I am having trouble loading the image section of the elf file
(contains the gzip compressed Linux kernel) with the VxWorks boot
ROM or the EST VisionICE on the EST SBC8260 board. Both of these
options appear to ignore this section.
This problem was discussed on the linuxppc-embedded mailing list
on 11/2[2-3]/99. A few approaches were put forth, but not all the
details were included. Does someone have a recipe on how to solve
this problem?
CPU: EST Corp. est8260 -- MPC8260 PowerQUICC II SBC
Version: 5.4
BSP version: 1.2/3
I have managed to use ".gzimage" instead of "image" as the
section name and have changed the section flags, but I don't
think this is enough.
