You need to learn about linkers and how they work. This is a large
topic - more than can be covered in a single email. I suggest you find
a good book on the subject. eg "Linkers and Loaders" by John Levine.

The best method is to examine the code for a similar port and use it as
a guideline for creating your own port. What sort of microcontroller is
it ? Is it similar to any other CPUs ?
