Hi Kristi,

Edmar and I have added some functionality to the elf.sc default linker script file to generate the .texv (text vle code), aligned on a 64K boundary. Do you forsee any problems with us committing this code to the default elf linker script:
.texv ALIGN(0x10000) ${RELOCATING-0} :
{
  *(.texv ${RELOCATING+ .texv.*})
} =${NOP-0}

Why not simply add this section to the OTHER_READONLY_SECTIONS variable for your particular target ? ie why make a change to a generic file like elf.sc when you can keep the modifications to a target specific file ?

Cheers
  Nick
