Hi, I'm trying to do a simple register read through ARM inline assembly. If I embed the asm in the function directly, it works ... eg: #define BAD 0xBAADBAAD #define GOOD 0x600D600D #define RESET 0x00000000 #define NVIC_ISER0 0xE000E100 volatile int nvic_iser_status = 0xFFFFFFFF; function () { ... asm volatile( "ldr r2, =8 /* number of register */ \n\t" "ldr r1, =%0 /* load the nvic_iser* register */ \n\t" "read_nvic_iser:\n\t" "sub r2, r2, #1\n\t" "ldr r0, [r1]\n\t" "add r1, r1, #4 /* go to the next register */ \n\t" "cmp r0, %1\n\t" "beq read_nvic_iser_ok\n\t" "ldr r3, =%2\n\t" "str r3, [%4] /* update status flag */\n\t" "read_nvic_iser_ok:\n\t" "cmp r2, #0\n\t" "bne read_nvic_iser\n\t" "ldr r3, =%3\n\t" "str r3, [%4] /* update status flag */\n\t" : : "i" (NVIC_ISER0), "i" (RESET), "i" (BAD), "i" (GOOD), "r" (&nvic_iser_status) : "r0", "r1", "r2", "r3" ); .. } But, if I want to call the asm through another function, I get errors .. eg: function (){ ... reg_read(NVIC_ISER0, RESET, nvic_iser_status) .. } reg_read(int addr, int reset, int status){ asm volatile( "ldr r2, =8 /* number of register */ \n\t" "ldr r1, =%0 /* load the nvic_iser* register */ \n\t" "read_reg:\n\t" "sub r2, r2, #1\n\t" "ldr r0, [r1]\n\t" "add r1, r1, #4 /* go to the next register */ \n\t" "cmp r0, %1\n\t" "beq read_reg_ok\n\t" "ldr r3, =%2\n\t" "str r3, [%4] /* update status flag */\n\t" "read_reg_ok:\n\t" "cmp r2, #0\n\t" "bne read_reg\n\t" "ldr r3, =%3\n\t" "str r3, [%4] /* update status flag */\n\t" : : "r" (addr), "r" (reset), "r" (BAD), "r" (GOOD), "r" (status) : "r0", "r1", "r2", "r3" //: ); } I see the following errors: /tmp/ccYu7aUS.ltrans0.ltrans.o: In function `read_reg_ok': ccYu7aUS.ltrans0.o:(.text.check_reset_value.4010+0x60): undefined reference to `r6' ccYu7aUS.ltrans0.o:(.text.check_reset_value.4010+0x64): undefined reference to `r4' ccYu7aUS.ltrans0.o:(.text.check_reset_value.4010+0x68): undefined reference to `r5' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status What am I doing wrong? thanks, Kalai
