hex470 support for --entrypoint paramter?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP-L138

Hi all

    If you run the ARM hex utility hex470 from the command line, you see a reference point to a '--entrypoint' parameter:

> hex470 --help
TMS470 Hex Converter                    v4.6.3
Tools Copyright (c) 1996-2010 Texas Instruments Incorporated

[...]

General Options:
  --byte,-byte                 Output as bytes rather than target addressing
  --entrypoint,-e=addr         Specify entrypoint address or symbol name
  --exclude,-exclude=section   Exclude section from hex conversion
  --fill,-fill=val             Specify fill value
  --help,-options,-h           Display help
  --image,-image               Select image mode
  --linkerfill,-linkerfill     Include linker fill sections in images
  --map,-map=file              Specify map file name
  --memwidth,-memwidth=width   Specify memory width
  --olength,-olength=num       Number of data items per line of hex output
  --outfile,-o=file            Specify output file names
  --quiet,-quiet,-q            Quiet Operation
  --romwidth,-romwidth=width   Specify rom width
  --zero,-zero,-z              Zero based addressing


Is this parameter actually supported?. We possible have a use for this useful-sounding feature, but trying to have a '-e' entry in our command file doesn't seem to have any effect.

Thanks
