Loading and Splitting
VisualDSP++ includes boot kernel files (
used when you run the loader. You can also customize boot kernel source
files (included with VisualDSP++) by modifying and rebuilding them.
Figure 1-5 shows how multiple input files—in this case, two executable
( ) files, a shared memory (
.DXE
consumed by the loader to create a single image file (
illustrate the generation of a loader file for a multiprocessor architecture.

This example has two executables that share memory. Overlays are also
included. The resulting output is a compilation of all the inputs.
