We use FreeBSD as the developement machine. One of our first attempts is to load and execute a "hello world" program (compiled with serial port support) on a 486 board. I am interested in learning what binary format to go with. Seems like ELF is the way to go. I would appreciate any other comments about the binary formats. Eventually this would be the bootstarp loader for our micro-kernel. I am trying to find out if there is a gcc compiler available on FreeBSD which cross-compiles for the ELF format. Any other suggestions are also welcome. Thanks Vinay -- Vinay Bannai E-mail: bannai@best.com
