 and 20040 for ADSP-2106x processors
8004 and 8040 for ADSP-21065L processors
40000 and 40050 for ADSP-21160 processors
The loader utility obtains the proper address even when this switch is
absent from the command line.
-e filename Except shared memory. The -e switch omits the specified shared memory
(.sm) file from the output loader file. Use this option to omit the
shared parts of the executable file intended to boot a multiprocessor
system.
To omit multiple .sm files, repeat the switch and parameter multiple
times on the command line. For example, to omit two files, use:
-e fileA.sm -e fileB.sm.
In most cases, it is not necessary to use the -e switch: the loader utility
processes the .sm files efficiently—includes a single copy of the code
and data from each .sm file in a loader file.
