Re: [ECOS] load / go in RedBoot

[Robert Lee <rlee_1900 at yahoo dot com>]

Honestly, I don't know how to answer your questions.

The "hello" program has only a few lines:

#include <stdio.h>
void cyg_user_start(void)
{
  diag_printf("Hello, eCos world!\n"); 
}

The binary is created by

arm-elf-gcc -mcpu=strongarm1100                 
-nostartfiles -L/ecos/ecos/install/bin/install//lib
-Wl,--gc-sections -o hello hello.o -Ttarget.ld
-nostdlib


hello.srec is created by

arm-elf-objcopy -O srec hello hello.srec

How do I change to RAM instead of ROM?

Thank you.
