Allright but check if I'm right in my concepts!
Compiling a program, just text code, no data, and removing its elf reader
makes that we have instructions at the first byte. So if we upload this
file to RCX it should run. Allright?! (I have the key string in the code!)
At the same way I compiled the same program in srec format and changing
the code of the upload program I saved the image of the data that is
really uploaded to the rcx! (This code runs!!!)
Camparing the elf code and the saved image I see no diference at the start
of the files. Just at the end: the elf file has some bytes more than the
saved image?!
Can you understand me?! Both codes has the key string but I don't know why
the first dont run!!!
