Subject: [U-Boot-Users] Query on Global Offset Table
Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2007 17:05:55 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070731210555.GC3553@GNU> (raw)
Hello,
I had a query regarding the usage of Global Offset Table.I
understand that the GOT is primarily used in dynamically linking
some file to a executable, like dynamic shared libraries.In
u-boot though we compile certain modules as static
libraries,which would be bound to the executable at link time.What
do we use the GOT for in u-boot.My guess is it's something to do
with code relocation to the main memory.Would be helpful if
someone elucidates on this.
