File Format Questions

[Aditya]

Dear Joel
Thank You...

This is what I have done...changed the objcopy line as follows in
i386ex.cfg



define make-exe
	$(LINK.c) $(AM_CFLAGS) $(AM_LDFLAGS) -o $(basename $@).coff \
	    $(LINK_OBJS) $(LINK_LIBS)
	$(OBJCOPY) -O srec $(basename $@).coff $(basename $@).i
<--------- srec in this line
	sed -e 's/.$$//' -e '/^S0/d' $(basename $@).i | \
	          $(PACKHEX) > $(basename $@).exe
	$(NM) -g -n $(basename $@).coff > $(basename $@).num
	$(SIZE) $(basename $@).coff
endef

define make-exe
	$(LINK.c) $(AM_CFLAGS) $(AM_LDFLAGS) -o $(basename $@).coff \
	    $(LINK_OBJS) $(LINK_LIBS)
	$(OBJCOPY) -O ihex $(basename $@).coff $(basename $@).i
<--------- changed to ihex in this line
	sed -e 's/.$$//' -e '/^S0/d' $(basename $@).i | \
	          $(PACKHEX) > $(basename $@).exe
	$(NM) -g -n $(basename $@).coff > $(basename $@).num
	$(SIZE) $(basename $@).coff
Endef




Is This OK? Or anything else to do...

Regards
ADITYA.

The .exe format is whatever the board has to use to get an image
downloaded to it.  This may be Srecords, coff, elf, a.out, Intel
Hex, etc.  Looking at the file make/custom/i386ex.cfg, you are
right it is S records.

Change the make-exe rule in make/custom/i386ex.cfg.
