  • 64134f011   Fix linker scripts: add NOLOAD atribute to .bss/.sbss sections ... Browse Code »
    21

    With recent toolchain versions, some boards would not build because
    or errors like this one (here for ocotea board when building with
    ELDK 4.2 beta):
    ppc_4xx-ld: section .bootpg [fffff000 -> fffff23b] overlaps section .bss [fffee900 -> fffff8ab]

    For many boards, the .bss section is big enough that it wraps around
    at the end of the address space (0xFFFFFFFF), so the problem will not
    be visible unless you use a 64 bit tool chain for development. On
    some boards however, changes to the code size (due to different
    optimizations) we bail out with section overlaps like above.

    The fix is to add the NOLOAD attribute to the .bss and .sbss
    sections, telling the linker that .bss does not consume any space in
    the image.

  • f93286397   Add support for a saving build objects in a separate directory. ... Browse Code »

    Modifications are based on the linux kernel approach and
    support two use cases:

    1) Add O= to the make command line
    'make O=/tmp/build all'

    2) Set environement variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location
    'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
    'make'

    The second approach can also be used with a MAKEALL script
    'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
    './MAKEALL'

    Command line 'O=' setting overrides BUILD_DIR environent variable.

    When none of the above methods is used the local build is performed and
    the object files are placed in the source directory.
