Ok. I think we are see two issues interact.
I've just sent a pull request w/the RESET_VECTOR_ADDRESS fix that should address the linker script issue. These seems to build cleanly on all 85xx platforms w/ELDK4.2 for me.
Now if you apply the TQM85xx.h on top of that you will see that the enabling of new features causes the size to increase beyond what is allocated for TQM8540.
Maybe. But this is just another manifestation of the original problem: without commit ec79d33 we didn't need the RESET_VECTOR_ADDRESS stuff at all, and an image size of 256 kB was sufficient without and with the "TQM85xx: enable partition suppor" patch applied.
Now, after commit ec79d33 (which needed to be fixed by the RESET_VECTOR_ADDRESS stuff in the first place), we suddenly need more than 256 kB.
This obviously means that commit ec79d33 introduced changes to the image layout that make it bigger.
I consider this a bug in commit ec79d33. I don't want to waste more space than needed.
I don't agree. If I revert both commits and apply the TQM config.h update I see build failures.
I've posted a 'tqm-test' branch of the mpc85xx tree that does just that. I see the following:

Wolfgang,
Any update on this?
