[linuxsh-dev] sh-ipl working

[Bryan R. <br...@ix...>]

Hello,

I finally got the SH4 gdb stub working properly! (so it would seem
anyway) It turns out there was absolutely nothing wrong with gcc, the
reason I was seeing such odd behavior was due to the way I was linking
the object code output, putting the ROM, RAM, and STACK into the same
64kb SRAM. Apparently the SH4 architecture doesn't like that, so I moved
the RAM segment into the SDRAM as NIIBE suggested and all of the strange
string handling behavior is now gone. So it's just a matter of building
and loading a kernel, and from there a working ramdisk image. Then I'll
have a full linux system running on the embedded SH4...

It took a week and help from about a dozen people, but it's nice to have
everything finally make sense. Thanks to everyone for their help. I'm
going home happy tonight...

Regards,
