ELF image for U-Boot
Hi everyone,
I managed to get U-Boot compiled for a LPD7A400, thanks to the patches that I got out of the list serve. Once compiled I got u-boot.bin, u-boot and u-boot.srec. I also got u-boot.map and System.map
I read around a bit and it seems to me that u-boot is the elf image for u-boot. When I load it on as an elf, our board does not want to accept it. I was just wondering if I have to combine System.map in anyway with the binary images to make a proper elf image?
Any leads are welcome. Thanks
Devraj

Thoie "board does not want to accept it"? This is wrong. The board is just hardware, and it does not want anything. I guess you mean that there is already another boot loader installed and running, and that this boot loader does not load the U-Boot ELF file? If this assumption is correct, than I am not surprised. U-Boot cannot be loaded dynamically. You must install it in flash memory, overwriting the existing boot loader.
Best regards,
