Hi
My GCC is 4.4.1 and target is PowerPC. ld-version is 2.19.1. Same problem
causes with GCC-version 2.95.3.
First of all. I am trying to put these functions to specified section in rom
(.defined_section). Then in linker script I put/map these functions to ram
memory like this.
MEMORY
{
.
.
.
defined_section: org = 0x10000, len = 0xFFFF
section_in_rom: org = 0x4F0000, len = 0xFFFF
}
SECTION
{
.
.
.
.section_in_rom : AT (0x10000)
{
*(.defined_section)
} > section_in_rom
}
In program I copy these functions from rom to ram.
Eveything of these works fine, but if I add for example one static variable
in function or string parameter (like in example) I get these "causes
section type error".
