Develop ELF applications

[pt1989]

thanks you very much Bullfrog... I have now loaded Fbrowser properly with MotoMixer ( i was trying with Elfloader application but failed) what is the elfloader application for? but when i try to execute Test.elf cellphone restarts... does every elf have to be different as well so what compilers are required for the same?? I think on motofan they were discussing about using some ARM compilers used for GameBoy development or something... but the translated text was a bit confusing.. please guide me

ok so i compiled with GoldRoad the test.asm assembly file but when i launched it thro' Fbrowser it just exits (however phone doesn't restart ) and suprisingly the older test.elf also causes Fbrowser to quit but not the phone to restart...

the make.bat when launched gives me an error bigend not a valid option (P.S. i have turbo C++ installed is it because i have an older version)
I saw the commands and it launches an ARMlink program which i guess is another compiler.

i think it works like this it causes Turbo C++ to EDITproduce the object and then uses the arm compiler to produce the final executable binary. Am i right??

Yes I've found this another compiler at motofan.ru

DOWNLOAD HERE

IMPORTANT
Put files from asm folder to c:/asm
Rest fules can be anywhere

Thanks a lot EOG i wanted that armlinker program couldn't find it... are u sure it's not warez anyways i don't give a damn i got it now 
i downloaded GNUarm mebbe that can help in the future... don't u think the it should be c:\arm instead of c:\asm
besides i also think that u should add c:\arm to the PATH variable. Cause the batch program directly calls the armlink file.... thanks a lot dude

Also how do u put the SDK into the compiler cause the helloworld.h has this

Code:

#include<apps.h>

and not

Code:

#include"SDK/apps.h"

means the SDK has to be integrated with the headers of the compiler, i guess

OK so i actually compiled everything but the helloworld program still doesn't work but it compiles... also i will tell you how to make an FPA ELF patch for *any* CG1 of a RSA removed motorola MP. The patch would have to applied manually cause as Bullfrog said it patches something beyond the normal CG1.
First download the following :
1. ADS
2. PortKit
3. MotoSDK 1.0a
4. GNUARM (optional alternative way i found of compiling useful if working from Linux)

Follow this procedure then

• create a folder in root of C as PortKit (u can choose any)
• extract SDK folder form MotoSDK into C:\PortKit
• All files from ADS (the exe's and dll's ) into C:\PortKit
• Copy the arm folder from the ADS archive into c. so u should have c:\arm . This need not contain the exe's and dll's
• Extract PortKit into c:\Portkit
• Add to the PATH variable C:\Portkit

[/list]

OPTIONAL way setting up GnuArm

• Install Gnuarm from gnuarm.com
• Search for include folders in the Gnuarm install directory. There should be two of them. Copy header files from SDK folder in motoSDK to both
• Compile with arm-elf-cpp

Creating FPA patches for any firmware.

• Split the firmware using ShxCodec.
• Copy the CG1 into the PortKit folder and rename it to CG1.smg
• Edit make.cmd file with notepad search for 'set PLATFORM = NONE'. Replace none with your phone type e.g. E398 would be LTE L7 would be LTE2 and a special one for V3i
• Edit file c:\PortKit\obj\sysinfo.c  with notepad. There replace the default settings with your phone settings. Remember if you are not aware of programming then do not delete the semi-colon at the end and also make sure the text is within the double quotes
• Goto Start -> Run -> cmd. In the console type
  

Code:

cd c:\Portkit
make.cmd CG1.smg

[/li]

• Now in the build folder u will have the two fpa patches Register.fpa and elfpack.fpa Also u will have elfloader.lib and lib.o. Copy the elfloader.lib and lib.o into b/elf on your phone
• For compiling u need to keep the lib.o

I have tried to make this as simple and correct as possible... please correct if there is anything wrong.

HelloWorld is has no graphic it;s juzst system sound player. when you start it by fbrowser go back to walpaper(using 'red button') and press buttons on keypad(remember * unloads HelloWorld)

yeah thanks it works now ...
