Firmware placement for EzPort

alexeyusoltsev — Wed, 18 Oct 2017 08:43:06 GMT

Good day ladies and gentlemen,

I need help.

I've made project and a PCB (№2) that have to program main PCB(№1) through EzPort. For that purpose I am to make a firmware that contain firmware for itself and firmware for another board linked at curtain address(for board №1).

So my question is how can I link existing *elf file into project to place it in the flash under known address?(for further upload to another board through EzPort)

P.S.: I've heard that some utilities can convert *elf/*bin to .c files that i can deal with. But I'd glad to learn other solution to the problem.

Best regards,

Alexey.

Hi Alexey

You can use GCC "objcopy" to generate binary files from your elf files. Then you can use the uTasker utilities to combine them or to convert them to c files: http://www.utasker.com/forum/index.php?topic=1445.0
Tools and details at the link.

Also see the uTasker EzPort cloner that allows one board to clone another via EzPort:
