Error with arm-trusted-firmware compilation when built by cross toolchain


I am working on rcar gen 3 platform from Renesas and particularly on arm-trusted-firmware level.

    1. bootparam_sa0.srec Loader(Boot parameter)                <======= arm-trusted-firmware
    2. bl2-m3ulcb.srec Loader                                   <======= arm-trusted-firmware
    3. cert_header_sa6.srec Loader(Certification)               <======= arm-trusted-firmware
    4. bl31-m3ulcb.srec ARM Trusted Firmware                    <======= arm-trusted-firmware
    5. tee-m3ulcb.srec Open Portable Trusted OS                 <======= optee-os
    6. u-boot-elf.srec U-Boot                                   <======= u-boot

I built BL31 by command with Gcc v5.4

$ make ARCH=aarch64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- PLAT=rcar LSI=M3 RCAR_GEN3_ULCB=1 RCAR_LOSSY_ENABLE=1 RCAR_DRAM_SPLIT=2 PMIC_LEVEL_MODE=0 bl31

But I ran into the below err:

"

"

Same error: https://github.com/ARM-software/tf-issues/issues/417

The assembly code is correct and is apparently not the problem.

It seemed that it depends on Compiler. I was trying to install gcc/g++ 7.4 cross:

http://ftp.br.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gcc-7-cross/gcc-7-aarch64-linux-gnu_7.4.0-1cross1_amd64.deb

http://ftp.br.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gcc-7-cross/g++-7-aarch64-linux-gnu_7.4.0-1cross1_amd64.deb

on Ubuntu 16.04, and modified the Makefile to used gcc-7 (cross), g++-7 (cross), but still had this error. How can I overcome this err ?


Solution

  • You could stop using the toolchains that are provided with your Linux distribution, and start using a Linaro toolchain instead:

    wget https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/latest-7/aarch64-elf/gcc-linaro-7.4.1-2019.02-x86_64_aarch64-elf.tar.xz
    tar Jxf gcc-linaro-7.4.1-2019.02-x86_64_aarch64-elf.tar.xz -C /opt
    
    git clone https://github.com/renesas-rcar/arm-trusted-firmware arm-trusted-firmware-renesas
    cd arm-trusted-firmware-renesas
    make ARCH=aarch64  CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/gcc-linaro-7.4.1-2019.02-x86_64_aarch64-elf/bin/aarch64-elf- PLAT=rcar LSI=M3 RCAR_GEN3_ULCB=1 RCAR_LOSSY_ENABLE=1 RCAR_DRAM_SPLIT=2 PMIC_LEVEL_MODE=0 bl31
