hi,
 
 i download(au1xxx-booter-src-1.0-r000007.tar.gz ) an tried to cross compile for MIPS DBAU1200 board, but was nto succesfull. i used to toolchain created using buildroot. the following is the error message i got:

That codebase can _only_ be compiled with AMD's gcc-3.4.3 for cygwin (can be
found on the CD you get with the DB1200 board). It does not work with any
other toolchain, unfortunately (yes, I tried a few, from 3.3.0 to 4.1.2
with binutils from 2.15 to 2.17)

Please disregard the above and try this updated linkscript

builds fine here:

The differences between the mips*-linux targets and other MIPS ELF targets
are fairly small these days, typically stuff like cpp predefines and
similar.  So rewriting the code rarely is hard - unless of course
libraries are involved.

hi ,
 
 using the updated script you sent .but still the error persists. th efollowing are the steps i followed.
 
 1) Untarred the source au1xxx-booter-src-1.0-r000007.tar.gz.
 
 2) Edit the make.rules to inlude the buildroot toolchain and the path to that.
 
 3) configured the package by entering make menuconfig and selecting the following options:
 
 Platform --> DB1200 platform.
 Application --> Au1xxx Autoboot --> AutoBoot (YAMON assist).
 
 4). Edit the applications/booter/booter.ld to include the script you sent.
 
 5). entered make.
 
  Are these steps correct ? or Am i missing something ?
