IAR Embedded Workbench for RISC-V 3.40

Output format considerations

In this section:

The linker produces an absolute executable image in the ELF/DWARF object file format.

You can use the IAR ELF Tool—ielftool— to convert an absolute ELF image to a format more suitable for loading directly to memory, or burning to a PROM or flash memory etc.

ielftool can produce these output formats:

  • Plain binary

  • Motorola S-records

  • Intel hex.

For a complete list of supported output formats, run ielftool without options.

Note

ielftool can also be used for other types of transformations, such as filling and calculating checksums in the absolute image.

The source code for ielftool is provided in the riscv/src directory. For more information about ielftool, see The IAR ELF Tool—ielftool.
