About "Additional Load File" of "SEGGER Embedded Studio"

[takashina hiroki]

I have a question about "SEGGER Embedded Studio for ARM V4.12".

I specify a hex file in "Project Options"-> "Debug"-> "Loader"-> "Additional Load File [1]".
With this setting, the above HEX file could be loaded when downloading.
Is it possible to specify the address range to load at this time?
(For example, 0x26000 to 0x30000)
Please tell me if there is a way.

A Hex file contains address information already - you would need to rebuild the file if you wanted to load it at a different address.

Thank you for answering.

I don't want to load to different address, I want to specify a range of addresses to load.
For example, assume that the HEX file contains address information from 0x26000 to 0x7FFFF.
In this case, can I load only the addresses from 0x26000 to 0x30000?

Again, the address is within the Hex file;  to change that address, you have to rebuild the application - ie, create a new Hex file.

You can set in the project option -> common -> linker -> Section Placement Macros
