Hello All,

I got the following by running "objdump -h u-boot" , I have no idea what has to be done with this .

Regarding the linker script what exaclty should i look for, more details would be helful.

Anyway i have added the LD command from the compilation windows.

|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| ld -Bstatic -T /home/rashetty/u-boot-1.0.0/board/sc520_cdp/u-boot.lds -Ttext 0x387c0000 $UNDEF_SYM cpu/i386/start.o cpu/i386/start16.o cpu/i386/reset.o \ --start-group board/sc520_cdp/libsc520_cdp.a cpu/i386/libi386.a lib_i386/libi386.a fs/jffs2/libjffs2.a fs/fdos/libfdos.a fs/fat/libfat.a net/libnet.a disk/libdisk.a rtc/librtc.a dtt/libdtt.a drivers/libdrivers.a drivers/sk98lin/libsk98lin.a post/libpost.a post/cpu/libcpu.a common/libcommon.a lib_generic/libgeneric.a -L /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2 -lgcc --end-group \ -Map u-boot.map -o u-boot |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

I am doing this for first time. More detailed information would be more helpful for newbie like me.

This is really confusing since we get the raw binary by running the "objcopy" tool on the ELF format file u-boot.

This can happen easily if there are (huge) gaps in your image's address map. Run "objdump -h" to check this.

Any help on this shall be really helpful

Check your linker script and compare against the memory map needed for your hardware.

Best regards,
