2008-12-15 04:55:40     Issues while Placing Library code in L1 Instruction SRAM

Hi all,

http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=using_l1_memory&s[]=memory   gives

-Wl,--sep-code -Wl,--code-in-l1 -Wl,-z,now

as the linker switches to be added while compiling to put shared library code in L1 instruction SRAM.

When i add this, during linking, i get

/opt/uClinux/bfin-linux-uclibc/bfin-linux-uclibc/runtime/usr/lib/crt1.o: In function `__start':

(.text+0x12): warning: warning: relocation references a different segment

/opt/uClinux/bfin-linux-uclibc/bfin-linux-uclibc/runtime/usr/lib/crt1.o: In function `__start':

(.text+0x16): warning: warning: relocation references a different segment

/opt/uClinux/bfin-linux-uclibc/bfin-linux-uclibc/runtime/usr/lib/crt1.o: In function `__start':

(.text+0x1a): warning: warning: relocation references a different segment

/opt/uClinux/bfin-linux-uclibc/bfin-linux-uclibc/runtime/usr/lib/crt1.o: In function `__start':

(.text+0x1e): warning: warning: relocation references a different segment

and the resultant executable files fails to load and execute.

But if i add -pie -Wl,--sep-code -Wl,--code-in-l1 -Wl,-z,now  -Wl,--sep-code -Wl,--code-in-l1 -Wl,-z,now

The code links properly and executes.

Is this the correct way if i want to put both application code and library code in L1 ?

How do i verify that the library code(not application code)  is in L1 instruction SRAM ?

I am using gcc 4.1.2 version toolchain. and building the code for BF527.

Thanks,

Vasanth

Vasanth,

What is your toolchain version? 2008R1.5? Please list the whole command you invoke gcc, e.g  "bfin-linux-uclibc-gcc ....".

Hi Yi,

            Previously i was using 2008R1.But i tried with 2008R1.5 also. Gives me the same linker warning.

The command line is

bfin-linux-uclibc-g++ -o MyTest test.o test1.o  -Wl,--sep-code -Wl,--code-in-l1 -Wl,-z,now -L/opt/uClinux/bfin-linux-uclibc/bfin-linux-uclibc/runtime/usr/lib  -lm -lbffastfp

Regards,

Vasanth

how exactly did you compile test.o/test1.o ?

Hi Mike,

I  used

bfin-linux-uclibc-g++ -c -O2 -Wall -save-temps -mfast-fp -ffast-math -fno-jump-tables test.c

for compiling.
