I have Embedded Planet 860 RPX board and I’d like to burn binary IPL to
FLASH. Embedded Kit makes ipl-rpx-lite IPL in srec format. If I modify
800fads.link with binary instead of srec then ld screams something about
…text and a negative address (sorry, don’t have ld output handy). mkrec
converts from binary to srec. mkimage is simply missing from Embedded Kit as
well as a few more things. I hate saying this but Embedded Kit packaging is
very lame 
Guys, try a clean installation and you’ll see that no RPX-lite
stuff can be “make”-ed w/o fixing minor problems
The whole idea behind RPX-Lite packaging is that QNX stuff will be burnt
with RPX FLASH burner. (At least I am getting this impression from
docs.)Unfortunately such approach will not work for field upgrades.
Look into using ntoppc-objcopy to copy the ipl from srec to binary.

Yeh, I wish it was as my mistypo said 
It can NOT be “make”-ed w/o
problems.
For example, -I and -L options in makefiles point everywhere but still not
in right place.

Thanks. I’ll give it a shot.

Did you type “make” from the root (i.e. /rpx-lite). On my
system it builds cleanly.

Ok, I see. It’s not a bug. It’s a feature
