Hi Jhavk,
I have read README.standalone. My target board is smdk2440(Arm 9).
So i transfer hello_world using tftp to address 0x0c100000 and then call "go 0x0c100000 hello world"
But after that the application seems to get stuck and nothing happens. Eventually i have to reset the board.
I have some doubts:
- Which file should i send. I think it should be
hello_world and not the srec or bin format. I ran file command on all 3 and found that hello_world is the one meant for ARM.
You should use the .bin file as tftp does not interpret ELF files so you need a binary image. file cannot tell anything about binary images because there is no magic in there anymore - its a plain memory dump.
2.Is the load and start address correct? May be its different for ARM9?
This is just a theoretical answer as I don't have an ARM board ready - but judging by the makefile it looks ok. Apart from that on PPC we have to skip the first 4 bytes because of reasons explained on this list not long ago (search mailing list - I don't have a good keyword ready) - so try a "go 0x0c100004". This is also explained in the DULG.
If all these are correct then what may be the problem?
I saw at least two problems.
Cheers Detlev
