Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|REOPENED |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |INVALID --- Comment #16 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> --- You need to compile with -mno-unaligned-access when compiling the firmware. This is mentioned in https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.7/changes.html: On ARM, when compiling for ARMv6 (but not ARMv6-M), ARMv7-A, ARMv7-R, or ARMv7-M, the new option -munaligned-access is active by default, which for some sources generates code that accesses memory on unaligned addresses. This requires the kernel of those systems to enable such accesses (controlled by CP15 register c1, refer to ARM documentation). Alternatively, or for compatibility with kernels where unaligned accesses are not supported, all code has to be compiled with -mno-unaligned-access. Upstream Linux kernel releases have automatically and unconditionally supported unaligned accesses as emitted by GCC due to this option being active since version 2.6.28.
