Dynamic loading ARM9 executables.

Note: This was originally posted on 28th January 2009 at http://forums.arm.com

Hi all,

Our system have one DSP and one ARM and system will boot with DSP then DSP should load ARM executable in ARM program memory. how to do this ?.
We tried the following, but unable to succeed .
1] build the ARM code(which has boot code also), it will generate '.out ' executable
2] convert '.out ' executable into binary using hex470.exe .
3] From DSP read generated binary file and copy into arm program memory.

I think we are missing something like we need get address of each sections like .text , .data etc.. according to that we need to copy(is it right??). But how to get this address location information?
Or is there any procedure to do that?

Thank you,
Vicky
