XIPSCHAIN enables the creation of Chain.bin and Chain.lst.

Syntax

XIPSCHAIN

Remarks

  • Chain.bin is a small .bin file in a format understood by boot loaders that describes the location in ROM of all XIP regions.
  • Chain.lst is a text that lists all XIP regions to load. In the file, the kernel is denoted by a plus sign (+). Chain.lst can be used to load all XIP regions into ROM before jumping to the start address. The address following the equal sign (=) is the location of the chain in ROM. It should match the FIXUPVAR that points to the chain location like pdwXIPLoc.

Example

The following code example shows how to use XIPSCHAIN.

XIPSCHAIN=01FFFF00
