This chapter describes the operation of the COP8 Linker, LNCOP. LNCOP reads object modules produced by ASMCOP and combines them into an absolute object file that may be executed on the processor. This file is also suitable for use by a debugger or emulator.
The object modules may reside in a file or be obtained from a library produced by LIBCOP. See Chapter 4 for detailed information on the library.
A load map is also produced that shows how memory is allocated. Memory allocation is under complete control of the user. In addition, a symbol table or cross-reference table may be obtained.
