* Move examples/ to examples/standalonePeter Tyser2009-07-21-61/+0
| | | | | | | The current files in examples are all standalone application examples, so put them in their own subdirectory for organizational purposes Signed-off-by: Peter Tyser <ptyser@xes-inc.com>
* Fix all linker script to handle all rodata sectionsTrent Piepho2009-03-20-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A recent gcc added a new unaligned rodata section called '.rodata.str1.1', which needs to be added the the linker script. Instead of just adding this one section, we use a wildcard ".rodata*" to get all rodata linker section gcc has now and might add in the future. However, '*(.rodata*)' by itself will result in sub-optimal section ordering. The sections will be sorted by object file, which causes extra padding between the unaligned rodata.str.1.1 of one object file and the aligned rodata of the next object file. This is easy to fix by using the SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT command. This patch has not be tested one most of the boards modified. Some boards have a linker script that looks something like this: *(.text) . = ALIGN(16); *(.rodata) *(.rodata.str1.4) *(.eh_frame) I change this to: *(.text) . = ALIGN(16); *(.eh_frame) *(SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT(SORT_BY_NAME(.rodata*))) This means the start of rodata will no longer be 16 bytes aligned. However, the boundary between text and rodata/eh_frame is still aligned to 16 bytes, which is what I think the real purpose of the ALIGN call is. Signed-off-by: Trent Piepho <xyzzy@speakeasy.org>
* Fix linker scripts: add NOLOAD atribute to .bss/.sbss sectionsWolfgang Denk2008-01-12-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With recent toolchain versions, some boards would not build because or errors like this one (here for ocotea board when building with ELDK 4.2 beta): ppc_4xx-ld: section .bootpg [fffff000 -> fffff23b] overlaps section .bss [fffee900 -> fffff8ab] For many boards, the .bss section is big enough that it wraps around at the end of the address space (0xFFFFFFFF), so the problem will not be visible unless you use a 64 bit tool chain for development. On some boards however, changes to the code size (due to different optimizations) we bail out with section overlaps like above. The fix is to add the NOLOAD attribute to the .bss and .sbss sections, telling the linker that .bss does not consume any space in the image. Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de>

* * Patch by Scott McNutt, 04 Oct 2003:wdenk2003-10-08-0/+61
- add support for Altera Nios-32 CPU - add support for Nios Cyclone Development Kit (DK-1C20) * Patch by Steven Scholz, 29 Sep 2003: - A second parameter for bootm overwrites the load address for "Standalone Application" images. - bootm sets environment variable "filesize" to the resulting (uncompressed) data length for "Standalone Application" images when autostart is set to "no". Now you can do something like if bootm $fpgadata $some_free_ram ; then fpga load 0 $some_free_ram $filesize fi * Patch by Denis Peter, 25 Sept 2003: add support for the MIP405 Rev. C board
