4.8 ld and MSP430

For the MSP430 it is possible to select the MPU architecture. The flag `-m [mpu type]' will select an appropriate linker script for selected MPU type. (To get a list of known MPUs just pass `-m help' option to the linker).

The linker will recognize some extra sections which are MSP430 specific:

`.vectors'

Defines a portion of ROM where interrupt vectors located.

`.bootloader'

Defines the bootloader portion of the ROM (if applicable). Any code in this section will be uploaded to the MPU.

`.infomem'

Defines an information memory section (if applicable). Any code in this section will be uploaded to the MPU.

`.infomemnobits'

This is the same as the `.infomem' section except that any code in this section will not be uploaded to the MPU.

`.noinit'

Denotes a portion of RAM located above `.bss' section.

The last two sections are used by gcc.
