Linker script question? where is the fixed_vectors section?ARM


Hi all:
   In a rom startup linker script I saw these and I can't figure this
out.(ARM target)

MEMORY
{
    ram : ORIGIN = 0, LENGTH = 0x8000000
    rom : ORIGIN = 0x40000000, LENGTH = 0x100000
}

SECTIONS
{
    SECTIONS_BEGIN
    SECTION_rom_vectors (rom, 0x40000000, LMA_EQ_VMA)
    SECTION_text (rom, ALIGN (0x4), LMA_EQ_VMA)
    SECTION_fini (rom, ALIGN (0x4), LMA_EQ_VMA)
    SECTION_rodata (rom, ALIGN (0x4), LMA_EQ_VMA)
    SECTION_rodata1 (rom, ALIGN (0x4), LMA_EQ_VMA)
    SECTION_fixup (rom, ALIGN (0x4), LMA_EQ_VMA)
    SECTION_gcc_except_table (rom, ALIGN (0x4), LMA_EQ_VMA)
    SECTION_fixed_vectors (ram, 0x20, LMA_EQ_VMA)
    SECTION_data (ram, 0x8000, FOLLOWING (.gcc_except_table))
    SECTION_bss (ram, ALIGN (0x4), LMA_EQ_VMA)
    CYG_LABEL_DEFN(__heap1) = ALIGN (0x8);
    SECTIONS_END
}

if the flash is originally located at 0x0000H, then if I create a S-record
file and want to download it to the rom, where will be the section:
fixed_vectors stored? because it is defined as:     SECTION_fixed_vectors
(ram, 0x20, LMA_EQ_VMA),  according to LMA_EQ_VMA it should be stored at the
same address as the VMA as here in the ram, how is this interpreted in the
S-record file (file for downloading into the flash memory)? Thanks a lot.

BTW the order of the sections in the flash memory after the S-record file
downloaded is:
0x0000H    1. rom_vectors
continue.   2. text
cont.           3. fini
cont.           4. rodata
cont.           5. rodata1
cont.           6. fixup
cont.           7. gcc_exception_table
cont.           8. data

Is the correct? if so where is the fixed_vectors section stored in
flash(rom).

Thanks a lot
