Well, the title says everything.

The CAL IL documentation mentions a document that describes the binary image format. But unfortunately I was unable to find it.

Could some AMD guy tell me where we can find it?

Or is it AMD's intention to keep it secret?

if you mean compiled binary kernels from openCl then they are in ELF format. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executable_and_Linkable_Format

I think there is a section in openCL programming guide for SDK 2.3 in appendix.

Thanks for your answers.

What I'm looking for is the detail of the content of the ELF sections. I already knew it is in ELF format, and the one and an half page in the SDK is not really usefull.

ISA opcode seems to be in a .text section, and it also seems there is a .data section that holds initialization data. I want to see a detailled description of those sections.
