I seem to be missing an important, and probably basic, part of knowledge to get my software running.

I have a SAM9G25-ek board running a Linux kernel with a buildroot filesystem. I can connect via serial/ssh with no problems.

I also have a Linux and Windows tool chain that will compile the provided example code and some of my own. I have used scp to copy the .bin and .elf files onto the board but they always seg fault when I execute them. Am I supposed to be moving these files to the board using sam-ba, im guessing so because they are labeled sram and ddram, if so how I access them to start them after it has booted into linux? I have used several of the example files as well as some of my own, including a basic hello world.

Apologies if I'm missing something basic but I've looked everywhere and the instructions I find are always just 'execute the program' without much else.

Ah yea I was definitely confused.

I was using arm-none-eabi and the examples where I needed to be using arm-none-linux-gnueabi.
