[U-Boot-Users] Differences between u-boot and u-boot.bin
Hello,
Could someone explain me the difference between the u-boot elf binary and u-boot.bin files both generated when I build u-boot ?
I which context/condition should I use one or the other ?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Yann

u-boot: elf file, includes both machine code and symbol tables (function names, etc) u-boot.bin: raw machine code in binary image. u-boot.srec: raw machine code in srecord format.
I which context/condition should I use one or the other ?
u-boot: Use with symbolic debugger (gdb) u-boot.bin: flash verbatim into ROM u-boot.srec: flash into ROM using srec loader

OK; thank you for the answer. So, if I understand correctly, the 2 files are almost the same but u-boot adds extra features such as being able to be debugged with GDB ? What could explain that on my board (a one close to the edb9312) u-boot works and u-boot.bin does nothing ?

You probably used a way to install it that didn't work with a raw binary image.
