Linker Development Flow
Figure 7–1 illustrates the linker’s role in the assembly language development
process. The linker accepts several types of files as input, including object
files, command files, libraries, and partially linked files. The linker creates an
executable COFF object module that can be downloaded to one of several
development tools or executed by a TMS320C54x device.
