I don't actually use ADS, I couldnt be bothered to install it. I still
have
the old debugger from SDT 2.1, and it does load elf files, although not
perfectly. It often has problems to find the entry point of the image,
and more importantly debugging symbols don't work (although gcc pretends
to produce DWARF2 and the debugger pretends to be able to read them...
that doesn't work) so you'll have to strip the executable for it to load
in the ARMulator.

> Is there any other way to load to ARM board, in additional to ADS?

Half a dozen :-)
The problem is that it is usually very very dependent on the platform.
There is a program from Intel to program the flash using JTAG on
their SA1110 dev board (Assabet). I don't really know for other
platforms, sorry.
