The memory.x file is used when you use the m68hc11elfb linker script.
It defines memory banks that tell the linker where to put the
text, data and other program sections. The name of memory banks are
specified within the linker script. A typical memory.x file
defines the MEMORY banks as follows:
MEMORY
{
page0 (rwx) : ORIGIN = 0x0, LENGTH = 256
text (rx) : ORIGIN = 0xE000, LENGTH = 2048
data : ORIGIN = 0x0, LENGTH = 0
}
This definition creates 3 memory banks:
- page0 represents a the HC11/HC12 region for direct addressing
mode. This memory bank must always be completely included
in the [0..0x0ff] interval.
- text represents the memory bank where the linker will put
the .text sections which contains the code. In most cases
it represents the ROM of the board (but it can also represent RAM).
- data represents the memory bank used to put the initialized
and non-initialized data. This bank usually represents RAM.
