the parameter you passed in section start looks weird, given that your physical memory so limited. (8K and 128K, 2 different bank? if so then only one is available at any one time?),
Perhaps some knowledge about linker-script should help:
the "1:1" mapping is called identity mapping, and linker script provide a way for you to load the binary into specific part of the physical memory,

Hi
I'm working on an ARM926EJS based SOM (OMAPL138). The ARM has internal memory spaces (8k one and 128k one) where i would like to put some code.
I thought to use something like :
void foobar (void) __attribute__ ((section ("bar")));
Then link with
-Wl,--section-start,bar=FFFF1000
But the Linux loader fails to load this segment.
So, is it worth to try to achieve to run code at desired position ?
Is there any way to tell Linux to 1:1 map some physical regions to processes address space ? Perhaps the memmap= kernel parameter ?
Thanks for your help.
Paul.
