Hello All,
While I'm running u-boot on spear320 board, I'm seeing a crash. The crash happens during the .rel.dyn relocations. While debugging, I found that the .rel.dyn section contains a word with all the bits set (0xFFFFFFFF) and the code is trying to fix-up this location.
The u-boot address range is 0x00700000 - 0x0072E678. The .rel.dyn section starts at 0x0072E678 and extends upto 0x00733CC0.
I checked the entire .rel.dyn section generated for the u-boot and found only one such location. It was supposed to have the address lying in the u-boot address range.
I shall be thankful for any help.
Regards Amit Virdi
Do you build a mainline u-boot, and if so, which commit do you build exactly?
Yes, I built the mainline u-boot - v2011.12. I debugged the problem further and found that it is not "0xFFFFFFFF" written in the original generated .rel.dyn area. The u-boot code was accessing the .bss segment before the relocation was complete. As a result, u-boot was writing 0xFFFFFFFF in the .rel.dyn/.bss area.
I have sent a patchhttp://www.mail-archive.com/u-boot@lists.denx.de/msg77621.htmlon the mailing list, the other day, to fix the problem .
Thanks for your support.
