+
+@cindex download to Sparclet
+Once connected to the Sparclet target,
+you can use the @value{GDBN}
+@code{load} command to download the file from the host to the target.
+The file name and load offset should be given as arguments to the @code{load}
+command.
+Since the file format is aout, the program must be loaded to the starting
+address. You can use objdump to find out what this value is. The load
+offset is an offset which is added to the VMA (virtual memory address)
+of each of the file's sections.
+For instance, if the program
+@file{prog} was linked to text address 0x1201000, with data at 0x12010160
+and bss at 0x12010170, in @value{GDBN}, type:
+
+@example
+(gdbslet) load prog 0x12010000
+Loading section .text, size 0xdb0 vma 0x12010000
+@end example
+
+If the code is loaded at a diferent address then what the program was linked
+to, you may need to use the @code{section} and @code{add-symbol-file} commands
+to tell @value{GDBN} where to map the symbol table.
