Greetings,
Since the ELF header is interpreted by LinuxBIOS, it should be flashed as binary so it is retained.

We've got a Data I/O machine and I would like to use it to burn my linuxbios.rom image to flash.
What format is this image? If I'm not mistaken it's ELF, but the DATA I/O doesn't have a listing for ELF files. Has anyone used this type of burner to flash their BIOS chips?
Only the payload is ELF. That is the code that is executed after hardware setup is done. This allows easy development of applications on top of LinuxBIOS.
The LinuxBIOS image itself is just a raw 1:1 image of what needs to be burned to the flash chip. No headers, no bells, no whistles.
