<div>> I follow the instructions which Pavel Pisa posted online.</div>
<div>> https://lists.rtems.org/pipermail/devel/2016-July/015683.html</div>
<div>> But, when I go to the "prelink generation" step, which is</div>
<div>> "arm-rtems4.11-gcc ${CFLAGS1} -Wl,--gc-sections init.o rootfs_tarfile.o -lm</div>
<div>> -o appdl.prelink", some error came up, #/.../ld: failed to merge target</div>
<div>> specific data of file init.o</div>
<div> </div>
<div>You should post the messages before this final error.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I expect that your problem is that object file generated by</div>
<div>objdump has incompatible ARM ABI compiled in (even that there</div>
<div>is in the fact no code in binary data)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>You can try to skip check in the final link by adding</div>
<div> </div>
<div> -Wl,--accept-unknown-input-arch</div>
<div> </div>
<div>to GCC command line or </div>
<div> </div>
<div> --accept-unknown-input-arch</div>
<div> </div>
<div>if bare LD is used.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My sequence is</div>
<div> </div>
<div> arm-rtems4.12-ld -r --accept-unknown-input-arch -b binary -o rootfs_tarfile.o.tmp rootfs_tarfile</div>
<div> arm-rtems4.12-objcopy --rename-section .data=.rodata,alloc,load,readonly,data,contents rootfs_tarfile.o.tmp rootfs_tarfile.o</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Do you use the output of the second step for final linking. The first step of binary</div>
<div>to object conversion (rootfs_tarfile.o.tmp) is holds default architecture</div>
<div>variant flags which is incompatible with most other ARM targets.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The second step with objcopy removes these sections.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you use bigendian ARM target then default is little endian</div>
<div>and this cannot be merged at all. The arm-rtems4.12-ld -r requires</div>
<div>to add "-EB" option. I oversside that in OMK hackish way for now</div>
<div>and need to solve that better</div>
<div> </div>
<div>$(2).o: $(2)</div>
<div> @$(QUIET_CMD_ECHO) " TARFILE $$@"</div>
<div>- $(Q) $(LD) -r --accept-unknown-input-arch -b binary -o $$@.tmp $$^</div>
<div>+ $(Q) $(LD) -EB -r --accept-unknown-input-arch -b binary -o $$@.tmp $$^</div>
<div> $(Q) $(OBJCOPY) --rename-section .data=.rodata,alloc,load,readonly,data,contents $$@.tmp $$@</div>
<div> </div>

<div>></div>
<div>> And he did not use rtems-ld to generate any file, so I got a little</div>
<div>> confused. Any idea?</div>
<div>></div>
<div>> Later, I also tried to use rtems-ld to link init.o and rootfs_tarfile.o,</div>
<div>> and it said: #resolver:resolving: undefines, unresolved: 1</div>
<div>> #resolver:resolve: |- rtems</div>
<div>> #error: undefines: symbol not found: rtems</div>
<div>> Here, I just want to know what '-b' the base kernel is, an object file</div>
<div>> (after compile before link), or an .exe (after statically link)? Thanks.</div>

<div>> The RTL provides a run-time link editor which allows you to load code</div>
<div>> with-in your running application. Libdl is the link editor. It is you or</div>
<div>> your code that tells it what to do.</div>

<div>> > In</div>

<div>></div>
<div>> The Init task is your 'main' so this is your code. You are free to</div>
<div>> structure how you manage this just like any other part of your application.</div>

<div>></div>
<div>> For an engineering development environment I would enable networking</div>
<div>> using libbsd and then NFS mount an exported disk from a host on the</div>
<div>> network. I would place the ELF object files where you can see them from</div>
<div>> the Zedboard and then use the RTL command to load the code.</div>
