The fromELF utility translates Executable Linkable Format (ELF) image files produced by armlink into other formats suited to ROM tools and to loading directly into memory. You can also use it to display various information about an ELF object or to generate text files containing the information.
fromELF outputs the following image formats:
Plain binary format.
Motorola 32-bit S-record format.
Intel Hex-32 format.
Byte Oriented (Verilog Memory Model) Hex format.
ELF format. You can resave as ELF. For example,
you can convert a -debug ELF image to a -nodebug ELF
image).
fromELF can also display information about the input file, for example disassembly output or symbol listings, to either standard output or a text file.
Do not link your images with the -nodebug linker
option if you require a -fieldoffsets fromELF
step. If your image is produced without debug information:
fromELF cannot translate the image into other file formats
fromELF cannot produce a meaningful disassembly listing.
