Files Generated Automatically

The mkimage tool generates three files:

• The bootconf program, ${IMAGE_DIR}/bconf/${SYSTEM}_bconf.r

• A program that stores the kdb symbol tables, ${IMAGE_DIR}/symb/${SYSTEM}_symb.r

• A data file that stores the initial state of the system environment, ${IMAGE_DIR}/environ

The Auto-generated files folder contains definitions of File objects corresponding to these three files. The File objects must be named bootconf, symb, and env_file, respectively.

Example 5-9 is an extract of the SBC8260 board-specific configuration file, and contains the Auto-generated files definition.
