Hi All,

im working on an embedded ( with AMD SC520 / i386 ) board every thing comp. nice but i got the following Linker Error for u-Boot.

Anyone Knows this Error and its cause?

UNDEF_SYM=`i386-linux-objdump -x lib_generic/libgeneric.a board/sc520_hopf/libsc520_hopf.a cpu/i386/libi386.a lib_i386/libi386.a fs/cramfs/libcramfs.a fs/fat/libfat.a fs/fdos/libfdos.a fs/jffs2/libjffs2.a net/libnet.a disk/libdisk.a rtc/librtc.a dtt/libdtt.a drivers/libdrivers.a drivers/sk98lin/libsk98lin.a post/libpost.a post/cpu/libcpu.a common/libcommon.a |sed -n -e 's/.*(__u_boot_cmd_.*)/-u\1/p'|sort|uniq`;\ i386-linux-ld -Bstatic -T /Users/rac/dev/hopf/nts/build/u-boot_new/board/sc520_hopf/u-boot.lds -Ttext 0x087c0000 $UNDEF_SYM cpu/i386/start.o cpu/i386/start16.o cpu/i386/reset.o \ --start-group lib_generic/libgeneric.a board/sc520_hopf/libsc520_hopf.a cpu/i386/libi386.a lib_i386/libi386.a fs/cramfs/libcramfs.a fs/fat/libfat.a fs/fdos/libfdos.a fs/jffs2/libjffs2.a net/libnet.a disk/libdisk.a rtc/librtc.a dtt/libdtt.a drivers/libdrivers.a drivers/sk98lin/libsk98lin.a post/libpost.a post/cpu/libcpu.a common/libcommon.a -L /data/nts/toolchain/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/3.3.1 -lgcc --end-group \ -Map u-boot.map -o u-boot i386-linux-ld: section .data [087d5754 -> 087d62c7] overlaps section .rodata.str1.1 [087d5754 -> 087d71a6] i386-linux-ld: section .realmode [087d62c8 -> 087d642d] overlaps section .rodata.str1.1 [087d5754 -> 087d71a6] i386-linux-ld: section .bios [087d642e -> 087d696b] overlaps section .rodata.str1.1 [087d5754 -> 087d71a6] make: *** [u-boot] Error 1

2 Question: in uboot.lds (sc520_cdp board) is the following statement

. = 0x400000; /* Ram data segment to use */ _i386boot_romdata_dest = ABSOLUTE(.); .data : AT ( LOADADDR(.rodata) + SIZEOF(.rodata) ) { *(.data) } _i386boot_romdata_start = LOADADDR(.data);

can anyone tell me what this statement does ? and which adress = 0x400000 this is ?

thanks

Wolfgang Kanovsky
