Memory dump from Yamon shows correct download , but when I gave go command followed by load address its giving exception. > You should dump memory to compare vmlinux directly, not vmlinux.srec. .srec did wrapper on vmlinux. > " > > YAMON> go 0x80093bf8 And this is not correct start address since the start address is not same as load address on YAMON. Firstly you should get the offset from entry address to load address on vmlinux. You can refer to Makefile and System.map. Then add this offset on your real load address to get your real entry address.
