[Buildroot] illegal instruction on AT91

[Buildroot] illegal instruction on AT91

[Chris Sharman]

Hi all,

I have been using an older svn of buildroot for around 6 months with an
AT91SAM9260 based custom board.

I am now trying to bring everything up to the latest svn.

I can build a rootfs and kernel no problem, everything boots fine. Then
some apps throw an Illegal Instruction and crash. Namely curl and
sometimes sqlite.

I have NWFPE enabled in the kernel. I've tried rebuilding everything (by
doing rm *build* in buildroot). I've tried selecting generic_arm instead
of arm926t, I've tried using gcc 4.1.2 which is the same version as I
used on my old buildroot revision and also gcc 4.2.4. I tried booting an
older kernel (from a working system) and I got the same results every
time. I'm using kernel 2.6.25 with at91 patches.

I tried comparing the uclibc config from my old buildroot (using 0.9.29
in both) there were only two differences, SUSV3 macros and USE_BX. I
enabled these the same as my old buildroot and I still get the illegal
instruction with curl.

does anyone have any suggestions?


Regards
Chris

I have now tried checking out a clean tree from svn and building the
at91sam9260pf_defconfig after disabling most packages and adding curl.

I hacked the machine type so the kernel would boot, my board is based
off the at91sam9260ek. It does the same thing, boots perfect. Illegal
instruction with curl.

Does anyone have a know working buildroot configuration for a
AT91SAM9260 processor.

I will get out the actual AT91SAM9260EK dev board tomorrow and see if
the same thing happens.

I copied the curl binaries from my old known working buildroot into my
new buildroot rootfs. These binaries function fine.

Does this mean something is wrong with gcc?

It seems buildroot toolchain generates incorrect binaries, try to use external toolchain.
