+<concept id="GUID-D729BD58-D4FE-5D46-ACD4-F78B37BA833A" xml:lang="en"><title>GNU
+Assembler Source Format</title><shortdesc>Describes the rules that you must follow if you use GNU assembler
+syntax.</shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
+<p>The platform-specific source code can be written in GNU assembler
+syntax or ARM assembler syntax.</p>
+<p>The generic source and header files are all written using the ARM assembler
+syntax, as are the source files for the template and example ports. However
+the bootstrap can be built using the GNU assembler; in this case, source files
+are translated from ARM to GNU assembler syntax automatically. </p>
+<p>The rules that you must follow to use GNU assembler syntax in the platform-specific
+source are: </p>
+<ul>
+<li id="GUID-4D2E66B7-D3DE-5877-817B-316E16612AAC"><p>The first non-blank
+line of any GNU-syntax source or header file should start with an @ (the GNU
+comment delimiter); this acts as a directive to the translation tool that
+no translation is required. </p> </li>
+<li id="GUID-BDEE2BA7-5FD4-5BC0-B945-8E598388019C"><p>Files included from
+GNU source should be included with a <filepath>.ginc</filepath> extension
+instead of the normal <filepath>.inc</filepath> extension. However the file
+itself should have a <filepath>.inc</filepath> extension. </p> </li>
+</ul>
+<p>To enable the generic makefile to work correctly, assembler source files
+should always be given the extension <filepath>.s</filepath> and assembler
+include files <filepath>.inc</filepath>; this is independent of whether these
+are ARM or GNU syntax. </p>
