Hello!I'm compiling eCos for the ColdFire MCF5282. When linking all together, the resulting ELF file contains a corrupted interrupt vector table. Excactly the first kilobyte of the ROM interrupt vector table is zeroed - no matter what the code from object or archive files contains.
Linking occurs with help of the attached linker script and linking is invoked as follows:
m68k-elf-gcc -m528x -g -nostdlib -Wl,--gc-sections \
-Wl,-static -L<BUILDPATH>/install/lib -Ttarget.ld \
-o <BUILDPATH>/install/bin/redboot.elf \
<BUILDPATH>/install/lib/version.o
The data for the vector table is provided in an archive named
libtarget.a which is referenced by the linker script. In this archive,
the vector table contains references to relocatable symbols.
When compiling and linking with GCC 3.4.6 I'm getting the expected result with correctly resolved symbols in the interrupt vector table. The situation changes when I'm using one of the following GCC 4 variants:
GCC 4.0.4
GCC 4.1.2
GCC 4.2.4
All ELF files generated by using these versions for linking have the
first kilobyte of the interrupt vector table zeroed. The interrupt
vector table resides in the section ".romvec" at the lowest ROM address.
Any ideas? How to make GCC 4 not to zero the first kilobyte of ROM? Best regards Christian
