[PPCBoot-users] linking problem

[<jo...@ma...>]

Hi

I have a custom MPC823e board called V37, which I have got ppcboot-1.1.5
working on.
I use the ELDK tools and I can load a linux kernel and everything works
fine.

Now I want to move to ppcboot-2.0.0.  I copied my boards directory to the
right
place and modified things to be ppcboot-2.0.0 style, but I am stuck with a
linking
error when doing the final linking of ppcboot and I can't figure out what
the problem is.

Here is what happens at the end of the make:

ppc_8xx-ld -Bstatic -T
/home/jonb/projects/ppcboot-2.0.0/board/v37/ppcboot.lds -Ttext 0x40000000
cpu/mpc8xx/start.o board/v37/libv37.a cpu/mpc8xx/libmpc8xx.a
lib_ppc/libppc.a fs/jffs2/libjffs2.a net/libnet.a disk/libdisk.a
rtc/librtc.a dtt/libdtt.a drivers/libdrivers.a post/libpost.a
post/cpu/libcpu.a common/libcommon.a lib_generic/libgeneric.a
board/v37/libv37.a cpu/mpc8xx/libmpc8xx.a lib_ppc/libppc.a
fs/jffs2/libjffs2.a net/libnet.a disk/libdisk.a rtc/librtc.a dtt/libdtt.a
drivers/libdrivers.a post/libpost.a post/cpu/libcpu.a common/libcommon.a
lib_generic/libgeneric.a -Map ppcboot.map -o ppcboot
/home/jonb/projects/ppcboot-2.0.0/board/v37/ppcboot.lds:132 invalid
assignment to location counter
make: *** [ppcboot] Error 1


Line 132 is the last line of ppcboot.lds.
I copied a lot of stuff from the TQM8xx board code, including the
ppcboot.lds file.

Can anyone give me a hint ?


PS.
I want to send a patch for this board to get it into the source tree, but
now development has moved to u-boot.
But there is no released tar.bz2 file for u-boot yet.  Should I send in a
patch for ppcboot-2.0.0 or what ?
