Hi folks,

another stupid question of me (but hey, I'm a first-timer in programming
flash-memory):
How do I put the gdb_module.img/gdb_module.bin file into flash-memory ?
(With a flash-programmer, I know)
How do I have to process the module file(s)? I use two flash-memory
chips, one should contain the high-, the other the low-bytes. I suppose
it has to do with arm-elf-objcopy.

Thanks in advance.

Normally this is type of thing is done by the flash programmer software. If
not, it won't take long to knock up a quick C program to do it :). I don't
believe objcopy can.
