  • [SOLVED] Segger linker script

    Hello,

    I have the following statements in flash_placement.xml for in project Nordic nRF52833:

    <MemorySegment name="FLASH" start="$(FLASH_PH_START)" size="$(FLASH_PH_SIZE)">
    <ProgramSection alignment="4" keep="Yes" load="Yes" name=".nrf_queue" inputsections="*(.nrf_queue*)" address_symbol="__start_nrf_queue" end_symbol="__stop_nrf_queue" />
    <ProgramSection alignment="4" keep="Yes" load="No" name=".nrf_sections" address_symbol="__start_nrf_sections" />
    </MemorySegment>

    <MemorySegment name="RAM" start="$(RAM_PH_START)" size="$(RAM_PH_SIZE)">
    <ProgramSection alignment="0x100" load="No" name=".vectors_ram" start="$(RAM_START)" address_symbol="__app_ram_start__"/>
    <ProgramSection alignment="4" keep="Yes" load="No" name=".nrf_sections_run" address_symbol="__start_nrf_sections_run" />
    <ProgramSection alignment="4" keep="Yes" load="No" name=".log_dynamic_data_run" address_symbol="__start_log_dynamic_data" end_symbol="__stop_log_dynamic_data" />
    </MemorySegment>

    My project uses Segger linker script. What are the equivalent expressions for Segger Linker Script? I have found Segger linker user guide but didn't find exactly the equivalent for these expressions.

    Generally, is there any tool that converts flash_placement.xml to an equivalent Segger linker script (.icf) file?

    Thank you very much for your help,

    Sam

  • Hello Sam,

    Thank you for your inquiry.
    There is no conversion tool for the different script types available.
    For reference we recommend to create a new nrF52 project using CPU support package: segger.com/products/developmen…o/technology/cpu-support/

    This will create a simple hello world example with a memory map and a SEGGER Linker script that can be used for reference.

    For more information see the linker documentation:
    studio.segger.com/segger/UM20005_Linker.pdf

    Best regards,
    Nino
