TITLE: ARM Cortex M4 Blink Example (Makefile)
AUTHOR: Chuck McManis
LAST UPDATE: 25-May-2014

Description

This is the makefile for the blink example. The important things are that CFLAGS are set to -mcpu=cortex-m4 and -mthumb which tell the C compiler you are compiling for the Cortex M4.

The linker flags, -T blink.ld and -Map blink.map tell the linker to use the ldscript blink.ld and to generate a map file of the final output.
