10.8. Using Linker-Generated Copy Tables

The linker supports extensions to the linker command file syntax that enable the following:

• Make it easier for you to copy objects from load-space to run-space at boot time

• Make it easier for you to manage memory overlays at run time

• Allow you to split GROUPs and output sections that have separate load and run addresses

For an introduction to copy tables and their use, see About Linker-Generated Copy Tables.
