thank you, I already understood this. As far as I can see there is already some GOT handling in cpu/mcf532x/start.S and the flags (-fPIC) in cpu/mcf532x/config.mk (and other coldfire ports, but MCF532x/MCF537x is what I am currently working on for testing), but somehow it does not work. However, it takes some time for me to understand the assembler code, especially the powerpc counterpart I am using as a reference. There is a __got_start and __got_end in my u-boot.map, so I would think the linker does behave correctly - but I did not yet check if all the symbols (better: symbols' addresses) expected to be there are really present: .reloc 0x00024600 0x1990 0x00024600 __got_start = . *(.got) .got 0x00024600 0x1990 cpu/mcf532x/cpu_init.o 0x00025f90 __got_end = . 0x00025f90 _GOT2_TABLE_ = . *(.got2) 0x00025f90 _FIXUP_TABLE_ = . *(.fixup) 0x00000000 __got2_entries = ((_FIXUP_TABLE_ - _GOT2_TABLE_) >> 0x2) 0x00000000 __fixup_entries = ((. - _FIXUP_TABLE_) >> 0x2) (flash resides at 0x0, SDRAM at 0x4000000 and CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE is 0x40020000) Regards, Wolfgang _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
