AM2634: What is the meaning of the cannot be loaded and run on a target system?

YoonJin Kim

Part Number: AM2634

Hi, Supporter,

We are using AM2634/AUTOSAR platform, and build our system using AUTOSAR vendor makefile.

I found that there is build log which is "warning: output file "output\Application.elf" cannot be loaded and run on a target system"

Actually, elf file is created and it can run on the RAM(in DEV mode).

But when I tried to download the image to External flash using QSPI and change the mode to BOOT mode. In case of this it can not jump to the application start address(_start0=0x70040000).

Due to this reason, I suspect below log. Could you let me know what is the problem?

Actually, we have legacy code with build CCS tool. And it can run in Dev mode and also BOOT mode.

Hi YoonJin Kim,

Can you share your application linker command file?

Thanks And Regards,

Hi,

Which bootloader are you using?Are you trying to load elf file onto qspi flash and trying to boot?

Thanks And Regards,

Sunil

Hi,

Yes. We are using TI bootloader and we are trying to load elf file onto qspi flash and trying to boot.

0 Sunil Kumar M S over 2 years ago in reply to YoonJin Kim

TI__Genius 12470 points

Hi Kim,

You need to convert ELF file to appimage and then flash it and try over qspi bootmode. You can find scripts $MCAL_INSTALL_DIR\build\bootimage_scripts\

Our SBL supports only rprc image format parsing. Please find the detailed documentation below.

software-dl.ti.com/.../BOOTFLOW_GUIDE.html

Thanks And Regards,

Hi,

I already convert the elf file to appimage and flash it to external flash.

I wonder what is the meaning of the "warning: output file "output\Application.elf" cannot be loaded and run on a target system"?

I don't know this is related to not APP running or not.

As I said above, we have

- TI bootloader image(#A)

- APP image(#@B) build with CCS

- AUTOSAR APP image(#C).

When I try to flash #A and #B with Boot Mode, It is running.

But When I try to flash #A and #C with Boot mode, It is not running

Hi,

Have you referred MCAL linker file and updated the changes? Can you make sure all sections are 8B aligned?

Hi Kim,

Our SBL expert informed me that this warning is because TI Bootloader does not support different load/run sections.

Any updates on this issue?

Thanks And Regards,
