bFLT & IDA Disassembly

[jcsistemas2001]

Hi All,

I want to disassembly an uClinux application (.flt file) and after assembler and execute again.

Using the bFLT loader available (with IDA Pro) and following sample code (main.c):

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
   return 0;
}

After pass this code by the toolchain [i) gcc -S main.c, ii) as main.o, iii) ld.exe -elf2flt crti.o crtn.o crt1.o libc.a main.o), the program run without problems in a Coldfire board.

After that, I disassemble the main.flt (obtained from the previous process) with the bFLT loader and IDA (with default options). Later, I produce the assembler code (mainR.s) and I do the following tasks: i) as -M mainR.s, ii) ld.exe -elf2flt, iii) Execute the mainR.flt. In this last task, I get an error if I try to execute the program mainR.flt:

"Unable to read code data bss, errno 22"

The header FLT is:

Magic:        bFLT
Rev:          4
Build Date:   Mon Feb 18 18:02:34 2013
Entry:        0x50
Data Start:   0x480
Data End:     0x3f

Stack Size:   0x1000
Reloc Start:  0x3f
Reloc Count:  0xb
Flags:        0x1 ( Load-to-Ram )

And the original (before use the loader and IDA) is:

Magic:        bFLT
 Rev:          4
 Build Date:   Mon Feb 18 17:46:13 2013
 Entry:        0x44
 Data Start:   0x400
 Data End:     0x43c
 BSS End:      0x470
 Stack Size:   0x1000
 Reloc Start:  0x43c
 Reloc Count:  0x2f
 Flags:        0x1 ( Load-to-Ram )

I'm not sure where the problem is.

Please, if you can give any advices.

Thanks

This forum is about the development of Rockbox, and has nothing to do with uClinux. This is not really a suitable place to ask.

Hello Torne,

I asked because I found this on their website:

Anyway, Thanks
