><P
> RedBoot is built as an application on top of eCos. The makefile rules
for building RedBoot are part of the eCos CDL package, so it's
possible to build eCos from the <SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>Configuration
Tool</SPAN
>, as well as from the command line using
<SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>ecosconfig</SPAN
>.</P
><P
>Building RedBoot requires only a few steps: selecting the
platform and the RedBoot template, importing a platform specific
configuration file, and finally starting the build.</P
><P
>The platform specific configuration file makes sure the settings
are correct for building RedBoot on the given platform. Each platform
should provide at least two of these configuration files:
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>redboot_RAM.ecm</TT
> for a RAM mode RedBoot
configuration and <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>redboot_ROM.ecm</TT
> or
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>redboot_ROMRAM.ecm</TT
> for a ROM or ROMRAM mode
RedBoot configuration. There may be additional
configuration files according to the requirements of the particular
platform.</P
><P
>The RedBoot build process results in a number of files in the
install <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>bin</TT
> directory. The ELF
file <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>redboot.elf</TT
> is the pricipal
result. Depending on the platform CDL, there will also be generated
versions of RedBoot in other file formats, such as
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>redboot.bin</TT
> (binary format, good when doing an
update of a primary RedBoot image, see <A
HREF="updating-redboot.html#UPDATE-PRIMARY-IMAGE"
>the Section called <I
>Update the primary RedBoot flash image</I
> in Chapter 4</A
>), <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>redboot.srec</TT
>
(Motorola S-record format, good when downloading a RAM mode image for
execution), and <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>redboot.img</TT
> (stripped ELF format,
good when downloading a RAM mode image for execution, smaller than the
.srec file). Some platforms may provide additional file formats and
also relocate some of these files to a
particular address making them more suitable for downloading using a
different boot monitor or flash programming tools.</P
><P
>The platform specific information in <A
HREF="installation-and-testing.html"
>Chapter 5</A
> should be consulted, as there may
be other special instructions required to build RedBoot for particular
platforms.</P
