Obviously nothing I can do to help you with the conversion, but if you do a
"v850-elf-objdump -h" of the ELF executable you will see that although the
VMA of some of the sections is at 0xfc0000, the LMA (load address) should
still be in ROM (or FLASH) addrs. The only exception is BSS, and you never
load that - it won't be marked with the LOAD flag.

Do you mean, how much to contract Red Hat to do the board port for you? If
so, mail ecos-info@redhat.com giving some outline details about your board
and your requirements and someone will be able to talk to you.

Otherwise if you are talking about the effort for yourself, I don't know
off-hand - not _that_ much effort per se, but it's just checking you've
found all the relevant code, and then testing it. It would be the testing
that would be the main component of the work if Red Hat were doing the port
for you for example.
