Re: [ECOS] making and running tests

["Greg Holdren" <greghol at sbcglobal dot net>]

I've noticed the same thing when doing builds for the straight EB40.
Large ~1MB output files are generated that appears to be elf
files but gdb dosn't like them. I have to convert to binary only and
strip all the debug/source out of them with objcopy. I used redboot
to xfer them to 0x02020000 to run which they do just fine.

arm-elf-objcopy -O binary tm_basic.exe tm_basic.bin

I use both Windows and Linux to develop. If someone knows
how to make file that gdb like please let me know.
