Hello everybody, i am trying to download the ELf image compiled on linux using a cross compiler for powerpc on to SDS simulator.. the error that it is giving is "aborting due to failure of ELF reader" after changing some unknown numbers(0000000000,137777777) in the .elf file the error goes... but the real problem is that i have linked the printf function dynamically(thats done by default).. so the code of the printf is not seen while i try to debug it in the SDS debugger. it shows illegal instruction at the point where printf's code shld occur.. shld i use static library instead.. it would really be nice if u could solve my problem. thanks in advance regards vandana ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
