[ECOS] Re: Regarding ROMRAM applications

[Alan Bowman <abowman at synaptics-uk dot com>]

Please send requests to the mailing list - if you want individual 
support, them I'm sure there are people on the list who would be able to 
arrange a support contract.

I have no experience with the EB40A board.  However, I had a problem 
when it came to building a ROMRAM application for an EB55.  There was 
some masking in the startup code that was supposed to copy code from 
flash to RAM that had been set up wrongly.  I don't know if the EB40A 
might be similarly afflicted?

The file size that you have quoted may well contain debugging 
information that will not end up being programmed into your flash.  Try 
using arm-elf-size (I think this is the correct tool) to see how large 
it believes your application is.
