STM32 Compilation ELF Padding

[Itamare]

Hi,

I am working on VisualGDB with MSBuild.

I am looking for a solution to add gap padding to the ELF outputs at the size of the entire MCU flash.

Where can I add this command under the VisualGDB interface?

Thanks.

Hi,

VisualGDB uses the GNU Linker to link the built executables. You can pass additional flags to the linker via project properties (exact location depends on the project type). That said, we are not aware of any linker setting that would pad the ELF file up to the size of the MCU FLASH. You might be able to get it working with some tweaks to the linker script, but it’s not something that VisualGDB can do out-of-the-box.
