Linker (Stage 2) -- Generating the executable file for Task 1 |
We are now ready to use the linker to turn the object file e1v3.o into the executable file e1v3.out that can be used in the simulator or downloaded into an actual 68K evaluation board.
Before proceeding make sure that you have
The command for the linking operation is
linker -V 68020 -f absmap.spc -o e1v3.out e1v3.o
The format of the linking command is essentially the same
throughout the LABORATORY COMPANION exercises.
Issue this command from the DOS command line.
if exists %1.out erase %1.out
linker -V 68020 -f absmap.spc -o %1.out %1.o
We are now, finally, ready to download the executable file into the simulator and run the code. However the simulator has a number of surprizes in store for us.
For more information on using the linker see the equivalent "Full Companion" page.
