DESCRIPTION

bin2aout takes a pure binary executable (i.e. a binary file with no header that is to be executed by loading to a known address and jumping to the download address ), and outputs a file in a.out format whose text section contains the input file, and whose data section contains an image validation structure that will allow the file to be built into a flash.bin by the ISOS build tools.

It is currently intended for use with Linux kernels as part of the build process, and should not normally be invoked directly.

The default entry point and chip type are correct for Linux on Claudius
