howto build an executable file for ftp to ram

Altera_Forum · ‎11-12-2004

I can compile an application, say "hello world", place it in my flash file system, and all is well. It runs fine. But if I ftp that same executable file into the ram fs (/var). It crashes, I think because the addressing in the executable is outside of the flash addressing range. I thought that I only needed to enable the -r flag during the compile/link. But I see that is already turned on. Thanks in advance. Alex

Alex,

I can download LeechFTP v1.3 and setup it in windows2000.Then set the usename and password as same as your board login name.(for example: usename:root;password:uClinux ).Set Host or URL as same as

your board IP(It must be in the same network as your PC) and Port is 21.

It FTP your board easy,have luck!

I don't think there are problems in using ftp to upload executables to /var, as long as the executables can fit in the ramdisk. Make sure binary format, not ascii, is used when you upload the executable.
