Subject: [ECOS] possible bug in configtool or whatever is generating "target.ld" file
Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2012 03:46:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120926234606.868@web002.roc2.bluetie.com> (raw)

When you link your app, the symptom is you see this when you link your application:

/home/ecos/gnutools/arm-eabi/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-eabi/4.6.2/../../../../arm-eabi/bin/ld:target.ld:17: syntax error
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

It's a bit of a cryptic error because target.ld is not in the path indicated.
It's actually in your your ecos_install/lib directory.
If you open the target.ld file, you'll see this:

==============
...
SECTIONS
{
    .debug_aranges 0 : { *(.debug_aranges) } .debug_pubnames 0 : { *(.debug_pubnames) } .debug_info 0 : { *(.debug_info) } .debug_abbrev 0 : { *(.debug_abbrev) } .debug_line 0 : { *(.debug_line) } .debug_frame 0 : { *(.debug_frame) } .debug_str 0 : { *(.debug_str) } .debug_loc 0 : { *(.debug_loc) } .debug_macinfo 0 : { *(.debug_macinfo) } .note.arm.ident 0 : { KEEP (*(.note.arm.ident)) } /DISCARD/ 0 : { *(.fini_array*) }
    .fixed_vectors 0x20 : { . = .; KEEP (*(.fixed_vectors)) } > sram
    SECTION_sram_code (sram, ALIGN (0x4), )
    .rom_vectors 0x02008000 : { __rom_vectors_vma = ABSOLUTE(.); . = .; KEEP (*(.vectors)) } > ram __rom_vectors_lma = LOADADDR(.rom_vectors);
...
================

The offending line 17 is the one that starts with SECTION_sram_code; delete this line to fix the link error.
That looks like the syntax for the .ldi file instead of the target.ld file.

Anyways, thought I'd mention how to find/fix this so the mailing list search engine can find it.  I found a few cases where other people hit the same quirky linker error and didn't know what to do to fix it...

p.s., I can supply the ecos.ecc file if that would help anyone reproduce/fix the bug...
