Hi all,
I'm trying to port U-Boot 1.0.0 to a new board containing a MIPS 5Kf core. After adjusting the compiler flags / linker scripts for little-endian, I run into these errors, compiling a RAM based version first:
mipsel-uclibc-gcc -Wa,-gstabs -D__ASSEMBLY__ -g -Os -D__KERNEL__ -DTEXT_BASE=0x80100000 -I/opt/work/fw/bootloader/u-boot-1.0.0.work/include -fno-builtin -ffreestanding -nostdinc -isystem /opt/toolchains/toolchain_mipsel/lib/gcc-lib/mipsel-linux/3.3.1/include -pipe -DCONFIG_MIPS -D__MIPS__ -mips2 -EL -mabicalls -c -o start.o /opt/work/fw/bootloader/u-boot-1.0.0.work/cpu/mips/start.S mipsel-uclibc-gcc: unrecognized option `-EL' /opt/work/fw/bootloader/u-boot-1.0.0.work/cpu/mips/start.S: Assembler messages: /opt/work/fw/bootloader/u-boot-1.0.0.work/cpu/mips/start.S:242: Error: Cannot branch to undefined symbol. /opt/work/fw/bootloader/u-boot-1.0.0.work/cpu/mips/start.S:247: Error: Cannot branch to undefined symbol. /opt/work/fw/bootloader/u-boot-1.0.0.work/cpu/mips/start.S:259: Error: Cannot branch to undefined symbol.
cross gcc version is 3.3.1, gas "2.1.4.90.0.5 20030722".
I couldn't find any hints on recommended tools for the MIPS port of U-Boot in the docs.
Is my setup doomed to fail or may I get a working bootloader with some reasonable effort? (I may stick to my old bootloader as well)
TIA.
