I'm not sure if BDI can load .srec file, unless it can parse srec syntax.

You should dump memory to compare vmlinux directly, not vmlinux.srec. .srec did
wrapper on vmlinux.

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.
