Hi Michael,

Thanks for your question, i'll do my best to help.

Have a look at https://developer.mbed.org/handbook/mbed-library-internals as a starting point as this explains what you need.

Let me know if you need anything more.

Regards,

Andrea, team mbed.

Thank you. However I don't think I explained my issue too well. What I need is to insert a seperate program at location zero in the flash and I want this program to reside or start at a fixed address say 0x1000. So that the bootloader can update the main code and will decide when to call the main code. I have done this on other compilers by editing the ld file. or basically the linker script.
