#### 8.30.1 Options

The TMS320C54x version of `as` has a few machine-dependent options.

You can use the -mfar-mode option to enable extended addressing mode. All addresses will be assumed to be > 16 bits, and the appropriate relocation types will be used. This option is equivalent to using the .far_mode directive in the assembly code. If you do not use the -mfar-mode option, all references will be assumed to be 16 bits. This option may be abbreviated to -mf.

You can use the -mcpu option to specify a particular CPU. This option is equivalent to using the .version directive in the assembly code. For recognized CPU codes, see See `.version` . The default CPU version is 542.

You can use the -merrors-to-file option to redirect error output to a file (this provided for those deficient environments which don't provide adequate output redirection). This option may be abbreviated to -me.
