Re: [ECOS] Running Redboot out of RAM on iPAQ

[Craig Vanderborgh <craigv at voxware dot com>]

Hello Gary:

Thanks a lot for your reply!  This turns out to be exactly what I've
been doing and the build has been working fine.  The trouble I had
was not knowing which binary (.elf,.bin, or .srec) to run or how
to run it.  This is really a documentation problem, and this issue
is not covered in the Redboot User's Guide, or anywhere else that
I'm aware of.

Anyhow, some list-archive-mining revealed that I needed to use
the "redboot.bin" binary (from the redboot_RAM.ecm build, of course)
and load/run it as follows:

Redboot> load -m ymodem -r -b 0x20000
Redboot> go 0x20000

This procedure actually does work, but is not exactly obvious.
At least it wasn't to me...

Regards,
