Documentation Conventions

This guide contains detailed information about the assembler, linker and object code utilities included with all XGC compilation systems. The command line examples given show the native form of the commands. For cross compilation systems, each command must be prefixed with the prefix name given in the appropriate product-specific documentation.

This guide does not contain details of the target computer instruction set or any additional assembler directives. These are documented in the relevant volumes of the target computer vendor's documentation. For additional command line options see the Getting Started guide that ships with the compilation system.

Audience

This guide is written for the experienced programmer who is already familiar with high-order programming languages and with embedded systems programming in general. Users of the assembler will require a detailed understanding of the target computer's instruction set.
