Link two obj files to bin

In last days I'm playing with bootloaders and assembly language. I have compiled to files into .obj file format. Now I need to link them. Does anybody know with which linker it's possible or can anybody place here link to page with sample? Please help.

Solution

  • Use 'ld' from GNU toolchain.

    Here's a page with all the required linker scripts to properly place the kernel.

    First-stage bootloader is a "flat" binary with opcodes. For x86 BIOS-based boot all you have to do is to place the code at 0x7C00 (you know that, I'm sure).
