Hello,

I’m getting started with an AT91RM9200 development kit from atmel and am having trouble starting a simple application with UBoot. If I compile my application into 32bit arm code only, I can successfully load and run some simple startup code through the ‘loadb’ and ‘go’ commands that UBoot offers.

I have two files: startup.s and main.c. “startup.s” does nothing more than set up some vector branches, initializes a stack, and jumps to main. All main does is drive a user led on the development board. As I said, compiling this in 32 bit arm seems to work fine when I load to 0x2000 0000. If I try to compile the main.c source code in thumb mode, then the ‘bx’ branch to main fails and the code does not run. The code preceding the branch is:

…

 ldr r0, =main

 mov r13, pc

 bx r0

I was wondering if there was some initializations made by UBoot that would prevent it from loading thumb code. Any help/ideas would be especially useful. Thanks.
