TigerSHARC Command-Line Switches
Loader for TigerSHARC Processors
A summary of the loader command-line switches appears in Table 6-3.
Table 6-3. TigerSHARC Loader Command-Line Switches
Switch Description
-bprom
-bhost
-blink
-fhex
-fASCII
-fbinary
-fs1
-fs2
-fs3
-h
or
-help
Prepares a boot-loadable file for the specified boot mode. Valid boot
types include PROM, host, and link port. If the -b switch does not
appear on the command line, the default setting is -bprom. To use a
custom kernel, the boot type selected with the -b switch must correspond
to the boot kernel selected with the -l switch.
Prepares a boot-loadable file in the specified format. Available format
selections are: hex (Intel hex-32), s1, s2, s3 (Motorola S-records),
include, ASCII, and binary. Valid formats depend on the -b switch
boot type selection.
For a PROM boot type, use a hex, s1, s2, s3, include,
binary, or ASCII format.
For host or link port booting, use ASCII or binary formats.
If the -f switch does not appear on the command line, the default
boot type format is hex for PROM, and ASCII for host or link.
Invokes the command-line help, outputs a list of command-line
switches to standard output, and exits. By default, the -h switch
alone provides help for the loader driver. To obtain a help screen for
the target TigerSHARC processor, add the -proc switch to the command
line. For example, type elfloader-proc ADSP-TS101 -h to
obtain help for the ADSP-TS101S processor.
-id#exe=filename Directs the loader utility to use the processor ID number for the corresponding
executable file when producing a boot-loadable file for a
EPROM- or host-boot multiprocessor system.
Use this switch only to produce a boot-loadable file that boots multiple
processors from a single EPROM. Valid # are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
and 7.
Warning: Do not use this switch for single-processor systems. For
single-processor systems, use the executable file name as a parameter
without a switch.
