Hi there,

I met several compiling errors as below:

make -C cpu/arm920t/at91rm9200/ make[1]: Entering directory `/home/johnson-yn/GEARI/u-boot-2009.06/cpu/arm920t/at91rm9200' arm-linux-gcc: lowlevel_init.o: No such file or directory arm-linux-gcc: unrecognized option `-MQ' arm-linux-gcc: bcm5221.o: No such file or directory arm-linux-gcc: unrecognized option `-MQ' arm-linux-gcc: dm9161.o: No such file or directory arm-linux-gcc: unrecognized option `-MQ' arm-linux-gcc: ether.o: No such file or directory arm-linux-gcc: unrecognized option `-MQ' arm-linux-gcc: i2c.o: No such file or directory arm-linux-gcc: unrecognized option `-MQ' arm-linux-gcc: interrupts.o: No such file or directory arm-linux-gcc: unrecognized option `-MQ' arm-linux-gcc: lxt972.o: No such file or directory arm-linux-gcc: unrecognized option `-MQ' arm-linux-gcc: usb.o: No such file or directory arm-linux-gcc: unrecognized option `-MQ' arm-linux-gcc: spi.o: No such file or directory arm-linux-gcc: unrecognized option `-MQ' make[1]: *** No rule to make target `.depend', needed by `all'.

Is that possibly because of the version of the cross compiler?? and should I raise it to cross 3.2 or higher to solve this problem??

maybe you do not add these files in you makefile because of you have not de= fine useful macros in you .h which is in ./include/config dir.

Hi Johnson Y,

...

I met several compiling errors as below:

make -C cpu/arm920t/at91rm9200/ make[1]: Entering directory `/home/johnson-yn/GEARI/u-boot-2009.06/cpu/arm920t/at91rm9200' arm-linux-gcc: lowlevel_init.o: No such file or directory arm-linux-gcc: unrecognized option `-MQ'

[...]

...

Is that possibly because of the version of the cross compiler?? and should I raise it to cross 3.2 or higher to solve this problem??

The error message is clear - the U-Boot build uses an option which your compiler does not understand. You have two ways of fixing this

1) upgrade your toolchain to a compiler understanding -MQ 2) "downgrade" the U-Boot buildprocess for your toolchain

I advise 1) as 2) invests time into something you will need to abandon sometime anyhow.

Cheers Detlev

Hi Detlev Z,

Thanks for your suggestions, and after I upgraded the toolchain to v3.2, those problems went away.

However, new errors turned up as expected:

1) the invocations of U_BOOT_CMD in several .c files, common/cmd_bootm.c line 923, common/cmd_source.c line 232, common/cmd_ximg.c line 186 terminated the make process for the "unterminated argument list invoking macro "U_BOOT_CMD" ", known as the "parse error". So, I set the last argument of U_BOOT_CMD marco to NULL, and then make went silent.

2) this error came at the linking stage:

"arm-linux-ld:/home/johnson-yn/GEARI/u-boot-2009.06/board/atmel/at91rm9200dk/u-boot.lds:40: parse error make: *** [u-boot] Error 1"

and the line 40 of u-boot.lds is :

.rodata : { *(SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT(SORT_BY_NAME(.rodata*))) }

how should I solve this?

If I just don't need use NAND flash module in u-boot, what are the steps I should take??

Regards,

Johnson Yu

Hi Johnson Yu,

...

Hi Detlev Z,

Thanks for your suggestions, and after I upgraded the toolchain to v3.2, those problems went away.

Why did you upgrade only to 3.2? We are currently using gcc-4.2.2. You are welcome to download ELDK 4.2 for arm[1] and give it a try.

...

However, new errors turned up as expected:

You expected new errors? Uh uh, I was hoping for them to go away ;)

...

the invocations of U_BOOT_CMD in several .c files,

common/cmd_bootm.c line 923, common/cmd_source.c line 232, common/cmd_ximg.c line 186 terminated the make process for the "unterminated argument list invoking macro "U_BOOT_CMD" ", known as the "parse error". So, I set the last argument of U_BOOT_CMD marco to NULL, and then make went silent.

I don't understand this. include/common.h defines U_BOOT_CMD to take 6 parameters. Your example common/cmd_boot.c also provides 6 parameters:

U_BOOT_CMD( bootm, CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS, 1, do_bootm, "boot application image from memory", "[addr [arg ...]]\n - boot application image stored in memory\n" "\tpassing arguments 'arg ...'; when booting a Linux kernel,\n" ...... [more concatenations below this point]

So I count 4 parameters on the first line, 1 parameter on the next and the 6th parameter is the long list of concatenated strings.

Why should you need to add another parameter here?

...

this error came at the linking stage:

"arm-linux-ld:/home/johnson-yn/GEARI/u-boot-2009.06/board/atmel/at91rm9200dk/u-boot.lds:40: parse error make: *** [u-boot] Error 1"

and the line 40 of u-boot.lds is :

.rodata : { *(SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT(SORT_BY_NAME(.rodata*))) }

how should I solve this?

The easiest way would be to upgrade to a _recent_ toolchain (i.e. >4). On the other hand, the line you mention was added in this commit:

http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=commit;h=f62fb99941c625605aa16a0097b396a5...

If you check the commit msg, you get an idea of how you may "unwind" this optimization.

However, why invest time, if a recent toolchain "just works"?

...

If I just don't need use NAND flash module in u-boot, what are the steps I should take??

It should be enough to #undef CONFIG_CMD_NAND in the config file.

Cheers Detlev
