I have a problem with binutils-2.17 objcopy, and IEEE-695 support. I am trying to use objcopy to convert an ELF file from Tasking VX 2.1r1 toolchain for the Infineon c16x into an IEEE-695 format for use with an earlier Tasking debugger.
I have downloaded binutils version 2.17, and built it with --enable-targets=all, using cygwin. I can run the conversion from ELF to IEEE, but the resulting file cannot be read by the debugger. It cannot be read by objcopy itself, which I find quite odd. I am not sure whether to suspect the reading or writing of the file, and I am having trouble finding much about the file format. This is what I see: C:\DOCUME~1\JROBIN~1\WORKSP~1\myproj\Debug>readelf -h myproj.elf ELF Header: Magic: 7f 45 4c 46 01 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Class: ELF32 Data: 2's complement, little endian Version: 1 (current) OS/ABI: UNIX - System V ABI Version: 0 Type: EXEC (Executable file) Machine: <unknown>: 74 Version: 0x1 Entry point address: 0x1054 Start of program headers: 52 (bytes into file) Start of section headers: 107504 (bytes into file) Flags: 0x2 Size of this header: 52 (bytes) Size of program headers: 32 (bytes) Number of program headers: 171 Size of section headers: 40 (bytes) Number of section headers: 188 Section header string table index: 1 C:\DOCUME~1\JROBIN~1\WORKSP~1\myproj\Debug>c:\cygwin\binutils-2.17\binutils\objcopy -I elf32-little -O ieee myproj.elf myproj_0.abs C:\DOCUME~1\JROBIN~1\WORKSP~1\myproj\Debug>c:\cygwin\binutils-2.17\binutils\objcopy -I ieee -O ieee myproj_0.abs myproj_1.abs /binutils-2.17/binutils/objcopy: myproj_0.abs: File format not recognized I suspect this happens with almost any elf->abs->abs conversion. When I have attached my example files the email has been rejected. If anyone wants my examples files, please email me.
