armsrc and bootrom compilation problem

Hi folks,

I get the following error when trying to compile the armsrc.

obj/start.o: file not recognized: File format not recognized
make: *** [obj/fullimage.elf] Error 1

Here's the dump from the console:

perl ../tools/mkversion.pl .. > version.c || copy ../common/default_version.c version.c
arm-elf-gcc -c -I../include -Wall -O6 -mthumb -mthumb-interwork -o obj/version.o version.c
arm-elf-ld -g -Tldscript -Map=obj/fullimage.map -o obj/fullimage.elf obj/version.o obj/fpga.o obj/start.o obj/appmain.o obj/lfops.o obj/iso15693.o obj/util.o obj/hitag2.o obj/usb.o obj/iso14443.o obj/iso14443a.o obj/fpgaloader.o ../../devkitARM/lib/gcc/arm-elf/4.1.0/interwork/libgcc.a
obj/start.o: file not recognized: File format not recognized
make: *** [obj/fullimage.elf] Error 1

A similar error shows up when compiling the bootrom.

obj/ram-reset.o: file not recognized: File format not recognized
make: *** [obj/bootrom.elf] Error 1

I am running Vista, and am working on the 20090905 svn release.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Re: armsrc and bootrom compilation problem

I did a 'make clean' before the 'make' and it worked. Seems some object files are environment-dependent or something...

Re: armsrc and bootrom compilation problem

Guys, am now getting another error message. It says:

arm-elf-gcc -c -I../include -Wall -O6 -mthumb -mthumb-interwork -o obj/appmain.o appmain.c
appmain.c:9:20: error: stdlib.h: No such file or directory
appmain.c: In function 'ListenReaderField':
appmain.c:463: warning: implicit declaration of function 'abs'
make: *** [obj/appmain.o] Error 1

Seems the compiler cannot grab the header files! I wonder why is this happening? Have anybody successfully did it on Vista? I feel like it's a problem with the used version of the arm toolchain, since I had to add some more paths to the environment variables for the compiler to work under Vista!

Re: armsrc and bootrom compilation problem

Okay guys, this is weird.. but the problem is resolved after I installed the recent version of GNU ARM (4.3.2).

Here's what I've done in steps:
1. Replace the bundled GNU ARM 4.1.0 with the new GNU ARM 4.3.2.
2. Modify line 37 in common/Make.common to

ARMLIB ?= ../../devkitARM/lib/gcc/arm-elf/4.3.2/interwork

3. Clean and rebuild all.

That surely says it was a problem with the old GNU ARM release under Vista.

Hope that helps anyone going through this :-).
