Instead of using the E7T template, use the SNDS template.  The port for the
Samsung S3C4510x is already done.  The old name for the S3C4510x is
KS32C5100.

33f -> label "33", f stands for forward (to my understanding)
12f -> label "12",

Yes.  Label '12f' refers to a local label "12:" which follows
the instruction that uses it.  A reference like '99b' would 
be to a local label '99:' on a previous instruction.  Local
labels are nice because they can be reused and don't pollute
the namespace.

Possibly.  You need to make sure that all references (like the
address of your FLASH or RAM or whatever) match your actual
hardware.

Looking at the porting guide would be a good idea. See:
  http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/docs-latest/ref/hal-porting-guide.html
Also, it's much better to create a new platform HAL by cloning
rather than trying to just change things around.  That way, you
can contribute your work back and also still be able to keep
up with any public changes.

Quite possibly.  This error indicates that there isn't enough
RAM in your configuration to run (or build) the program.

[ECOS] port to a custom board based on the ARM E7T

[Matt Kober]

Hi.
i'm trying to port Redboot to a custom board based on the Samsung S3C4510x01 
microcontroller. i use the ARM E7T  template as a baseline.
i got a new template recognized by the config tool and the resulting image works on 
the E7T board.

i modified the following files to reflect my new hardware :

in  hal_platform_ints.h i modyfied: HAL_PLATFORM_RESET_ENTRY
in  hal_platform_setup.h   i modyfied basically all of the  .long definition but i don't understand 
     that part           ldr     lr,=33f                                                
                              ldr     r0,=12f  . are 33f and 12f labels ? if yes, where are these defined?  
these labels are not the '12'    '33' are they? i'm confused.

in   plf_io.h   i defined some new data values.
in  e7t_misc  i commented out the cache enable macros

i made some changes to the   mlt_arm_e7t_rom.ldi  / mlt_arm_e7t_ram.ldi   and 
                                                mlt_arm_e7t_rom.h   / mlt_arm_e7t_ram.h  .

do i need to make changes to any other files ? 

i did not modify the SECTION commands in the linker script files.
when i build the image i get 2 warnings concerning the .bss segment :

BFD: src/redboot_ncs.img: warning: allocated section `.bss' not in segment
BFD: /ecos-d/workdir/redboot/test2_install/bin/redboot.img: warning: allocated 
        section `.bss' not in segment

is that why my redboot image doesn't run ?

thanks,
Matt
