RedBoot> version displays:
RedBoot(tm) ... env - built July 16 2001
Platform: IQ80310(XSCALE)
RAM: 0xa0000000-0xa2000000, 0xa0011450-0xa1fd0000
I have plenty of memory.i stopped using '-r' option.
All i want to do is:
copy boot/compressed/vmlinux image into flash and
run 'fis load vmlinux'.
Now, i am able to do that just with vmlinux, but,
'fis load vmlinux' gives me an error with file format
something like 'file not executable'. That's when i decided
to convert vmlinux to vmlinux.srec, using objcopy and try
again, whence i failed to load the file itself.
i am following what is given in Assabet 2.4.5 document on
RedBoot and loading vmlinux kernel.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks & Regards
