Hello,
A dump of the contents of kernel.kip section in image.elf shows the following:

However a look at the contents of l4kernel binary (in build/pistachio/bin) shows the empty contents from address 0xf00241f0 to 0xf0024260.
Could anyone please explain me what is the elfweaver doing such that the memory at the above address is being overwritten in generation of the final elf.
My concern is that when I use my toolchain, these address range (0xf00241f0 to 0xf0024260) is filled with zeros in the final image.elf as in l4microkernel.
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Aparna
