RE: [U-Boot-Users] I can not get u-boot working on my ixp425 board.

22 Feb 2004


      Hi,
Thanks, Wolfgang. During my compiling, I got the following link error:
arm-linux-ld: ERROR: /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux/3.2.1/be/libgcc.a(_udivsi3
.o) uses hardware FP, whereas u-boot uses software FP
I am new in this field. Could anybody tell me how to fix that? Or where can I get a arm cross-compiler which support software FP. I once tried to search from google. I got some info but not helpful enough.
Regards

    Then your cross toolchain is misconfigured / inadequate for this job.

    Make sure to use a toolchain that supports soft-float.
