Can you provide more details on what it means to be "miscompiled"? Can you narrow down what part of u-boot is being miscompiled? You might try building v2015.10 u-boot. There is a recipe for it in the jethro branch of the bap: http://sandbox.sakoman.com/git/?p=meta-edison-bsp.git;a=tree;f=recipes-bsp/u-boot;h=f28ac38ee4b89970801e534b880de890d1fab65c;hb=refs/heads/jethro (In reply to comment #1) > Can you provide more details on what it means to be "miscompiled"? That u-boot doesn't work as expected. It gets stuck right after printing out it's version string and amount of RAM. > Can you > narrow down what part of u-boot is being miscompiled? Without hardware debugger it is quite hard to see where it gets stuck.

Two last lines are the difference to the earlier 2014 version. Verified that the newer u-boot also starts working by reverting the binutils upgrade. This could be related to the upstream binutils issue: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19538 Filed a new upstream bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19616 And HJ responded with a patch in that bug that fixes the problem. It is based on the HEAD of the 2.26 branch and there will be a 2.26.1 release coming soon, not sure the exact date. Marking this wait for upstream until that release comes. this should be fixed by http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2016-February/117529.html once it lands in master. Thanks to Khem! Binutils is updated to include this patch in master now. http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=138778501367d3cd0036fc31afbbedce0016f478 |
