RE: load ELF image to ARM board


Thanks for the help and comments.

I was using Multl-ICE on the JTAG port as the Debugging Interface. However,
same problem occured when I tried the ARMulator. It seems to be related
with the debugger itself, or maybe the build was not correct.

I will try Angel to see what will happen.

I was using "arm-unknown-elf" as target, gcc-2.95.2, binutils-2.10.1, and
newlib-1.9.0. Could you help me to verify that whether this set-up right
for ARM7TDMI Board? Are there any board specific things that need
attention, like some Board Support Package?

Thanks again.
