ELF loader problem with CFE on ASUS WL500g

[Bruce M Simpson]

Hi,

I just tried to boot the WGT634U kernel on the ASUS WL500g.

CFE version is 1.0.37.

It appears there's yet another problem with the ELF loader there -- it 
now looks at the p_paddr field. As this is out of range for physical 
memory (GNU ld set it the same as p_vaddr), it balks.

Any suggestions for workarounds? I tried using the GNU ld "MEMORY" 
directive, however, it seems to munge p_vaddr also.

It looks like objcopy's --change-section-lma option, with a negative 
offset, would do what I want, however it will need to be scripted to 
work on named sections.

cheers
