Dear Albert ARIBAUD,
CS toolchain emits lots of warnings about type-punned pointer dereferencing, though none in nand code, and I think these are not related to our issue.
Same with gcc 4.3.5
I will now analyze the patch code to see if it contains relocations that should have applied but did not, or if it misses relocations altogether. My currently favored bet right now is that BSS may have gotten its own relocation table in later toolchains, but that's only a bet.
u-boot.bin is 257KiB with 4.2.4 but only 251KiB with 4.3.5 ! Either its much better optimised or the relocation info shrunk which _might_ indicate something is missing in it...
From what I see, the code generator emits "denser" code, which *could* result in a smaller relocation table, but that depends if the denser code does uses less literals (they're what makes the size of relocation tables). So I have to dive into some sample functions and see for myself; the fact that the linker obviously reorders code within .text does not help me much. :/
Compiled with 4.3.5 last output is the "DRAM: 64 MiB" message. Then silence.
I suppose you don't need u-boot.elf from me, if otherwise, ping me:)
I'm ok now that I have a non-working toolchain to play with. :)
Best Regards, Reinhard
Amicalement,
