This section gives an overview of the PIC/PID function and describes how to create startup programs when using the PIC/PID function.

The PIC/PID function enables the code and data in the ROM to be reallocated to desired addresses without re-linkage even when the allocation addresses have been determined through previously completed linkage.

PIC stands for position independent code, and PID stands for position independent data. The PIC function generates PIC and the PID function generates PID; here, these functions are collectively called the PIC/PID function.
