Blackfin Processor Loader Guide
Loader operations depend on the loader options, which control how the
loader processes executable files, letting you select features such as boot
mode, boot kernel, and output file format. These options are specified on
the loader's command line or via the Load page of the Project Options
dialog box in the VisualDSP++ environment. The Load page consists of
multiple panes and is the same for all Blackfin processors. When you open
the Load page, the default loader settings for the selected processor are
already set.
!
Option settings on the Load page correspond to switches displayed
on the command line.
These sections describe how to produce a bootable or non-bootable loader
