Generating a Linux kernel image with ramdisk to hex or srec format

May 10, 2004 1 Replies

Hi all,



I have a 486 board, which is currently running on a monitor software with commands like download/execute etc. The board consists of two serial ports as a means for communication with desktop pc.



I need to boot this board with any embedded linux, i am trying to build a linux image for this.



But the problem is , since the board's monitor software takes intel hex format file or motorola srec format file. I need to know how a Linux kernel image with ramdisk to be converted into hex format.



Please help me out.



Regards Arun Kumar
