Hi Steve,
Sorry for my previous email blunder ... obviously I don't post to public
forums often :).
Sorry about going all officious on you over that, but it is important
that people realize that this list is a public forum.
My question (in the clear) is if there is an existing means to perform the
binary to ARM EABI 5 object file conversion or whether this support is just
missing from the current set of utilities?
No. :-(
I’m trying to use the objcopy utility for ARM to convert a binary file into
an object file to be linked into a system build and I’m running into an
issue that I hope someone can help with. The issue is that the resulting
object file is in the ARM EABI 0 format instead of the ARM EABI 5 format
required by the linking process.
There is however an alternative... The assembler .incbin directive. As in:
% cat make-section.s
.section .data
.incbin binary-file
% arm-rtems4.11-as make-section.s -o make-section.o
% arm-rtmes4.11-readelf -h make-section.o
[...]
Flags: 0x5000000, Version5 EABI
[...]
I assumed that you wanted to put the binary file into the .data section,
but obviously you can change that by editting make-section.s.
Cheers
Nick
