Re: How is redboot.elf booted?

redboot.elf is a library containing the code, data and debug information. It can
be booted with the gdb debugger or with an other program which understands the
.elf format. An other way is to create a rom from the .elf file which the
processor can understand, for example has the reset vector at address 0 for some
processors. This is done with the program objcopy (arm-elf-objcopy -O binary
a.elf a.bin)
