The RealView Linker does not accept scatter-loading description files for
sophisticated memory layouts;

The RealView Linker restricts the base address for code/constants to 0xXX000000,
0xXX800000, or 0x00080000 where XX is 00, 01, ..., FF. This allows memory start
addresses like 0x00000000 and 0x12800000;
•
It is not possible to generate position independent code or data;
•
The RealView C/C++ Compiler does not generate a listing file;

limited or restricted in any way.
