Processor ID Numbers
Loader for ADSP-21161 SHARC Processors
A single-processor system requires only one input (.dxe) file without any
prefix and suffix to the input file name, for example:
elfloader -proc ADSP-21161 -bprom Input.dxe
A multiprocessor system requires a distinct processor ID number for each
input file on the command line. A processor ID is provided via the
-id#exe=filename.dxe switch, where # is 1 to 6.
In the following example, the loader utility processes the input file
Input1.dxe for the processor with an ID of 1 and the input file
Input2.dxe for the processor with an ID of 2.
elfloader -proc ADSP-21161 -bprom -id1exe=Input1.dxe
-id2exe=Input2.dxe
If the executable for the # processor is identical to the executable of the N
processor, the output loader file contains only one copy of the code from
the input file, as directed by the command-line switch -id#ref=N used in
the example:
elfloader -proc ADSP-21161 -bprom -id1exe=Input.dxe -id2ref=1
where 2 is the processor ID, and 1 is another processor ID referenced by
processor 2.
The loader utility points the id(2)exe loader jump table entry to the
id(1)exe image, effectively reducing the size of the loader file.
