altos/telegps: Inherit LDFLAGS from lpc make specification

2017-04-22T18:06:40+00:00

Somethings messed up with cortex-M0 linking, and this isn't helping as it overrides the LDFLAGS coming from the architecture. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

ao-tools/ao-flash-lpc: Adapt to current openocd LPC support

2017-04-22T17:54:07+00:00

Openocd 0.9.0 has generalized the lpc11xx support for all lpc11xx processors, not just the lpc11u14. This replaces the specific lpc11u14.cfg with the general lpc11xx.cfg file. Unlike the build we were using, this doesn't adjust the 'verify' command to adapt for the checksum which gets added during the flashing process. Hence, we disable verification and trust that if the flash loader works to load the OS, it's fine. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

ao-elftohex: Add conditions for skipping ELF sections

2017-04-22T17:52:34+00:00

Skip sections with size 0, or which are of type SHT_NOBITS or which don't have the SHF_ALLOC flag set. This avoids crashing on sections which don't have any data to copy. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

altos/lpc,altos/stmf0: Use -n flag to work around link editor issue

2017-04-22T17:39:17+00:00

Something changed in the link editor which makes it complain about 'no space for program headers' on LPC and STMF0 builds. Somehow, adding the '-n' flag to the linking step fixes it. It doesn't appear to break the build, so I guess it's ok? Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

altos/arm: Align data so that gcc 5.4 doesn't do byte-accesses. Add -Wcast-align

2017-01-25T19:21:43+00:00

Gcc 5.4.1 tracks alignment of data through assignments, so that a uint32_t pointer which comes from byte-aligned uint8_t data: extern uint8_t foo[]; uint32_t *q = (void *) foo; Fetches and stores through this pointer are done bytewise. This is slow (meh), but if q references a device register, things to bad very quickly. This patch works around this bug in the compiler by adding __attribute__((aligned(4))) tags to some variables, or changing them from uint8_t to uint32_t. Places doing this will now be caught as I've added -Wcast-align to the compiler flags. That required adding (void *) casts, after the relevant code was checked to make sure the compiler could tell that the addresses were aligned. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard
