Re: ELF, Program Header, convert virtual addresses to physical addresses

Hi,

i use this conversion in a perl script that sets converts
an ELF file into a memory image and downloads it into a
micro.  This script also does some specific changes to
an ELF file.

So isn't that a bug?  How can other tools like objcopy
then convert such an ELF file?

Isn't there a rule how to convert virtual addresses to
physical addresses?
