Re: [ros-dev] Unable to use FreeLDR

It seems there are some severe technical limitations to a PE FreeLoader. Unless there are good reasons for it to remain a PE file (and I don't think easier debugging is a good reason), I would like to see the PE changes to FreeLoader reverted. -Original Message- From: ros-dev-boun...@react
