Re: Porting issues [please advice]


Hi Cristian,

I try to respin up openrisc alias "or32" target wich is dead since 2001

Good luck!


           1) Where can i found  good ELF layout docs to understand things
what binutils done.

A simple web search can give you this information. eg:


  www.cs.princeton.edu/courses/archive/fall05/cos217/reading/elf.pdf
or
  http://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/software/ELF.txt

2) Is somewhere a good porting guide for binutils ?

No. :-( The best advice is to use the source code as your guide, ask questions on the mailing when you get stuck, and base you work on a port that is similar to the one that you are targeting.


            3) how can i analyse whats happen during linking ? Or can I
analyse the validity or elf compliance of a elf file ?

The readelf program is pretty good at finding mistakes and problems in ELF format files. Try "readelf -a <name of file>".


Cheers
  Nick
