Linker CMD Files for CCS

---

IMPORTANT: CCSv5.2 and newer adds all the information present on this page for all the supported devices.

---

Introduction

This page contains Linker command files to be used in Code Composer Studio projects.
These files are provided as-is without support.

Usage:

1. Download the file corresponding to your device

2. Extract the file anywhere in your system

3. Link or Add it to your project. From within CCS, right-click in your project and select either Link files or Add files

Notes:

• These files were verified to work in the development boards of the devices below. However, if your board has a different memory configuration you may need to edit the files. In this case, carefully inspect the MEMORY and SECTIONS directives.

MEMORY defines names for physical memory address regions

SECTIONS assigns each piece of code or data to a MEMORY name

• These files do not define a size for stack and heap memory, thus requiring you to specify their sizes using the linker options --stack_size and --heap_size.
• Where applicable, these files allocate all SECTIONS to Internal RAM. Depending on your application the space may be insufficient. Please modify the files accordingly to move large SECTIONS to External RAM but don't forget you will have to properly initialize it with a suitable GEL File for your board (provided by your board manufacturer).

A practical guide for everything related to Linker CMD files can be found at:

Refer to the Linker section of the Assembly Language Tools user's guide relative to your device. Links to these documents can be found at:
