how to define starting point in the project?

[Veter]

I am using CodeWarrior for ColdFire version 6.4.

My target is MCF5307.

The project was before created using DIAB compiler.

It has an entry point:

PSECT

XDEF start

ALIGN 4

; Boot code section definition: 4 byte alignment, read-only data, & executable code
.section ".text",4 ;rx

start:
    nop
    nop
    nop
    nop

; initialize a5 to sdata (provided by linker)
    move.l #__SDA_BASE_,a5
   
; initialize the stack pointer
    move.l  #__SRAM_END, a7

    jsr _initRegisters     ; jump to the function that will initialize the remaining registers
 
 ; we will never reach this point as initRegisters never returns! 

    jsr _main

I have a problem building project in CW for "start" initialization is not recognized.

Is there any alternative to start point initialization in CW?

PSECT

XDEF start

ALIGN 4

I tried using .global statement with start: and the substituded three lines above with one:

.global start

However, when running in debugger I get: "__start" is not recognized error.

Please help.

Hello

Did you specify your entry point is start?

Per default the linker will use __start as application entry point. You need to tell him you are using another function as entry point.

This needs to be specified in the Target settings "Coldfire Linker" panel.

I did specified that my entry point is start.

The problem is that in file "startup.s" the starting point initialized with syntax for DIAB compiler. I am looking for alternative in CW for ColdFire. Please see attached "startup.s" file.

Thank you for your help!
