Table 6-3. TigerSHARC Loader Command-Line Switches (Cont’d)
Switch Description
-l userkernele Directs the loader utility to use the specified userkernel and to
ignore the default boot kernel for the boot-loading routine in the
output boot-loadable file.
Note: The boot kernel file selected with this switch must correspond
to the boot type selected with the -b switch).
If -l does not appear on the command line, the loader utility
searches for a default boot kernel file in the installation directory (see
“TigerSHARC Processor Boot Kernels” on page 6-4).
-nokernel Supports internal boot mode. The -nokernel switch directs the
loader utility not to include the boot kernel code into the loader
(.ldr) file.
-o filename Directs the loader utility to use the specified filename as the name
of the loader output file. If the filename is absent, the default name
is the name of the input file with an .ldr extension.
-p # Specifies the EPROM start address (hex format) for the boot-loadable
file. If the -p switch does not appear on the command line, the
loader utility starts the EPROM file at address 0x0 in the EPROM;
this EPROM address corresponds to address 0x4000000 in a Tiger-
SHARC processor.
-proc processor Specifies the target processor. The processor can be one of the following:
ADSP-TS101, ADSP-TS201, ADSP-TS202, or ADSP-TS203.
-t # Sets the number of timeout cycles (#) as a maximum number of
cycles the processor spends initializing external memory. Valid values
range from 3 to 32765 cycles; 32765 is the default value. The timeout
value is directly related to the number of cycles the processor
locks the bus for boot-loading, instructing the processor to lock the
bus for no more than 2x timeout number of cycles. When working
with a fast host that cannot tolerate being locked out of the bus, use a
relatively small timeout value.
-v Outputs verbose loader messages and status information as the loader
utility processes files.
