Rebuilding MONITOR program
Posted: Fri Oct 21, 2011 3:38 pm
I am using a version of the MONITOR program that I think dates back to version 1.77 of the Netburner tools. The target processor is the MFC5272. I have been wanting to rebuild this monitor (I have all the source files) to add a RAM or ROM test function. We use the Netburner tools but our own hardware.
We have had no need to rebuild the monitor in over 10 years. I have a dim recollection of being able to compile it back then without any difficulty. However, when I try to build it today, using 1.99 tools, I get this error message:
...../m68k-elf/bin/ld: error no memory region specified for loadable section .rodata.str.1
Can anyone say what it takes to build the monitor? Or how to deal with that particular error? I am afraid I have no idea how to properly edit .ld files, if that is where the problem arises. I suspect an .ld file because those files are the only place I see the "rodata" appear other than in the .map files.
