Dynamic load real-time tasks

[Павел Жданов]

Hello everyone.

I'm interested in dynamic loading and have the following situation:

   1. There are two files init.c and dl.c.
   2. dl.с defines rtems_main function . This function just print some
   string using printf fuction. It complied to dl.o but not linked against
   standard libraries so printf symbol is unresolved.
   3. I want to load dl.o from init.с and use rtems_main function (with
   dl_open and so on). Final init.exe is linked against standard libraries so
   it has printf symbol resolved.
   4. dl.o is loaded from the dos partition.
   5. At the moment a can load dl.o and call rtems_main only if it doesn't
   use printf or functions from other libraries.

My questions are:

   1. Is this scenario possible?
   2. How to link dl.o with init.exe to resolve printf (and may be other
   functions that are used by rtems_main and resolved in init.exe)?

Platfrom: i386, pc486. I tried to use rtems-ld and i386-rtems4.11-ld but
could not resolve necessary symbols.

Best regards,
Pavel Zhdanov.
