Hi Chris

Thanks again for your help. EABI seems to work fine so far. But I've run in another problem with the codesourcery toolchain, might be cortex specific though. I have a working RedBoot, but it crashes in a few places, because code is compiled wrong. Here are the warning from the linker:

/home/simon/ecos/tools/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/4.2.3/../../../../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld: /home/simon/ecos/build/stm32_redboot_install/lib/extras.o: access beyond end of merged section (-32599) /home/simon/ecos/tools/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/4.2.3/../../../../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld: /home/simon/ecos/build/stm32_redboot_install/lib/extras.o: access beyond end of merged section (-32603) /home/simon/ecos/tools/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/4.2.3/../../../../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld: /home/simon/ecos/build/stm32_redboot_install/lib/extras.o: access beyond end of merged section (-32603) /home/simon/ecos/tools/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/4.2.3/../../../../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld: /home/simon/ecos/build/stm32_redboot_install/lib/extras.o: access beyond end of merged section (-32599) /home/simon/ecos/tools/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/4.2.3/../../../../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld: /home/simon/ecos/build/stm32_redboot_install/lib/extras.o: access beyond end of merged section (-16335) /home/simon/ecos/tools/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/4.2.3/../../../../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld: /home/simon/ecos/build/stm32_redboot_install/lib/extras.o: access beyond end of merged section (-16335) /home/simon/ecos/tools/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/4.2.3/../../../../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld: /home/simon/ecos/build/stm32_redboot_install/lib/extras.o: access beyond end of merged section (-16303) /home/simon/ecos/tools/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/4.2.3/../../../../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld: /home/simon/ecos/build/stm32_redboot_install/lib/extras.o: access beyond end of merged section (-16303) /home/simon/ecos/tools/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/4.2.3/../../../../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld: /home/simon/ecos/build/stm32_redboot_install/lib/extras.o: access beyond end of merged section (-16295) /home/simon/ecos/tools/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/4.2.3/../../../../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld: /home/simon/ecos/build/stm32_redboot_install/lib/extras.o: access beyond end of merged section (-16295) /home/simon/ecos/tools/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/4.2.3/../../../../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld: /home/simon/ecos/build/stm32_redboot_install/lib/extras.o: access beyond end of merged section (-16263) /home/simon/ecos/tools/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/4.2.3/../../../../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld: /home/simon/ecos/build/stm32_redboot_install/lib/extras.o: access beyond end of merged section (-16263)

One problem is the fis_usage() function:

fis_usage(char *why)
{
   diag_printf("*** invalid 'fis' command: %s\n", why);
   cmd_usage(__FIS_cmds_TAB__, &__FIS_cmds_TAB_END__, "fis ");
}

The pointer resolution of the string literal ("*** invalid ...") is going wrong (r0 holds a wrong address), so diag_printf() corrupts memory and the whole system crashes. If I replace the function with a marco, the code works properly and I get a few less "access beyond" warnings. There must be other places where things go wrong.

Any ideas here?

I attach my current linker script, as I suppose the mistake could be there.

Best regards,
Simon
