FAQ for UC-7110

FAQ 5 How do I compress an application program?

Answer 5 UC7110’s kernel supports ZFLAT format files. This means that when you compile the program, you can add the compress option to reduce the size of the binary file. Doing so will reduce the required flash space on the user disk. The disadvantage of using the compress option is that it takes about 5% to 10% more time when loading the program from Flash to RAM. After uncompressing and loading the program to RAM, there is no difference. You just need to modify the makefile, LDFLAGS, as follows:

LDFLAGS = -g,-WI,-T,/usr/local/arm-elf/lib/elf2flt.ld -elf2flt= “-z –r”

NOTE: The user directory’s JFFS2 file system also has a compress function. If you compile the program with the ZFLAT feature, the file will only be compressed by an additional 5% to 10% when you copy the program into JFFS2 Flash.

FAQ 6 Since UC-7110’s tool chain currently does not support GDB server, how do I disable a function by using the Makefile example to generate the gdb file?

Answer 6 Edit the file /usr/local/arm-elf/bin/ldon the PC Linux platform. Add one line after line 133 (the content of line 133 is: rm –f $OFILE.elf #not needed for any reason) as follows: rm –f $OFILE.gdb. I.e., after you edit the file lines 133 and 134 will look like:

Line 133: rm –f $OFILE.elf #not needed for any reason

Line 134: rm –f $OFILE.gdb
