Loader Output Files in Include Format
The splitter utility can output include format files (.ldr). These files permit
the inclusion of the loader file in a C program.
The word width (8-, 16-, or 32-bit) of the loader file depends on the
specified boot type. Similar to Intel hex-32 output, the loader output in
include format have some basic parts in the following order.
1. Initialization code (some Blackfin processors)
2. Boot kernel (some Blackfin, SHARC, and TigerSHARC
processors)
3. User application code
4. Saved user code in conflict with the initialization code (some
Blackfin processors)
5. Saved user code in conflict with the kernel code (some Blackfin,
SHARC, and TigerSHARC processors)
The initialization code is an optional first part for some Blackfin processors,
while the kernel code is the part for some Blackfin, SHARC, and
TigerSHARC processors. User application code is followed by the saved
user code.
Files in include format are ASCII text files that consist of 48-bit
instructions, one per line (on SHARC processors). Each instruction is presented
as three 16-bit hexadecimal numbers. For each 48-bit instruction,
the data order is lower, middle, and then upper 16 bits. Example lines
from an include format file are:
0x005c, 0x0620, 0x0620,
0x0045, 0x1103, 0x1103,
0x00c2, 0x06be, 0x06be
