AM2634: Does the AM2634 support executing elf64?

Ryan Apur

Part Number: AM2634

The bootloader driver in the mcu plus SDK for am263x includes code for parsing elf64 files from the mcelf. Does the AM2634 support executing elf64 in some way?

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for your query,

No ELF64 is not supported on AM2634, as AM2634 is a 32-bit ARM R5F architecture.

Thank you - is there a case/chip where this is supported using the bootloader driver? Wondering if we can safely remove this code in our fork, thanks.

I did not understand your comment. Are you asking for another chip recommendation?

Sorry for the confusion - wondering why the bootloader driver has elf64 parsing support if the R5F is 32 bit. Is there another chip that uses the bootloader driver that is 64 bit?

Yes thats true, it because we have a shared code base with ARM series of microprocessor.
