Hi Peter,
unfortunately i don't have any of such 548x boards, so cannot help that much, but if you can manage to have it working, it will be great.
Considering 548x is with mmu, mcf5441x startup code may be helpful, even if it's isa_C (your is isa_B).
mcf5441x is tested here, and it is actually doing an elf32 relocation, as you can see in start.S "fixloop". It is done after the "copy to ram".
I would proceed with small steps, setting some debug output (or gpio output) to see where the startup code fails.
Check also the makefile options in arch/m68k/cpu/Makefile, see the -fPIC.
I follow the thread.
Thanks, regards, angelo

It's not solved yet. I forgot I had hard coded some items.
I will give the flavors you suggest a try.
I'm trying to add the MCF548x for a legacy board we have. It's near EOL, but we want to leverage uBoot from some in house work.
Thanks, Pete

Hi Peter,
glad to hear you solved.
As a toolchain i use those provided by kernel.org:
/opt/toolchains/m68k/gcc-12.2.0-nolibc/m68k-linux/bin/m68k-linux-
https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/
Just out of curiosity, what's the cpu model you used ?

Scratch that. I forgot I hard coded the vector table with 0x400 to test things. Restoring _start still results in 0x00000000 for the reset vector.

I should mention I was using the gcc-m68k-linux-gnu package on Ubuntu 22.04.4, which pulled in gcc-11-m68k-linux-gnu.
I just downloaded the bootlin m68k-coldfire--uclibc--stable-2024.02-1, and tried that. It generates the proper value in the vector table (0x400 for _start). But the call to memset is still bad:

Note "bsrl 23c0c" which points beyond _etext.

After some digging it appears that this is a toolchain issue. It seems the linker fixups are sometimes not computed correctly. For example, in board_init_f_init_reserve, the object file disassembled has:
00000000 <board_init_f_init_reserve>: 0: 2f02 movel %d2,%sp@- 2: 242f 0008 movel %sp@(8),%d2 6: 4878 00c0 pea c0 <board_init_f_init_reserve+0xc0> a: 42a7 clrl %sp@- c: 2f02 movel %d2,%sp@- e: 61ff 0000 0000 bsrl 10 <board_init_f_init_reserve+0x10> 14: 2f02 movel %d2,%sp@- 16: 61ff 0000 0000 bsrl 18 <board_init_f_init_reserve+0x18> 1c: 0682 0000 00c0 addil #192,%d2 22: 4fef 0010 lea %sp@(16),%sp 26: 2047 moveal %d7,%a0 28: 2142 00a0 movel %d2,%a0@(160) 2c: 241f movel %sp@+,%d2 2e: 4e75 rts
But when I disassemble the final linked u-boot output:
0000f646 <board_init_f_init_reserve>: f646: 2f02 movel %d2,%sp@- f648: 242f 0008 movel %sp@(8),%d2 f64c: 4878 00c0 pea c0 <_vectors+0xc0> f650: 42a7 clrl %sp@- f652: 2f02 movel %d2,%sp@- f654: 61ff 0001 44da bsrl 23b30 <_etext+0x138> f65a: 2f02 movel %d2,%sp@- f65c: 61ff ffff ffd2 bsrl f630 <arch_setup_gd> f662: 0682 0000 00c0 addil #192,%d2 f668: 4fef 0010 lea %sp@(16),%sp f66c: 2047 moveal %d7,%a0 f66e: 2142 00a0 movel %d2,%a0@(160) f672: 241f movel %sp@+,%d2 f674: 4e75 rts
Note the pea c0 instruction. The object file has board_init_f_init_reserve+0xc0 as the argument, but the final linker has 0xc0, meaning board_init_f_init_reserve is being set to 0 after linking.
Also, note the first bsrl instruction, which is not setup correctly either. This is a call to memset. This points to _etext+0x138, which is not a code region Note that 0x239f8 + 0x138 = 0x23b30. But in the final uboot, memset is at 0x1f030.
In the call to memset(), objdump shows the relocation:
RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [.text.board_init_f_init_reserve]: OFFSET TYPE VALUE 00000010 R_68K_PLT32 memset 00000018 R_68K_PLT32 arch_setup_gd
So it seems only when linking outside the same compilation unit that the relocations aren't set correctly.
I'm not sure where to look for a solution. Or how to search for an answer. I've done some digging on Google, but nothing points to a clear answer. Anyone seen something similar?
