ADSP-218x Splitter Command-Line Reference

The splitter (

elfspl21.exe

) generates non-bootable, PROM-image files

for ADSP-218x DSPs by processing executable files (

.DXE

The splitter command line is case sensitive.

Run the splitter from the command line using the following syntax.

elfspl21

sourcefile

[

outputfile

] {-pm &| -dm} [-

switch

…]

where:

•

sourcefile

—Name of the executable file (

.DXE

) to be processed

for a non-bootable, PROM-image file. A file name can include the
drive and directory. Enclose long file names within straight-quotes,

“long file name”

•

outputfile

—Optional name of the splitter’s output, a PROM file

with the

.BNL

.BNU

, or

.BNM

file extension.

•

switch

…

—One or more optional switches to process. Switches

select operations and modes for the splitter.

•

-pm &| -dm

—Indicates that either

-pm

-dm

or both can be used.

Example

The following two command lines run the splitter twice, first producing
PROM files for program memory and then producing PROM files for
data memory.

elfspl21 my_proj.dxe pm_stuff -pm

elfspl21 my_proj.dxe dm_stuff -dm
