Hi Andreas, John

Yes, the .romfs section is in the elf file, however the way it gets 
there, via objcopy, means that the section is not in a segment.  This, 
in turen, causes it to be ignored by some elf loaders (including the elf 
loader in the Xilinx XMD utility).

It is a matter of opinion whether this is a bug in the elf loader, or 
the objcopy tool, but there is no concensus.  Some elf loaders work as 
expected, others don't.

This is why, when downloading kernels to boards using Xilinx's XMD tool, 
you must download the .bin file, *not* the .elf file.

John
