HI Folks,

How I can load (and start) an EST Flat Bin image? My supplier gives me this image and I don't know how run it from u-boot (from git). Can someone help me?

thanks a lot.

The EST flat binary is a pure binary file with a 32-byte header. You can easily strip the header using 'dd' and then load using tftp. You just need to know where to load the binary and what the entry point is (the default load address is included in the header).

I am surprised that you get the file in this format, it is intended for programming a binary into flash using the old visionCLICK software.

Ok. In fact, using an ex editor I noticed a simil-vectors table. Do you know where I can obtain the format specification?

I too! I'll ask to my supplier to give me a more recent version of this image.

Thanks again once.

There is an application note available from Wind River.
