Execution of ELF?

Post by pcmattman »

I'm still working on the filesystem stuff (see recent posts) but I can read blocks from the floppy drive and I'd like to know how to get the actual executable data out of an ELF file... I can currently execute plain binary files without any problem (just load them via a sector number :D), just the current problem is how to run an ELF executable.

Seriously.. Do you just forget to Google? It's not very hard.. :?

It's a fairly documented entity! ;)

I actually searched for Elf spec after Tyler's post, but didn't say anything...
