Hi, I've generated a cross-compiler for the PowerPC 7448 using the following tools: Binutils 2.19.1 (2/09) GCC 4.2.4 (5/08) GDB 6.8 (3/08) Newlib 1.17 (12/08) GCC has been configured as follows: ../gcc-4.2.4/configure --disable-nls --prefix=/cygdrive/c/cross_compiler/7448_Dec08_tools/CSE --target=powerpc-eabialtivec --enable-languages=c When I try to run the assembler on a file with Altivec instructions (e.g., lvx, stvx), it flags it as an Unrecognized opcode. powerpc-eabialtivec-as -mregnames -I ./Include -I src/ src/BuildInitialTaskStack.s -o o/BuildInitialTaskStack.o src/BuildInitialTaskStack.s: Assembler messages: src/BuildInitialTaskStack.s:369: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `lvx' src/BuildInitialTaskStack.s:371: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `stvx' If I run the assembler with the -m7450 option, the file compiles fine. So it seems like Altivec support has not been built into the assembler. I tried rebuilding the cross-compiler by configuring gcc with the --with-cpu=7450 option, but it still doesn't work. Any thoughts? Thanks, Dave *************************** Dave Reiter Staff Software Engineer M/S 120-6 Hamilton Sundstrand 4747 Harrison Ave. Rockford, IL 61108 W: 815-226-2622 F: 860-353-6082
