There was a very usefull feature in pSos that I can't find in eCos, which is the run time loader. In know that RedBoot can load images from flash to it's RAM location, but I don't want to use RedBoot, and I need to load a relocatable image, i.e. a location-independent image. Actually, my system is composed of 2 parts : - 1rst part, the "Bios", wich includes eCos and some drivers to the hardware of our card - 2nd part, the "Application", wich make use of the bios to access the hardware features. I want first to run the Bios, initialize my hardware, then load the application in RAM to be executed. But I would like to be able to load this application anywhere int the RAM, where there is some place left actually, which is not know at link time of the application. I want to keep the Application as much independent as possible of the Bios version. I'm sure somebody has already encoutered this problem, but I did not find any post about it, and I run out of keyword to get some help through Google. Thank you for your help Guilly _________________________________________________________________ Vidéoconférence plein écran avec MSN Messenger http://g.msn.fr/FR1001/866 -- Before posting, please read the FAQ: http://ecos.sourceware.org/fom/ecos and search the list archive: http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss
