### `ld` and MSP430

For the MSP430 it is possible to select the MPU architecture. The flag `-m [mpu type]` will select an appropriate linker script for selected MPU type. (To get a list of known MPUs just pass `-m help` option to the linker).

The linker will recognize some extra sections which are MSP430 specific:

`.vectors`
  Defines a portion of ROM where interrupt vectors located.
`.bootloader`
  Defines the bootloader portion of the ROM (if applicable). Any code in this section will be uploaded to the MPU.
`.infomem`
  Defines an information memory section (if applicable). Any code in this section will be uploaded to the MPU.
`.infomemnobits`
  This is the same as the `.infomem` section except that any code in this section will not be uploaded to the MPU.
`.noinit`
  Denotes a portion of RAM located above `.bss` section.

  The last two sections are used by gcc.
