Thank you so much for the advice.

The ARMulator was another target I tried, when I was using the ADS for
windows. The same error occured before the end of the LOad command. I
didn't have the chance to see any assemblies.

The document of my version of ADS says it's default acceptable format is
elf. Could you tell me what version of ADS that you are using, and which
format it accepts? Is it axf?

Is there any other way to load to ARM board, in additional to ADS?

Thanks again.
