I will summarize all points, which can be the trigger for the problem which appears, when you try to build a bootimage from an existing elf file.

Error: failed to query the load address

1. Please check the netx.xml file from your Bootwizard installation.

   At the beginning of the file you will find a section with Toolset.
   Please check, if the global variable "%PATH_GNU_ARM%bin\" is valid.
   (Check it with set path_gnu)

   The output should look like:
   

   D:\Daten\_eigene_Projekte\netX>set path_gnu
   PATH_GNU_ARM=C:\Programme\Hitex\GnuToolPackageArm\

   
   You can also enter the direct path into the xml file.

2. An other problem could be in the linker description file (*.ld). Please open the file and search for the entry:
   

   /* We have to locate the Stack first of all */
   .stack 0x00000800 : /* 2 KByte */
   {
   *(.stack_data)
   }

   
   now enter the value "(NOLOAD)" behind the address
   

   /* We have to locate the Stack first of all */
   .stack 0x00000800 (NOLOAD) : /* 2 KByte */
   {
   *(.stack_data)
   }

   
   Compile the project again and try to create the bootimage.

3. In some cases there where a problem with the folder names: The problem are some 'Space' characters in the folder name.

   For Example:
   

   Quote:

   "This is a Test" = will show the described error Message
   "This_is_a_Test" or "ThisisaTest" = will work without any problems.
