Every project needs a single linker script added to it. This script is a text file that contains information on the memory
architecture of the particular processor you are using. You add a linker script just like we added the files above, see
Figure 15.39. However, we need to change the “Files of type” filter to “Linker Scripts”. The DEFAULT linker scripts
are installed in the PIC24 C compiler directory. However if we want to take advantage of the bootloaders that are installed
we need to use a special linker scripts that instructs the linker to leave a section of memory untouched. This way when the
programmer goes to load the firmware it does not overwrite the bootloader section. We lose a small section of memory
but for most programs it won’t make a difference.
Figure 15.40 – All files added to the project.
When you have completed adding the source, header, assembly, and linker script files to the project, your Project File
Tree should resemble Figure 15.40. Now that the files are prepared we will build the project.
