Nios 5.1, elf2flash ignores base address?

Hi JasonDiplomat,

> Have I missed something, or is there something wrong with elf2flash?

You missed something -- you're specifying a boot copier -- so your elf sections

get translated into boot records that follow the boot copier code.

This is the boot copier code at offset 0 in your flash device.

To get a better feel for what's going on, compare the outputs of the following:

$ elf2flash --input=LynxApp.elf --flash=IC2

--base=0x100000 --end=0x1FFFFF --reset=0x100000

--output=boot.flash

--boot=$SOPC_KIT_NIOS2/components/altera_nios2/boot_loader_cfi.srec

$ elf2flash --input=LynxApp.elf --flash=IC2

--base=0x100000 --end=0x1FFFFF --reset=0x100000

--output=noboot.flash
