Hi all
   I want to develop program in cortexA8, If i choose --cpu=Cortex-A8 in compiler , assembler, linker options, and the Debugger target as Cortex-A8

  Welcome to RealView Debugger v4.1.2

After load the image,the disassembly window shows:

    Could of possibilities spring to mind....

    1) The debugger by default sets the PC to the image's entry/start address.  You may de-selected this option, in which case the PC would stay at the reset value.
    2) The image's entry point is deliberately 0x0, and the image has 0s at address 0x0.  This seems unlikely - but possible.
    3) You image doesn't have an entry point, in which the default is (I belive) 0x0.  This seems the most likely.

    For three, the linker sets the entry point in the ELF header.  The entry points are specified in source file.  If multiple source files define entry points the linker won't know which one  to use, so you have to specify one.  Oddly, if you forget to specify it doesn;t set any.
