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