Hi guys & gals, i've a couple\three questions on the arm gcc cross-compilier. i've built the gcc tool chain for arm-thumb-elf and it works well. I've been messing around with GDB and the simulator, writing simple programs to get the hang of it. I lack a great deal of knowledge in this field as i come from a background of 8052, 6800, HC11 & 68002 assemble programming (mostly 8052). My first question is, how do i relocate code in the memory map. I've tried changing the ld linker script from 0x8000 to say 0x10000 or 0x80000 but this seem to have no effect. Am i on the right track at all??? I do remember reading last week on some man/info page that the 0x8000 had something to do with the demon debugger. I can't find this info now... I'm using this mini project as a tutoiral in ARM(GCC) development to get me up to speed on the basics. Sceond question. I have a bare board. I don't need any RTOS at the moment, i with try and get ecos working later but not yet. Is elf the correct file format to start with? I plan to start writing a downloader now soon that will take data (A program) of the ARM serial port and save it to memory. By any chance is there an elf to intel hex translator available on the net? I know it's bad but old habbits die hard... ;-D Is the elf file format complicated?? Would it be as easy to download straight from it??? The final question... How stable is the GCC cross compiler when it's been run on a windows machine under cygwin? Has many people developed major projects on it. How did you find it. It looks stable to me but the longest C program i wrote so far using this configuration was 40 lines and it was all completed in one evening. What's the story if it's been used for a couple of weeks or a month or two?? Thanks in advance for all the help....
