-## Linker script generator feature
-## -------------------------------
-##
-## This generator will generate <chipname>.ld linker script file in the project
-## directory for the specified device, and this script will be automatically
-## used as main linker script during the build process.
-##
-## WARNING: You must include this file after all shared variables are setup,
-## and before the command section begins. Ideal place of the include is exactly
-## after the all: rule in Your makefile.
-##
-## Options
-## -------
-##
-## This feature is configured by specifying variable DEVICE=<device part name>
-## in the makefile of Your project.
-##
-## WARNING Please don't forget to specify full name of the chip you are using.
-## Many chip families have device specific letters specified on the end of
-## device name string.
-##
-## Example:
-## --------
-##
-## @code
-## DEVICE=stm32f407vgt6
-## <... common makefile code ...>
-## all: images
-##
-## include <libopencm3 dir>/ld/Makefile.linker
-##
-## images: <....>
