Subject: nios-elf-objcopy S-record length
Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2005 05:41:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2C52593826C4D611A69F00508B60303F0281CF31@aego_exch1.sigp.net> (raw)

I am currently working with a GNU tool chain obtained from Altera for 
the NIOS processor.  Here is the version information obtained from a 
'nios-elf-objcopy -V' command:
<start>
GNU objcopy 2.9-nios-010801-20030722

I am currently having a problem of objcopy making S-Records with 21 data 
bytes in them and am looking for a solution (21 bytes will be *very* 
inconvenient when I go to use these to FLASH a 16-bit device).  On a 
redirect from someone, I have been browsing the archives of this mailing 
list and found an apparent patch for objcopy that would fix my problem.  
Here are the references to the messages I found:

http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2000-09/msg00321.html
http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2000-03/msg00346.html
http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2000-03/msg00416.html
http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2000-03/msg00427.html

Can someone please tell me if/how I can apply this patch to my version 
of objcopy so that I may get 16-byte S-Records generated and ease my 
life considerably?  Or is there just a switch I need to activate that is 
not documented in 'nios-elf-objcopy -h' that I can use already?

Thanks,

Dan
