title: What are .axf files?
body: <p>I am new to arm architecture, I work on embedded software and was trying to learn about the .axf file which is present in my project binary's debug folder.</p>
  
  <p>Discovered that it is an arm executable format file generated by linker while the build process and it is used in debugging the crashes. So it is obvious that it contains some debugging information but its not clear what kind of information that is? And also there exists one .map file in the debug folder, so what could be the difference between these two files?</p>
