[microblaze-uclinux] How to strip petalinux binaries

[klaphik@xxxxxxxxx]

Hello everyone,
Please forgive me if I'm asking a question with an obvious answer.

To illustrate my problem, I've created a stock application by using "petalinux-new_app". Now when I try and run microblaze-uclinux-strip I get a message saying the file format is not recognised.

I figure the tools are automatically converting the image from an elf into something else (elf2flt), my question is how can I strip the resulting binary, or get the tools to strip the elf file before converting it?

My screen dump below, just in case.

Many thanks.

[klaphik@asp hello]$ make
microblaze-uclinux-gcc  -c -Os -g -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -fno-common -fno-builtin -Wall  -mno-xl-soft-mul -mxl-barrel-shift -mcpu=v7.00.b   -DEMBED -I/home/tipaye/petalinux/software/petalinux-dist -I/home/tipaye/petalinux/software/petalinux-dist/include -I/home/tipaye/petalinux/software/petalinux-dist/include -Dlinux -D__linux__ -Dunix -D__uClinux__ -DLINUX -o hello.o hello.c
