[U-Boot-Users] porting new hardware

Dear all
I am trying to port new hardware, but i get a linking error "arm-linux-ld: invalid hex number `-u__u_boot_cmd_autoscr' "
Could anyone give me some ideas on this?
best regard

Which sort of build environment are you using?

Dear Wolfgang
I am using arm-linux toolchain from www.handheld.org arm-linux-3.3.2. It should be ok which i have tried to compile kernel and other appz before. Actually, i am using motorola MXL arm9 CPU, and i just copy files in board/mx1ads/ , include/mx1ads.h and patched the makefile. I do not come up with any idea right now, may be i first look deeper what autoscript first

Well, this error message:
"arm-linux-ld: invalid hex number `-u__u_boot_cmd_autoscr' "
comes from these lines in the top level Makefile:
u-boot: depend $(SUBDIRS) $(OBJS) $(LIBS) $(LDSCRIPT) UNDEF_SYM=`$(OBJDUMP) -x $(LIBS) |sed -n -e 's/.*(__u_boot_cmd_.*)/-u\1/p'|sort|uniq`;\ $(LD) $(LDFLAGS) $$UNDEF_SYM $(OBJS) \ --start-group $(LIBS) $(PLATFORM_LIBS) --end-group \ -Map u-boot.map -o u-boot
Seems either your "objdump" and/or your "sed" create bogus or at least unexpected output. You may want to check the parts of this pipeline step by step.

Dear Wolfgang I have found the problem,.... i do not cp the config.mk from mx1ads folder which define the linking address of u-boot in ram. error come from no text_base value : arm-linux-ld -Bstatic -T board/rob/u-boot.lds -Ttext $UNDEF_SYM after i add the config.mk back: arm-linux-ld -Bstatic -T board/rob/u-boot.lds -Ttext 0x08F00000 $UNDEF_SYM
Thanks for anyone concerned best regard Mike,Lee
