[Buildroot] UBOOT 2009.08 & ARM Link Error

[Buildroot] UBOOT 2009.08 & ARM Link Error

[Sagaert Johan]

Hi
 
Did anyone succeed in building the UBOOT 2009.08 version for ARM
(at91sam9260_config)?
 
I always end up with this error :

make: *** [u-boot] Error 1

 
The 2009.06 version does not produce this error, so i will be using this one
i guess .
 
I wonder if this is a toolchain issue or a uboot error .
 
If a recent version gets pushed into buildroot, does someone then verifies
it works ?

Is you toolchain using hardware FPU? Can you build 2009.08 manually
outside buildroot?

Ofcourse, but you cannot test all configurations. I mainly work on
powerpc, so that's what I tested before adding it.

As mentioned in the 2009.08 announcement, I'll work on getting buildbot
running, so we can get a bit more test coverage.

So that sounds as if it's a problem with u-boot, and nothing to do with
buildroot.

Perhaps you could ask on the u-boot list if that's a known problem?

Yes unfortunately. Thanks a lot for doing this early testing.

You might be interested in this one:

Yes, I can build 2009.08 in my personal git tree.
git://git.busybox.net/~ulf/git/atmel-2009-08

You need some fixes, which are present there.
While I did not test the SAM9260 as such, this is a generic
problem for ARM, which gets fixed by my patches.

My git tree also contains linux-2.6.30.2 and an updated
at91bootstrap.
Still a lot of testing to be done.
Help appreciated.

Patches are welcome - Are they in upstream u-boot git?

They were proposed and rejected because it is not needed by the ELDK
Embedded Linux Development Kit, provided by Denx.

The decision makers for U-boot, think that everyone should compile using 
ELDK,
and  really do not care if the Buildroot toolchain can build U-Boot or not.

This is an old problem, and if you build older u-boots for AT91
the existing patches will handle the problem

If the buildroot compiler can handle "-msoftfloat" the problem will go away 
by itself.
