After some more thought I'm not very sure how to proceed.
I'll be using the below 2 patches in the next patch spin in place of
patch 1 in the current series.
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20180623210810.21232-2-david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20180623210810.21232-3-david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
They figure out the PAGE (IRAM vs DRAM) by looking at TI specific section
attributes.
e.g.
[18] .TI.phattrs LOPROC+f000004 00000000 000e08 000010 00 0 0 4
[19] .TI.section.flags LOPROC+f000005 00000000 000e68 00002a 00 0 0 0
[20] .TI.section.page LOPROC+f000007 00000000 000e92 00002a 00 0 0 0
AFAIK the ELF by GNU pru-ld won't contain these sections.
We need to support ELF generated by both tools (TI clpru and GNU pru-ld).
Is it safe to assume that if the ELF doesn't have the TI specific sections
then it was generated by gnupru?
Is there a more straight forward way of differentiating the two. e.g. by looking
at something in the ELF header?
