Name: Booting the ADSP2181 in an embedded system from an binary
converted exe
Category: General software
Application: embedded system with small memory on host and an ADSP2181 
booted from host
Advantages: save memory for ADSP2181 program and boost booting
Introduction: If you use an embedded system with small memory and you
must save ROM space, you can reduce the program size about to half if
you save the exe file in binary format.
The Trick: I have written a little program to convert the *.exe file, 
generated from ADSP2181 linker, to a sourcefile in x86 asm format to be 
include the *.exe in the fardata on the x86 in binary format. 
A second c-function can be included in the host program and boots the
ADSP2181.
