fw_elf

This is a tool to create an ELF from a bnx2 firmware file.1)

Usage: 

Usage: ./fw_elf <mips.fw> <com|cp|rxp|tpat|txp> <out.elf>

Example: 

[daniel@daniel-pc gsoc]$ ./fw_elf bnx2_bnx2-mips-06-6.2.3.fw txp txp.elf
Done

This produces the file txp.elf with appropriate .text, .data, and .rodata sections. This file should be easily loaded into a disassembler/debugger.
