Hi,

Can someone provide inputs on how to generate the .map file for the entire 

build (from buildroot).

Can you give more details about what is the .map file?

As far as I understand, map files (or memory map files) are a 
representation of the memory space of a single application

It makes sense to have a "complete memory map" when you have 
a single application running on your system (typically a microcontroler)

when you have a machine with a MMU i'm not sure it makes much 
sense... you can have a memory map for the kernel, a memory map for each
application, but i'm not sure what a memory map for the complete
buildroot build would be...

maybe if you use an initrd and have your whole FS in ram ? but even in
that case i'm not convinced that makes sense...
