Dear Mathieu,
In message c5ee099c0810080632v1166ce61h5ed213512760c97@mail.gmail.com you wrote:
I did :
tftp 0x80000000 /tftpboot/hello_world.bin
since the entry point is 0x0c100000
shouldnt I go from 0x80000000 + 0x0c100000? which is 0x8c100000 ?
No, of course not. The entry point is an absolute address, not an offset. This is not completely poistion-independent code, it is linked for one specific absolute address.
am I wrong in using 0x80000000 which is the start address of the SDRAM according to the board's documentation?
You are wrong when linking the application to an absolute address where you cannot execute it because it is not in RAM.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
