  • .icf file, is it specific to IAR or general JLink?

    Hi,

    I'm using IAR with JLink. In the IDE, there is a file called .icf file. I'm not sure if this is the file created by IAR itself or JLink requires this file?

    A further question, when downloading with JLink in IAR, who is responsible to decide the destination address, IAR or JLink? if it's JLink, how?

    :?:

    The icf file is the linker configuration file which is needed by the IAR linker, when linking the application.
    For more information about this, please refer to IAR C/C++ Development Guide (the pdf comes with IAR EWARM), chapter "Using the build tools" --> "Linking using ILINK" --> "Placing code and data—the linker configuration file"

    This answers also question 2:
    Of course it is debugger's responsibility to download the code to the correct address.
