<p>Once connected to the Sparclet target,
you can use the <small>GDB</small>
<code>load</code> command to download the file from the host to the target.
The file name and load offset should be given as arguments to the <code>load</code>
command.
Since the file format is aout, the program must be loaded to the starting
address.  You can use <code>objdump</code> to find out what this value is.  The load
offset is an offset which is added to the VMA (virtual memory address)
of each of the file&rsquo;s sections.
For instance, if the program
<samp>prog</samp> was linked to text address 0x1201000, with data at 0x12010160
and bss at 0x12010170, in <small>GDB</small>, type:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">(gdbslet) load prog 0x12010000
Loading section .text, size 0xdb0 vma 0x12010000
</pre></div>

<p>If the code is loaded at a different address then what the program was linked
to, you may need to use the <code>section</code> and <code>add-symbol-file</code> commands
to tell <small>GDB</small> where to map the symbol table.
