CCS/TMS320C6713B: Importing CCS2(C6000) to CCSv4.2 Linker Error: No Matching Section

dheeraj Kumar

Part Number: TMS320C6713B

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi Team,

I am working on migrating very old DSP project (CCS 2(C6000) to upgraded version of CCS like 6 or 7. I am getting following warning in Linker:

Description Resource Path Location Type
#10068-D no matching section mc.cmd /CORE MC Boot/link line 30 C/C++ Problem

This is bootloader project and this section loads data to RAM memory.

I tried it in CCS 6.0.1 and 6.1.0 i got same error. I also tried on CCS v4.2 and got the same result. I also looked into other thread but could not get much info about this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

From the Console (not Problems) view please show, by copy-n-paste, the linker invocation, and all the resulting diagnostics. Also attach the linker command file. So the forum will accept it, add the file extension .txt to it.

Thanks and regards,

-George

Based on what I see, I have to suspect a bug in the linker. I need to reproduce it, and then submit a bug report. For that I need the CCS project with the problem (the new one). Please package it up as described in the article Project Sharing, then attach it to your next post.

Thanks and regards,

-George

Hi George, Could you please share your email ID. My company has NDA in place with TI and i will share project over email to you rather than publishing here on this platform.

Thanks,
Dheeraj

TI__Guru**** 232920 points

Thank you for submitting a test case through other channels. I can reproduce the same behavior. It is not a bug in the linker. There are ways to make it work.

The problem line in the linker command file is ...

BOOT_TEXT   {LoadBoot.obj (.text)}  >       BOOT_LOAD

This says to create an output section named BOOT_TEXT. It has one input section, named .text, which comes from the object file LoadBoot.obj. The source file LoadBoot.c contains one function named v_LoadBoot. There are no other calls to this function in the program. Thus, the linker removes it, via a feature named conditional linking. Conditional linking is not implemented in older versions of the compiler. When you upgraded your compiler, you effectively turned conditional linking on without knowing it.

You can disable conditional linking two ways. Both methods are options to the linker. One is to use --disable_clink. This disables all conditional linking. A more targeted approach is to use the option --undef_sym=_v_LoadBoot. This tells the linker to recognize that symbol, and effectively disables conditional linking for just this one function. Note I added a "_" to the front of the function name. That is because you build with the older COFFABI, and not the newer EABI. Under EABI, conditional linking works, and is controlled, differently.

Thanks and regards,

-George

Thanks George for the inputs , This helps removing that warning but the project is not working. I mean the Hex created are different and System is not working with the New Hex file. Any inputs would be appreciated.

Make sure the function v_LoadBoot is present and at the correct address. If that checks out, then I don't know what else could be wrong.
