  I got rid of ASM code in entry.S but can't convert entry.S to entry.c. Missing GCC flags ?
Quote
ld: error: stubs.o uses hardware FP, whereas AUTOEXEC.arm.elf uses software FP
ld: failed to merge target specific data of file stubs.o
Here is the source code:
http://hostr.co/QaDx9TNOxlTi

yeah, sounds like a toolchain problems...
try adding these to CFLAGS
-mfpu=fpa
-msoft-float
-mfloat-abi=soft

and see if it's working...

you can try to put an entry.S with similar code:
Code: [Select]
      .text
      .org 0
      .globl _start, start
  start:
  _start:
LDR     PC, =my_romStart
only this code ... and see if the linker will give errors again...

it's very strange that after removing the entry object file (entry.o) from the linker, it gives strange FPU related errors...


EDIT:
dont forget to "make clean" before compiling ... you can even check if all .o files are removed and remove them just in case (rm *.o)

    When I have entry.S and ASM code in it, it compiles with no problem.
Code: [Select]
    .text
    .org 0
    .globl _start, start

start:
_start:
BL      EnableHacks
.align 2
fin:But it will not compile if I change file to entry.c and put C code in it:
Code: [Select]
void start()
{  EnableHacks();
}
I had -msoft-float enabled.
Other two, -mfpu=fpa and -mfloat-abi=soft, gives me errors.

I tried to compile it using the "Makefile" and "link.script" files from 400plus (just copied the latest files from our repository), and it compiles with no alarming warnings; but when I tried it on the camera, the blue LED switches on and then the camera locks...

EDIT: Pardon my ignorance, but there was some code in entry.S that I do not see anywhere, now; where have you moved that? or was it unnecessary? Thanks!

  This source code will compile with no problems and works on my camera.

It was a problem when I was renaming entry.S to entry.c. I think "entry.S" and "_start:" are keywords in ASM for program entry point. So it can't be changed.
  All that code in "entry.S" we used to have is gone. "entry.S" now just executes EnableHacks(), which executes cache-hacks, relocates AUTOEXEC in RAM and jumps to original firmware.

Probably you forgot to call COPY() in the C code, after removing the entry.S ?

entry.S is not a special file and _start is not special word. The _start is by default, since you have not specified another name.
I tried to compile our code w/o entry.S and it compiles.

You should try to change your link.script and LDFLAGS line (or the linking line) in makefile too...

change your linking line in makefile which is now:
Code: [Select]
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -Wl,-T,link.script -o$@ $^
to look like this:
Code: [Select]
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -Wl,-T,link.script -e EnableHacks -o$@ $^

you can remove this line from makefile too:
Code: [Select]
entry.o:entry.S

and change your link.script...
remove the entry.o from the file, and put init.o in the first place (where entry.o was)


you should be able to compile it without the entry.S at all...

I renamed COPY() to RelocateAutoexec().
Eduperez, can you compile my code with original "Makefile" and "link.script" files? Does it works?

It compiles without entry.S and with "$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -Wl,-T,link.script -e EnableHacks -o$@ $^" but camera will not execute it.
I think I get errors like "ld: error: stubs.o uses hardware FP, whereas AUTOEXEC.arm.elf uses software FP" only when I put any C code in front of ASM code (stubs.S). So I will leave entry.S for entry point.

No, it doesn't; I just get the same errors as you.

About the entry point: AFAIK, after the camera loads our AUTOEXEC.BIN file into memory, it jumps into a fixed address inside that file; so whatever the entry point is called, it must be in a fixed address inside the AUTOEXEC.BIN file. Before the cache-hack stuff, we achieved this by putting the entry function at the beginning of the entry.S file, and putting entry.o at the beginning of the link.script. Do you know whether the "-e" parameter works like this?

good point, im not sure -e parameter will relocate some routine to our address ... it probably wont... but i will try to objdumping something to see what goes where ...
we now need a way to instruct the linker that our new C entry routine needs to be placed at our starting address and it will work without the entry.S

My only interest to get rid of entry.S was to eliminate all traces of any code that could be suspicious of being remotely derived from code written by others... if you know what I mean. Sergei did most of that job, when he applied the cache hack; but there were some lines in the entry.S file, that I did not know where had originated, and thus my question.

Obviously, an ASM file with a single jump is perfectly fine with respect to my concerns; not as clean as having some "main" function in a C file, but completely safe. Once we have reached this point, I would not spend much time on the issue.
