Yes, elf2flt has ARM noMMU support I think it is just not complete enough to work with recent gcc and binutils. I can't compile a working busybox binary without this patch: http://mailman.uclinux.org/pipermail/uclinux-dev/2016-March/052707.html Isn't this the mailing list to sent patches for elf2flt? best regards Waldemar
