[ECOS] Linking Problem i386 target

[ECOS] Linking Problem i386 target

[Christian Plessl]

Hi
When trying to build the test applications I get the following error messages:

/usr/local/pack/ecos/i386-elf-tools/i386-elf/bin/ld: address 0xb88f4 of
/home/cplessl/work/ram-net-dhcp/install/tests/net/tcpip/current/tests/tcp_lo_test
section .bss is not within region ram
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

The problem only shows up, when I have ECOS configured with network 
support. Maybe the increased kernel size of this configuration could be the 
cause for this error?!

Anybody noticed this before? Any solutions?

Chris

Yes, it is because of the size of the kernel.  You need to modify the
memory layout so that the image can fit.  With the windows tool there is
a nice GUI interface for changing th memory layout.  For Linux I think
you have to hand modify some files in
packages/hal/i386/pc/current/include/pkgconf.  I'm not sure if the
*.ldi, *.h, and *.mlt files have to be changed, or maybe just the *.mlt
file for ram.
