If you are building RedBoot you should have a redboot.bin, if you are building an eCos application you will have .elf files for each application executable.

Then you will be in a better position to start writing your own applications. -- Nick Garnett eCos Kernel Architect http://www.ecoscentric.com The eCos and RedBoot experts -- Before posting, please read the FAQ: http://sources.redhat.com/fom/ecos and search the list archive: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/ecos-discuss
