I successfully compiled the elf2flt utility under Linux.

Now I am having a problem using the elf2flt utility. I have the same problem under my Cygwin environment under Windows.

If I use nios2-elf-gcc to compile a simple program (e.g. nios2-elf-gcc hello.c -o hello) and try to use the elf2flt utility to convert the format to flat, it gives me the following error:

hello: Input file contains no relocation info

The hello file is the executable that was created directly from the nios2-elf-gcc compiler.

If I try to run the hello file directly on my uKit Nios II development board, then I get the format errors described a couple replies back.

WHAT AM I MISSING HERE?
