Re: programming ppcboot onto an sbc8260 with a vision ice

[Peter Desnoyers <pdesnoyers@chinook.com>]

You need to take the ELF file, ppcboot, and convert it into a .bin file
using the vision ICE convert utility.

The file format referred to as "BIN" in the visionICE documentation
isn't a real binary image - it has a special header.
