elf loader for NIOS-II

Altera_Forum · ‎10-28-2004

I STFA but didn’t find what I was looking for.

We have an application where we’re considering interpreting ELF executables from flash at boot-time and so would like to put an ELF interpreter into our Nios-II. I’m wondering if Altera (or anyone else) has source for a Nios-II implementation for such a thing or if we’ll have to roll our own, say from libelf.

Thanks.

It sounds like the features you're looking for are supplied as a part of the Redboot boot monitor. This is available for download as a part of the eCos operating system from this forum.

Redboot includes an elf loader and a flash management utility.

For a complete list of Redboot features, see:

tcw,

You could also try u-boot with the "bootelf" command enabled.
