>&#13;RedBoot is built as an application on top of eCos. The makefile rules
93
for building RedBoot are part of the eCos CDL package, so it's
94
possible to build eCos from the <SPAN
95
CLASS="APPLICATION"

>Configuration
97
Tool</SPAN
98
>, as well as from the command line using

<SPAN

>.</P
103
><P
104
>Building RedBoot requires only a few steps: selecting the
105
platform and the RedBoot template, importing a platform specific
106
configuration file, and finally starting the build.</P
107
><P
108
>The platform specific configuration file makes sure the settings
109
are correct for building RedBoot on the given platform. Each platform
110
should provide at least two of these configuration files:
111
<TT
112
CLASS="FILENAME"
113
>redboot_RAM.ecm</TT
114
> for a RAM mode RedBoot
115
configuration and <TT
116
CLASS="FILENAME"
117
>redboot_ROM.ecm</TT
118
> or
119
<TT
120
CLASS="FILENAME"
121
>redboot_ROMRAM.ecm</TT
122
> for a ROM or ROMRAM mode
123
RedBoot configuration. There may be additional
124
configuration files according to the requirements of the particular
125
platform.</P
126
><P
127
>The RedBoot build process results in a number of files in the
128
install <TT
129
CLASS="FILENAME"
130
>bin</TT
131
> directory. The ELF
132
file <TT
133
CLASS="FILENAME"
134
>redboot.elf</TT
135
> is the pricipal
136
result. Depending on the platform CDL, there will also be generated
137
versions of RedBoot in other file formats, such as
138
<TT
139
CLASS="FILENAME"
140
>redboot.bin</TT
141
> (binary format, good when doing an
142
update of a primary RedBoot image, see <A

144

145

CLASS="FILENAME"
149
>redboot.srec</TT
150

151
(Motorola S-record format, good when downloading a RAM mode image for
152
execution), and <TT
153
CLASS="FILENAME"
154
>redboot.img</TT
155
> (stripped ELF format,
156
good when downloading a RAM mode image for execution, smaller than the
157
.srec file). Some platforms may provide additional file formats and
158
also relocate some of these files to a

particular address making them more suitable for downloading using a
160
different boot monitor or flash programming tools.</P
