e200 broken in 21.6.x Topic is solved

This is interesting: https://community.nxp.com/t5/MPC5xxx/Wh ... d-p/922748

Perhaps creating a stub would be sufficient, initializations are already done in startups.

it seems like creating an __eabi() or __init() stub works

Giving this a try...

okay, so copying these 2 eabivle-c*.S files and compiling them with the demo works.

They are also compiled with GCC and placed in lib/gcc/powerpc-eabivle/4.9.4/ecrt*.o
I'm trying to figure out why they are ignored...

One option would be to add them to libgcc.a
Another would be to explicitly link with them.

[Giovanni]

Probably they are not included because the application does not use the default startup files, our custom startups should export __eabi() and/or __init() equivalents I suppose.

Giovanni

[mobyfab]

yes, a stub void __eabi() {}; does the job as well

I've updated the script to use newer versions where possible, so far so good but I have no hardware to test it.

[Giovanni]

Added the stub to startup files, closing.
