Expert Linker is opening .ldf file in Read only mode

Hi,

I am using Visual DSP++ 5.1.1 to perform development activity associated with ADSP BF534. I would like to update the .ldf file as a part of project requirement.

.ldf file is opening in “Read only” mode whenever I opened it using “Expert Linker” window hence I was not able to modify the .ldf file.

 

Modification of .ldf file is very much requirement to implement the requirement. Please do the needful.

Regards,

Hareesha

  • Hi Hareesha,

    The Expert Linker is not available for Blackfin projects. Instead, users must create their LDF files either in the New Project Wizard, or by going to Project Options - Project - Add Startup Code/LDF.

    An LDF file which has been generated by the Start up Code/LDF wizard (during creation of a project, or later going to Project Options - Add Startup Code/LDF) is read only, because the changes may then be overwritten if the LDF file is regenerated, (things will be grayed out).

    Note that the LDF file will be regenerated if any of the settings are changed within Project - Project Options - Add LDF/Startup Code'.

    If you wish to make changes to your LDF then you can do so in the text version.You must, however, only add these modifications within particular sections of the file, denoted by:

    /*$VDSG<insert-user-ldf-commands> */
    /* Text inserted between these $VDSG comments will be preserved */
    /*$VDSG<insert-user-ldf-commands> */

    Any changes to the file made out with a $VDSG section will be lost when it is regenerated.

    Note that modifications to the other parts of the LDF file can be made within
    the 'Project'->'Project Options'->'Add Startup Code/LDF' section.
