Firmware linker scripts

We use the following linker targets:

Target Description Typical user Restriction
compalram Used to load firmware into the RAM of the phone at boot time, using the CompalRamLoader Almost everything 64kByte
e88flash Image to be flashed directly into the start of NOR Flash of the phone loader.bin -
e88loader Image to be flashed to NOR flash (after loader) to be booted by loaderbin managed by osmoload Everything -
highram Image to be loaded into RAM by loaderbin Everything 128kByte
In terms of useful configurations, you can for example
  1. RAM-load compalram a image <= 64kByte, or
  2. RAM-load compalram image of loader.bin followed by a highram image of your application, or
  3. RAM-load compalram image of loader.bin followed by flashing a e88flash image of loader.bin to flash
  4. RAM-load compalram image of loader.bin followed by flashing a e88loader image to flash
