Boot Kernel Modification
Loader for TigerSHARC Processors
For most systems, some customization of the boot kernel is required. The
operation of other tools (notably the C/C++ compiler) is influenced by
loader usage.
For more information on boot kernel operations, refer to the comments in
the corresponding boot kernel source files and application notes EE-174:
ADSP-TS101S TigerSHARC Processor Boot Loader Kernels Operation and
EE-200: ADSP-TS20x TigerSHARC Processor Boot Loader Kernels Operation.

TigerSHARC Loader Guide
Loader operations depend on the loader options, which control how the
loader utility processes executable files. You select features such as boot
modes, boot kernels, and output file formats via the loader options. These
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.
When you open the Load page, the default loader settings for the selected
processor are already set.
� Option
settings on the Load page correspond to switches displayed
on the command line.
These sections describe how to produce a bootable file (.ldr):
