BIGBOOT=1 results in section overlapping #108

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
I'm trying to compile optiboot with EEPROM support for m328. Enabling BIG_BOOT 
results in an error by the linker complaining about a section overlap. Has this 
been tested by someone lately?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Current revision from the repository (1eeecd3a4bac6923664f15caff7fb7b945b97506) 
on Linux. Tried both, avr-gcc 4.9 and as well as the one provided with arduino 
itself (4.3.2).

Hi,
Got the same problem, I think I found why, this is because the text section 
defined for the linker on the Makefile does not take into account the new size 
and start program at 0x7e00 :

atmega328: LDSECTIONS  = -Wl,--section-start=.text=0x7e00 
-Wl,--section-start=.version=0x7ffe

may be it should be replaced by 

atmega328: LDSECTIONS  = -Wl,--section-start=.text=0x7c00 
-Wl,--section-start=.version=0x7ffe

To work in both case, try this but in this case you need to pass BIGBOOT=1 to 
the command line parameter and let the optiboot.c source code untouched

ifdef BIGBOOT
atmega328: LDSECTIONS  = -Wl,--section-start=.text=0x7c00 
-Wl,--section-start=.version=0x7ffe
else
atmega328: LDSECTIONS  = -Wl,--section-start=.text=0x7e00 
-Wl,--section-start=.version=0x7ffe
endif

I'm not sure, need to be tested, let me know ;-)

Yes; currently BIGBOOT doesn't adjust the start addresses, and only works if 
the part has a bigger boot section by default; it's more designed to go with 
the other chip targets (644, 1280, etc.)
