I think the code exist in libgcc __eabi_convert() but code already exist in u-boot at least in several start.S files. > I *think* the only thing missing is a simple function to scan the > .fixup table and fix the pointers after relocation. The code should be there find . -name "*.S" | xargs grep FIXUP_TABLE ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ U-Boot-Users mailing list U-Boot-Users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/u-boot-users
