Elf2bin problem

[Azuki]

Hi everybody,

I try to convert a .elf file i have made and i use (it works on DC with the cable) in a .bin file to make an autoboot CD.

I try several elf2bin tools but errors occur :


BFD: Warning: Writing section `.text' to huge (ie negative) file offset 0x8bfe00
00.
BFD: Warning: Writing section `.rodata' to huge (ie negative) file offset 0x8c04

/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/TEMP/elf2bin_tmp/sh-elf-objcopy: test.bin: File truncated
ELF2BI.EXE: Conversion of test.elf to test.bin completed.


Anyone could help me please ?

Try 1st_read.bin checker (http://www.consolevision.com/members/fackue/?My_Projects:1st_read.bin_file_checker) as in contains extra parameters for the extact problem you're getting.

Yes it's depends of your binutils version. If you want to put the conversion in your makefiles, you can do this (Does your tool support commands line Fakue ? If yes ignore the next of this message) :

To know the version of your binutils type sh-elf-objcopy -v.

If your version is 2.13 or minor, use the command : sh-elf-objcopy -O binary myproggy.elf myproggy.bin

For 2.14 the command is : sh-elf-objcopy -S -R .stack -O binary myproggy.elf myproggy.bin

My tool add -R .stack... though I don't remember using -S. It didn't seem to have problems... what's -S for?

PS : I updated my Elf2bin (http://sbibuilder.dc-france.com/index.php?mod=archives&ac=voir&id=81) proggy too.
