Technical information

The linker script is the src/memory.ld which includes cortex-m-generic.ld, from libopencm3.

The startup code lives in the libopencm3/lib/cm3/vector.c. It also provides a structure that provides the stack address and the handlers.

You can check the loaded objects in the src/mapfile, example:

LOAD board.o
LOAD printf.o
LOAD main.o
LOAD as5601.o
LOAD profile_trace.o
LOAD ../libopencm3/lib/libopencm3_stm32f1.a
