- [Main]
- Title=Flash OS Linking Mode
- [Top]
- This mode creates an unsigned Flash operating system upgrade for the TI-89,
- TI-89 Titanium, TI-92+ and Voyage 200 calculators. It can be turned on using
- the <B>'--flash-os'</B> <A HREF="$$LINK(invocation_ld)">command-line
- option</A> or the <A HREF="$$LINK(control_flash_os)">_flash_os</A> control
- symbol. It currently supports only the raw TIB output format, which is enabled
- by the <B>'--outputbin'</B> <A HREF="$$LINK(invocation_ld)">option</A>. Support
- for the current 89u/9xu/v2u format is planned and will be the default. It
- creates a <A HREF="$$LINK(global_imports)">global import</A> asking for the
- appropriate Flash OS header (see
- <A HREF="$$LINK(global_imports_auto)">Automatically Created Global Imports</A>
- for more information). Since Flash operating systems are composed of 2
- discontiguous parts, a small (24 KB) startup segment and a large (1944 KB for
- 2 MB FlashROMs, 3992 KB for 4 MB FlashROMs) main segment,
- <A HREF="$$LINK(startup)">startup sections</A> are handled in a special way
- in this mode: Startup sections are placed into the startup segment, all other
- sections are merged into the main segment.
- <BR><BR>
- <B>Note:</B> Flash OS support must be compiled in for this mode to be
- available.
