Description

Stuff like "the rom end of segment boot can't be greater than 0x101000", which would emit something like this:

ASSERT ((boot_ROM_END <= 0x101000), "Error: boot_ROM_END is larger than 1 MB");

Not sure how the syntax on the input file would look like

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points and leaves the input-file syntax undecided. Start by locating the generator entry point and existing options, then determine how an input assertion should become an ASSERT in the generated linker script; done means the syntax and emitted error behavior are specified and covered by tests.
