Honored Contributorelf loader for NIOS-II
I STFA but didn’t find what I was looking for.
We have an application where we’re considering interpreting ELF executables from flash at boot-time and so would like to put an ELF interpreter into our Nios-II. I’m wondering if Altera (or anyone else) has source for a Nios-II implementation for such a thing or if we’ll have to roll our own, say from libelf. Thanks.2 Replies
Altera_ForumIt sounds like the features you're looking for are supplied as a part of the Redboot boot monitor. This is available for download as a part of the eCos operating system from this forum.
Redboot includes an elf loader and a flash management utility. For a complete list of Redboot features, see: http://sources.redhat.com/redboot/ (http://sources.redhat.com/redboot/)- Altera_Forum
tcw,
You could also try u-boot with the "bootelf" command enabled. Regards, --Scott
