Loader for TigerSHARC Processors
Table 6-3. TigerSHARC Loader Command-Line Switches (Cont’d)
Switch Description
-version Directs the loader utility to display its version information. Type
elfloader -version to display the version of the loader drive. Add
the -proc switch, such as in elfloader -proc ADSP-TS201
-version to display version information for the loader drive and
TigerSHARC loader utility.
-si-revision
#|none|any
The -si-revision {#|none|any} switch provides a silicon revision
of the specified processor.
The switch parameter represents a silicon revision of the processor
specified by the -proc processor switch. The parameter takes one
of three forms:
The none value indicates that the VisualDSP++ ignores silicon
errata.
The # value indicates one or more decimal digits, followed
by a point, followed by one or two decimal digits. Examples
of revisions are: 0.0; 1.12; 23.1. Revision 0.1 is distinct
from and “lower” than revision 0.10. The digits to the left
of the point specify the chip tapeout number; the digits to
the right of the point identify the metal mask revision number.
The number to the right of the point cannot exceed
decimal 255.
The any value indicates that VisualDSP++ produces an output
file that can be run at any silicon revision.
The switch generates either a warning about any potential anomalous
conditions or an error if any anomalous conditions occur.
In the absence of the silicon revision switch, the loader utility selects
the greatest �silicon revision it is aware of, if any.
In the absence of the switch parameter (a valid revision
value)—-si-revision alone or with an invalid
value—the loader utility generates an error.
