Hi,
I just received a xscale iq80310 board and have few trivial questions
regarding this board. I am booting the board up with the default redboot
image in the flash:
1. Seems to be able to load only redboot.srec type image. for ELF image with
load command fails??? say, ELF images not supported??? Does that mean I have
to have ELF image burned in flash to load an ELF image?
2. If I compile a hello world program and with xscale-elf-gcc -g hello.c, it
would produce elf file. Does that mean I have to create srec file with
xscale-elf-objcopy command to run it? but when I run it with xscale-elf-gdb
-nw hello_srec.exe, it does not recognize the srec format. What I am missing
here.
3. Why is that on redboot command prompt, when I type `$` it hangs the
board?
thanks
