Hi Quanlong,

image.elf has the segment virtual addresses corresponding to where the
programs have been linked and the segment physical addresses to where
the segments should be loaded.  The entry point is set to the virtual
starting address of the kernel.  The virtual and physical addresses are
not necessarily the same.

image.boot, on the other hand, has the segment virtual addresses set to
be the same as the physical addresses and the entry point set physical
entry point of the kernel.

Does your jtag debugger support elf files?

Malcolm
