[ECOS] MPC860 eCos application

[nprasad3@gmu.edu]

Hi,

I have redboot working and i'm trying to write a simple application (just prints Hello eCos World!) but I seem to be missing something as redboot fails to load default .srec with the following message:

*** Abort! Attempt to load S-record to address: 0xfff00000, which is not in RAM

1. Built libtarget.a (Work with ROM Monitor, Startup Mode : RAM) - target.ld still has references to rom.
STARTUP(vectors.o)
ENTRY(__exception_reset)
INPUT(extras.o)
GROUP(libtarget.a libgcc.a libsupc++.a)
MEMORY
{
    ram : ORIGIN = 0x00001000, LENGTH = 0x1FFF000
    rom : ORIGIN = 0xfff00000, LENGTH = 0x800000
}

SECTIONS
{
    .vectors 0xfff00000 : { . = .; KEEP(*(.vectors)) } > rom
   .. etc (bunch of references to rom)
}

2. I modified the target.ld to change rom references to ram, [0xfff0000 -> 0x00007050] as redboot message is as [RAM: 0x00001000-0x02000000, 0x00007050-0x01fff000 available] and redboot loads the .srec file but my application does not run (*probably* its just the wrong printf i.e. target.ld is producing a copy of the printf whose state is different from the one redboot is using).

How can I make my application refer to code that's in ROM (redboot has the printf which is working) but run from RAM? 

Thanks in advance
Nirmal
