The following sections describe the MAC7100 support in more detail.

Memory Map Files

Default memory map files have been provided in the $(StudioDir)/targets/Freescale_MAC7100 directory for each member of the MAC7100 family. These files are used to describe the memory layout of the target and is used for linking and debugging. The placement of program sections within the memory map for both RAM and FLASH configurations is described by the non-target-specific default memory maps $(StudioDir)/targets/flash_placement.xml and $(StudioDir)/targets/sram_placement.xml.

The Build > Target Processor project property specifies which of the MAC7100 family memory map files are used.

Target Startup Code

The default startup code is in $(StudioDir)/targets/Freescale_MAC7100/MAC7100_Startup.s. It contains the exception vectors and the default exception handlers for operating in normal single-chip mode.
