Convert the STR71x lib

[per239955_st]

The gcc compiler (or ld actually) complains about the str71xDL.lib when linking.

So I guess that RealView uses some other lib format.

Is it possible to convert the libs, or do I have to recompile them?

Any general info regarding different lib formats are welcome. :)

You do not need to make many changes to rebuild these libs under gcc, we have done this in our free ide which will be available for download at www.anglia.com very soon. As soon as the webmaster uploads the files.

When trying to rebuild the libs under gnuarm's gcc I had

problems with the ''inline'' routines in the header files.

I tried all the options I could find to enable inline routines

but without success. The library builds OK, but then when

I include those headers in my application the linker reports

that multiple instances of those inline routines exist. This

means that the compiler has generated code for the inline

declaration in both the library and the application.

The options that I have tried include:

-Winline - but got no warnings

-O3 'cause inline is not supported below this optim' level

the 71x_conf.h file contains the line

#define inline __inline

and although that did not generate any error I tried

changing that to:

#define inline __inline__

but that did not help and even tried

#define inline __attribute__ ((always_inline)) __inline__

but that still did not help although no errors were generated.

help! :-?

I am waiting in anticipation for the anglia tools, but delivery

seems to be slow. I filled in the form more than a week ago

and e-mailed them a request a week ago but still nothing.

I have changed all the inline declarations to static.

Sorry about the delay for the toolchain, I am waiting the webmaster to upload the files, they have been ready a while.

Yes inline is supported, I originally changed the function declarations to static inline because of compile problems.

I looked into it further and all you have to do is either comment out #define inline __inline in 71xconf.h or change to #define inline __inline__ for gcc.

Just remembered why I changed declarations to static inline - when compiling as a lib you get link problems when linking with the library just produced.

I eventually got the inline thing to compile and link OK,

but have been unable to test the results because my

JTAG device is playing up.

I used

#define inline __inline__ extern

which I got from the following URL

http://www.gnuxtools.com/gcc_docs/Inline.html

Has anyone had experience with the STR710 eveluation board

and the Amontec Chameleon (Raven emulator)?

Do they work together?

It works fine with the wiggler if thats any help.

Just FYI:

My problem was caused by a faulty JTAG adapter device.

I now have Anglia's toolchain (thanks sjo) working

with the Amontec (configured as a Raven) and the

ST710 Evaluation board. :D

How did you get all the asm files to compile under gnu? Is it another case of manually converting them to GNU As?

The Free Anglia ARM Toolchain/IDE is gcc based and all the str71x/72x ST libraries have been integated within.

And yes they were converted, but it was not that difficult.
