Re: redboot - winCE

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

In general, you can't just load an image to any memory location. Your CE
image is built to run at a particular address, and must be loaded there. In
addition, that CE image probably comes from a CE BSP which also contained a
bootloader. The OS image is probably expecting to have been booted by that
loader, not Redboot. There may be other dependencies between the two. It
is possible for Redboot to load an OS image directly, but the BSP must have
been written with that in mind.

Hi ,
Redboot load command supports raw binary data as

"Files to be downloaded may either be executable images in ELF executable
program format, Motorola S record (SREC) format or raw data." (from redboot
manuel)

-- Could we change winCE image to ELF format?

I have checked the free memory space and loaded the image to this memory
region.
memory map is like that
---------------

RAM: 0x00000000-0x08000000, 0x0002d590-0x07fd1000 available
FLASH: 0xf0000000 - 0xf0800000, 64 blocks of 0x00020000 bytes each.
