File Searches<br />

<strong>Loader</strong> for ADSP-21161 SHARC Processors<br />

File searches are important in loader processing. The loader utility supports<br />

relative <strong>and</strong> absolute directory names, default directories, <strong>and</strong><br />

user-selected directories for file search paths. File searches occur as<br />

described on page 1-16.<br />

File Extensions<br />

Some loader switches take a file name as an optional parameter. Table 4-9<br />

lists the expected file types, names, <strong>and</strong> extensions.<br />

Table 4-9. File Extensions<br />

Extension File Description<br />

.dxe Executable files <strong>and</strong> boot kernel files. The loader utility recognizes overlay memory<br />

files (.ovl) <strong>and</strong> shared memory files (.sm) but does not expect these files on the<br />

comm<strong>and</strong> line. Place .ovl <strong>and</strong> .sm files in the same directory as the .dxe file that<br />

refers to them so the loader utility can find them when processing the .ldr file. The<br />

.ovl <strong>and</strong> .sm files can also be placed in the .ovl <strong>and</strong> .sm file output directory specified<br />

in the .ldf file.<br />

.ldr <strong>Loader</strong> output file<br />
