Hello Wolfgang
Ummm... What shall I say? ELDK for MIPS supports both LE and BE configurations, and both work just fine, except for the fact that the
Thank you for reply.
ELDK user is ok. but with mipsel-linux-gcc, and to comile for little, there is a 2 problem.
1. always add -EB to compiler.
-- cpu/mips/config.mk --- ifneq (,$(findstring 4KCle,$(CROSS_COMPILE))) ENDIANNESS = -EL else ENDIANNESS = -EB endif
this means, to compile for little endian, part of cross compiler name have to has a name of "4KCle". otherwise, it will put -EB.
I think, we do not need to put -EL or -EB, compiler default is enough.
2. examples/mips.lds, board/dbau1x00/u-boot.lds
OUTPUT_FORMAT("elf32-tradbigmips", "elf32-tradbigmips", "elf32-tradbigmips")
this specify bigendian format.
mipsel-linux-ld -g -Ttext 0x80200000 -T mips.lds \ -o hello_world -e hello_world hello_world.o libstubs.a \ -L/usr/src/mldbox/gcc-3.3.x/toolchain_mipsel/bin-ccache/../lib/gcc-lib/mipsel-linux-uclibc/3.3.4 -lgcc mipsel-linux-ld: hello_world.o: compiled for a little endian system and target is big endian mipsel-linux-ld: hello_world.o: endianness incompatible with that of the selected emulation File in wrong format: failed to merge target specific data of file hello_world.omipsel-linux-ld: libstubs.a(stubs.o): compiled for a little endian system and target is big endian mipsel-linux-ld: libstubs.a(stubs.o): endianness incompatible with that of the selected emulation File in wrong format: failed to merge target specific data of file libstubs.a(stubs.o)
To fix these error, I need to change OUTPUT_FORMAT("elf32-tradbigmips", "elf32-tradbigmips", "elf32-tradbigmips") to OUTPUT_FORMAT("elf32-tradlittlemips", "elf32-tradlittlemips", "elf32-tradlittlemips")
or deleteing this line also work. so, if ELDK works, without this line, please delete it.

dbau1x00 port produces warnings because it is broken as it uses a definition of HZ which is not 1000:

IMHO it's clearly a toolchain problem, but who am I to know such things?
