https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/86739/segger-linker-symbol-locationI&#39;m a relative novice to linker files, just enough to be dangerous, but I have a need to understand what the Segger linker is doing. I have some success using `flash_placement.xml` to get buffers into their own AHB controllers, but when I try to jostleen-USTelligent Community 13Fri, 08 Apr 2022 12:00:29 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/362581?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 08 Apr 2022 12:00:29 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:46ca202f-8a6a-4a91-a239-84ea75d0d5d0Einar Thorsrud<p>Hi,</p> <p>I see you refer to &quot;__bss_start__&quot; for instance, which is not used by the Segger linker but by GCC. That said, the best way to learn about the Segger linker is probably the <a href="https://studio.segger.com/segger/UM20005_Linker.pdf">SEGGER Linker User Guide &amp; Reference Manual</a>.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/362439?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 07 Apr 2022 17:17:11 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:5afb287e-15de-4db0-a35b-383279c281a8austin944<p>I&#39;ve never used the SES toolchain, but the Gnu toolchain has utilities such as &#39;objdump&#39; and &#39;nm&#39; which can dump out the symbol information from the compiled executable.&nbsp; You can also produce a listing file with objdump.&nbsp; The Gnu linker can add symbols that you mention using a linker script (the *.ld files in the nRF SDK).&nbsp; Perhaps the SES toolchain has some similar utilities?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
