[TDA4VM]firmware of mcu2_1 cannot run if the firmware is stripped

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TDA4VM, SYSBIOS

Hi,

Now we have some TDA4VM/J721EX boards and 06_01_00_15 sdk.

I create a simple demo, which looks like the demo in the psdk_rtos_auto_j7_06_01_00_15/vision_apps/apps/basic_demos/app_tirtos/tirtos_linux/mcu2_1.

The demo did nothing but create a task include ti openvx.

When I finished compiling the firmware, it can run on mcu2_1. But if I strip it by the command of "ti-cgt-arm_18.12.1.LTS/bin/armstrip -p FIRMWARE", it cannot run on mcu2_1.

I don't know the reason for the reason that it didn't output any information.

My makefile which is used to compile the firmware is as follows:

RTOS_SDK_PATH = /project/TDA4/psdk_rtos_auto_j7_06_01_00_15

    Hello,

    I tried this at my end by adding below to the makefile and it worked fine for me.

    Can you try this on SDK binaries before trying on your binaries ?

    Now I find that if I add "--rom_model" to mcu2_1_LDFLAGS in the makefile, the firmware cannot run sometimes.

    What's the function of "--rom_model"?

    I am not sure, you need to check the compiler documentation. We don't use rom_model flag typically.

    Can you compare the options passed to the linker vs what is done in vision_apps.

    Do below in vision_apps to see the options passed

    cd vision_apps

    make vx_app_tirtos_linux_mcu2_1 SHOW_COMMANDS=1

    Please confirm if this fixes the issues. Above should work.
