Which toolchain are you using? It is not because of the toolchain difference. You should understand the problem I mentioned in the other mail. In your tree, CONFIG_SYS_DV_NOR_BOOT_CFG is never defined in arch/arm/lib/vectors.S So, arch/arm/lib/vectors.S in your source tree in always like this: _start: _start: ldr pc, _reset ldr pc, _undefined_instruction ldr pc, _software_interrupt ldr pc, _prefetch_abort ldr pc, _data_abort ldr pc, _not_used ldr pc, _irq ldr pc, _fiq It is true that "_start" symbol appears twice, but both are pointing to the same address. That's why you never see the error message. (I mean, this problem is hidden behind another problem.) You should fix the first problem. http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/352484/ And then, the code should be like follows where CONFIG_SYS_DV_NOR_BOOT_CFG is defined. _start: .word CONFIG_SYS_DV_NOR_BOOT_CFG _start: ldr pc, _reset ldr pc, _undefined_instruction ldr pc, _software_interrupt ldr pc, _prefetch_abort ldr pc, _data_abort ldr pc, _not_used ldr pc, _irq ldr pc, _fiq In this case, two "_start" symbols point the different address. You will see the error message like this: > > arch/arm/lib/vectors.S: Assembler messages: > > arch/arm/lib/vectors.S:54: Error: symbol `_start' is already defined > > make[1]: *** [arch/arm/lib/vectors.o] Error 1 > > make: *** [arch/arm/lib] Error 2 > > Applied to u-boot-arm/master, thanks! No. Please apply http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/352484/ http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/352672/ in this order to keep the commit-description sane.

See my comment on the first patch commit message. Besides, the second patch is a fix of its own accord, regardless to the fact that it was hidden by another bug, so I'll keep it in as-is. (incidentally, patches which do have ordering constraints should be posted as a series.) > Best Regards > Masahiro Yamada Amicalement, -- Albert. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
