An image of this type consists of a single load region in the load view and three execution regions in the execution view. The execution regions are placed contiguously in the memory map.

--ro-base address specifies the load and execution address of the region containing the RO output section. Example 5.10 shows the scatter-loading description equivalent to using --ro-base 0x040000.

LR_1 0x040000     ; Define the load region name as LR_1, the	 region starts at 0x040000.
{
    ER_RO +0      ; First execution region is called ER_RO, region starts at end of previous region.
                  ; However, since there was no previous region, the address is 0x040000.
    {
        * (+RO)   ; All RO sections go into this region, they are placed consecutively.
    }
    ER_RW +0      ; Second execution region is called ER_RW, the region starts at the end of the 
                  ; previous region	. The address is 0x040000 + size of ER_RO region.
    {
        * (+RW)   ; All RW sections go into this region, they are placed consecutively.
    }
    ER_ZI +0      ; Last execution region is called ER_ZI, the region starts at	 the end of the 
                  ; previous region at 0x040000 + the size of the ER_RO regions + the size of 
                  ; the ER_RW regions.
    {
        * (+ZI)   ; All ZI sections are placed consecutively here.
    }
}

The description shown in Example 5.10 creates an image with one load region called LR_1, whose load address is 0x040000.

The image has three execution regions, named ER_RO, ER_RW, and ER_ZI, that contain the RO, RW, and ZI output sections respectively. RO, RW are root regions. ZI is created dynamically at runtime. The execution address of ER_RO is 0x040000. All three execution regions are placed contiguously in the memory map by using the +offset form of the base designator for the execution region description. This enables an execution region to be placed immediately following the end of the preceding execution region.

The --reloc option is used to make relocatable images. Used on its own, --reloc makes an image similar to simple type 1, but the single load region has the RELOC attribute.

LR_1 0x010000 PI        ; The first load region is at 0x010000. 
{
    ER_RO +0            ; The PI attribute is inherited from parent.
                        ; The default execution address is 0x010000, but the code can be moved.
    {
        * (+RO)         ; All the RO sections go here.
    }
    ER_RW +0 ABSOLUTE   ; PI attribute is overridden by ABSOLUTE.
    {
        * (+RW)         ; The RW sections are placed next	. They cannot be moved.
    }
    ER_ZI +0            ; ER_ZI region placed after ER_RW region.
    {
        * (+ZI)         ; All the ZI sections are placed consecutively here.
    }
}
