For convenience, when I create raw data I convert it to a source file
consisting of:

char MyRawData[] ={ 0x12, 0x34, ..... }

and then compile it into an object file. This way, I can reference
MyRawData from within by program without having to figure out what
address to load it to using DLOAD, and I upload one file instead of 20.

While this works well for small files, large files are having trouble
linking. Is there a maximum size for object files?

Cheers,


J
