Working out the syntax for the PowerPC memory specification file |
If you installed the SDS PowerPC material in the default directory you will find resource material available on how to specify the memory locations where the data and program code go
I used the SDS file panel.lnk file as an indication of what the DIAB linker expects in the manner of a memory specification file. This is the PowerPC simulator equivalent of the 68K specification (".spc") file.
My final file is ppc.lnk which I achieved using some trial-and-error techniques. I used as a working basis that I needed to generate the rough equivalent of the 68K specification file. Print both "panel.lnk" and "ppc.lnk" out to see the file differences.
Unfortunately, the syntax for the DIAB DATA PowerPC memory specification file ppc.lnk is not formatted in the clear syntax present in the SDS 68K specification file absmap.spc.
