Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler
Hi,
I am attempting to bring autoinit.c into my project. I successfully build. My linker order is autoinit.c, rts*.lib, linker generated. It loads onto the board alright, but ends up in abort(). I put an index counter in the while loop. The index is 1 when it fails, defaulted to 0, incremented after the constructor call from
unsigned int* x=0xEFFFFF08; // almost top of memory.
*x=0;
while (&(__TI_INITARRAY_Base[i]) != __TI_INITARRAY_Limit)
{
__TI_INITARRAY_Base[i++]();
(*x)++;
}
The first call to my global constructor seems to return okay, but the 2nd does not. The NRP value in this abort is 0x0000_0000. There are about 30-40 total constructors. The RTS library by itself works fine.
1. Do you know if this has been tested and works? Is there a reason it may fail? My project is located on an isolated computer; let me know if I should attempt to create an example project (it probably wont be easy).
And
2. Let's say I wanted to rebuild the RTS library with auto_init changes. Why don't I see my arbitrary memory location be filled in. I was able to do this with printf() in a rebuilt rts.lib
Setup:
Code Composer Studio 5.x
Big Endian, ELF format. Added the "__TI_EABI" flag needed for the isolated file auto_init.c and have the auto_init_elf() function be executed in the project.
CGT 7.3.23 (this is where I get the RTS.src from)
Starting point: A working product that is fielded. It is known to successfully boot and perform with the basic rts lib.
Rebuilding the RTS lib seems to work, but I don't see a global pointer populate an arbitrary space in memory. I proved I could do this in the printf.c file, but it doesn't seem so in auto_init.c::auto_init_elf()
