Re: RedBoot + Configuration tool 2.11 question
Hello Gary,
I looked at the dir /bootmonitor/src/packages/redboot/v1_24/src and I am
not finding
the file redboot_cksum.o. Instead, I did locate this file in the following dir
bootmonitor/src/build/redboot/v1_24/src/net and tried the command that you
mentioned
in your mail and provided the output below.
Command output:
==============
bootmonitor/src/build/redboot/v1_24/src/net
$ xscale-elf-objdump -h redboot_cksum.o
redboot_cksum.o: file format elf32-bigarm

This says that you're having trouble with the HAL tables used by
RedBoot. Using 'objdump -h' you can see the sections that these
data live in. For example:
/work/iPAQ/redboot/ROM/redboot/current/src/redboot_cksum.o: file
format elf32-littlearm

You see the '.ecos.table.RedBoot_commands.data.do_cksum' entry?
Entries like that should get gathered together and then end up
in your data section. This mechanism is defined in the include
file <cyg/hal/hal_tables.h>
Note: HAL tables are defined by an architecture (ARM). You shouldn't
have problems with them on a specific platform, unless you've done
something to mess with the linker setup.
