Embed multiple files into an ELF object file.
The idea is to simplify objcopy for embedding files, both on its command
line and the names of the symbols
For the command line tool, usage is as
mbed <outfile> <file1> <file1-basename> [<file2> <file2-basename> ...]
where
outfileis the output object file;fileNis the file to embed;fileN-basenameis the basename for the exported variables.
The variables exported are:
const char <fileN-basename>[]holding the pointer to the data;const unsigned int <fileN-basename>_sizeholding the size of the data.
The test folder should have an example, with a makefile. readelf -a should
allow viewing of the exposed symbols.
The current makefile also allows libraries to be build, both dynamic and static.
The interface to the library is exposed in mbed.h. It should be
self-explanatory.
The tool/library depends on libelf. Please see your system's notes on how to
install it.
