[U-Boot] Compiling the latest u-boot-2009.06 with Cross-2.95, and errors came out

[Johnson Yu]

Hi there,

I met several compiling errors as below:

make -C cpu/arm920t/at91rm9200/

Is that possibly because of the version of the cross compiler?? and

The error message is clear - the U-Boot build uses an option which your
compiler does not understand.  You have two ways of fixing this

1) upgrade your toolchain to a compiler understanding -MQ
2) "downgrade" the U-Boot buildprocess for your toolchain

I advise 1) as 2) invests time into something you will need to abandon
sometime anyhow.

Cheers
  Detlev

[U-Boot] Compiling the latest u-boot-2009.06 with Cross-2.95, and errors came out

[Johnson Yu]

Hi Detlev Z,


Thanks for your suggestions, and after I upgraded the toolchain to v3.2, 
those problems went away.

However, new errors turned up as expected:

1) the invocations of U_BOOT_CMD in several .c files, common/cmd_bootm.c 
line 923, common/cmd_source.c line 232, common/cmd_ximg.c line 186 
terminated the make process for the "unterminated argument list invoking 
macro "U_BOOT_CMD" ", known as the "parse error". So, I set the last 
argument of U_BOOT_CMD marco to NULL, and then make went silent.

2) this error came at the linking stage:

  
"arm-linux-ld:/home/johnson-yn/GEARI/u-boot-2009.06/board/atmel/at91rm9200dk/u-boot.lds:40: 
parse error
make: *** [u-boot] Error 1"

and the line 40 of u-boot.lds is :

 .rodata : { *(SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT(SORT_BY_NAME(.rodata*))) }

how should I solve this?


If I just don't need use NAND flash module in u-boot, what are the steps 
I should take??


Regards,

Johnson Yu

Why did you upgrade only to 3.2?  We are currently using gcc-4.2.2.  You
are welcome to download ELDK 4.2 for arm[1] and give it a try.

You expected new errors?  Uh uh, I was hoping for them to go away ;)

I don't understand this.  include/common.h defines U_BOOT_CMD to take 6
parameters.  Your example common/cmd_boot.c also provides 6 parameters:

U_BOOT_CMD(
        bootm,  CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS,     1,      do_bootm,
        "boot application image from memory",
        "[addr [arg ...]]\n    - boot application image stored in memory\n"
        "\tpassing arguments 'arg ...'; when booting a Linux kernel,\n"
...... [more concatenations below this point]

So I count 4 parameters on the first line, 1 parameter on the next and
the 6th parameter is the long list of concatenated strings.

Why should you need to add another parameter here?

The easiest way would be to upgrade to a _recent_ toolchain (i.e. >4).
On the other hand, the line you mention was added in this commit:

http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=commit;h=f62fb99941c625605aa16a0097b396a5c16d2c88

If you check the commit msg, you get an idea of how you may "unwind"
this optimization.

However, why invest time, if a recent toolchain "just works"?

> If I just don't need use NAND flash module in u-boot, what are the

It should be enough to #undef CONFIG_CMD_NAND in the config file.

Cheers
  Detlev
