This isn't strictly a cross-compiler question, although I imagine most cross-compiler users have wanted to do this at one time. I've got a block of data, in S-record format (for those who care, it's the configuration data for an FPGA). I'd like to link it with an executable that runs on the target, so that the whole thing gets downloaded at once. In the past, we've done this by converting the data file into a header file with a big array definition. Looking at the man pages for objcopy, I can almost see how to do this, but not quite. Translating to elf is easy enough, but what section should it go in? Is there a way to specify the starting address of the block symbolically (and relocatably), so that the code just references it as an extern char array? Does this make any sense? -- John A.
