Hi Luis,

After applying my 68000 changes, when targeting the kernel to be
placed on ROM the linker is giving me extra headers (.rodata, __param
and __modver):

The changes to the linker scripts where made to bring the non-mmu
one more into line with the standard mmu one. That means we use
most of the kernels generic linker symbols. (These occasionally
got broken before, since the non-mmu linker scripts was rolling its
own version of quite a few of the section macros).

So it looks like LMA's are wrong now. What config switches do you
have enabled, and what are they set to for the kernel memory layout?

Important ones to look at are:

  CONFIG_RAMBASE
  CONFIG_RAMSIZE
  CONFIG_VECTORBASE
  CONFIG_KERNELBASE
  CONFIG_ROM
  CONFIG_RAMKERNEL
  CONFIG_ROMKERNEL

The CONFIG_ROMKERNEL is particularly important. The linker script
does different things based on that.


With the previous vmlinux-nommu.lds I had:

And my makefile was generating the linux.bin like this:

[...]
        $(CROSS_COMPILE)objcopy -O binary -j .data -j .init.text -j .init.data \
                $(ROOTDIR)/$(LINUXDIR)/linux $(IMAGEDIR)/linux.data

You may need to change this too, with the new linker script:

  $(CROSS_COMPILE)objcopy -O binary \
        -j .rodata \
        -j __param \
        -j __modver \
        -j .data \
        -j .init.text \
        -j .init.data \
        $(ROOTDIR)/$(LINUXDIR)/linux $(IMAGEDIR)/linux.data

Regards
Greg



        $(CROSS_COMPILE)objcopy -O binary -j .text \
                $(ROOTDIR)/$(LINUXDIR)/linux \
                $(IMAGEDIR)/linux.text
        cat $(IMAGEDIR)/linux.text $(IMAGEDIR)/linux.data > 
$(IMAGEDIR)/linuxrom.bin
[...]


I had to replace the new vmlinux-nommu.lds with the previous one to be
able to generate the bin.

How should I modify the objcopy's so that I can use the new vmlinux-nommu.lds ?


Memory layout is like this:
0x0 - 0x7FFFFF: ram (8Mb)
0x800000 - 0xBFFFFF: flash (4Mb)

Kernel being booted at 0x810000 and base ram for linux begining at 0x1000


Thanks,
Luis Alves
