Re: trying to use gdb to disassemble a binary file

["Robert Bu" <robert.bu@gmail.com>]

I can get the architecture information on my MIPS by
"mips-elf-objcopy -I binary -O elf32-bigmips -B mips test.bin test.elf"

However, is that possible to designate the entrypoint(start address) for
the ELF file? The default seems to be 0x0.
