Using MCU Eclipse IDE

To link a binary file using MCU eclipse IDE, perform the following steps:

1. Launch MCU eclipse IDE and open the desired project to add the binary file.
2. Update linker command file (.lcf) and place .BINARY section into memory. Listing 13.24 shows a sample linker command file with .BINARY section.
3. Add a binary file (.bin) as an input file for linker (MWLDARM.exe)

For adding binary file, go to the project settings, Tool Settings > ARM Linker > General then add the binary file in the option Other Flags .
