19 .Nd convert Alpha ELF executable to AlphaBIOS / ARCS format
26 creates an executable that can be loaded by the AlphaBIOS or ARCS consoles
27 as found on systems designed for
29 The input file must have been
30 created as a non-relocatable standalone binary with a load address within
31 the memory range available for user programs (0x80000000 to 0x806fdfff
32 and 0x80900000 to at least 0x80ffffff).
34 The command prints a list of sections found in the ELF executable and the
35 section sizes and offsets of the output file for diagnostic purposes.
39 the following two commands will create a binary for ARCS:
40 .Bd -literal -offset indent
41 ld -o a.out -M -N -Ttext 0x80900000 src.o
46 does not even attempt to verify that the input file matches the requirements
47 for an ARC executable.
