ecos on OMAP710 using CCS

[Batra Rajat-r7aadp]

Hi, 

I am trying to load redboot into RAM on my OMAP710 based board. I have succesfully created a redboot.elf using ecos2.0 and the innovator for arm9 config file. When I try to load redboot onto the board using CCS version 2.2 using File/load program and selecting my redboot.elf file, I get an error stating that the application has terminated because of possible stack overflow, or writing into the wrong place.  In fact CCS shuts down. Am I even close to following the right steps?  If so, what might be the problem?

Thank you, 

Rajat

This isn't really the right forum. You'll get a better chance of good 
responses to future queries in the ecos-discuss list.

As for your problem, it looks like CCS is having a problem with the image, 
rather than the image being necessarily invalid. See if CCS can load 
another format like SREC or just raw binary to the correct address.

If you're not sure if your binary has been built for the correct address 
for the memory map of your board, you could verify by using 
"arm-elf-objdump -h redboot.elf".

One possible thing certainly is to verify you have built RedBoot for RAM 
startup type.
