3.3 DEVELOPMENT CHAIN SUMMARY
The development chain discussed above can be understood more clearly using a diagram.
The diagram below shows the various files involved in the development process as cylinders;
the translators used to change one file type into another are shown as rectangles.

Compiling, assembling and
linking instructions can be
written in a
make utility file

development tools chain,
this file which contains
the memory map of the
project, can be a source
file instead of a parameter
file for the linker
