Hi

I need some hint how to put 'hello.exe' sample on the evaluation board
EVB7045F. Looking into the sources seems that the SH2 BSP development
was done on this particular board. But when I download the file to the
board and nothing happens.

Here are steps I have done:

1. build tools for target sh-rtemself on Linux (RH 7.0) (success)
2. build RTEMS 4.5.0-beta3a with no POSIX, no C++, no networking etc.
(success)
3. modified init.c of 'helo' sample so it should turn off green LED on
the EVB (I know that console is not ready for this BSP) (success)
4. the FLASH memory of the processor is programmed with 'gdbstubs'
(http://sourceforge.net) - I am able to debug some simple selfmade
programs with it. (success)
5. loaded the compiled sample into the EVB (success)
6. runnung the sample (failure)

Here is modified init.c:
---------------------------------
/*  Init

 *  It is called from init_exec and has the responsibility for creating
 *  and starting the tasks that make up the test.  If the time of day
 *  clock is required for the test, it should also be set to a known
 *  value by this function.

 *  Input parameters:  NONE

rtems_task Init(

    )
{
    writew(PFC_PEIOR,0xFFFF);
    
    printf( "\n\n*** HELLO WORLD TEST ***\n" );
    printf( "Hello World\n" );
    printf( "*** END OF HELLO WORLD TEST ***\n" );
    exit( 0 );
}
---------------------------------

and here is my gdb session:

-----------------------------------------

I can see here two strange things:
1. The debugger couldn't find debug symbols
2. There are some sections loaded at address 0x0 which is unaccesible on
this EVB (RAM starts from 0x400000). The sections overlap each other.


What should I do?
