Issue in building RAM based u-boot.

[chandrashekhar]

Hi,

I am trying to build RAM based u-boot image as mentioned in document T1040RDBQS.pdf section 9. I added below mentioned settings in boards.cfg

Active powerpc mpc85xx - freescale t104xrdb T1040RDB_RAM T1040RDB:PPC_T1040, RAMBOOT_PBL, SPIFLASH,SYS_TEXT_BASE=0x11000000,RESET_VECTOR_ADDRESS=0x110bfffc

But it results in below error

/sysroots/ppce5500-fsl_networking-linux/usr/lib/powerpc-fsl_networking-linux/4.7.3 -lgcc -Map u-boot.map -o u-boot

powerpc-fsl_networking-linux-objcopy --gap-fill=0xff -O srec u-boot u-boot.srec

powerpc-fsl_networking-linux-objcopy:u-boot.srec: No space left on device

make[1]: *** [u-boot.srec] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/ws/chanmish-bgl/asr907/trunk/u-boot/git'

make: *** [T1040RDB_RAM] Error 2

The error indicate is "No space left on device". Before do anything else, please check the space on your PC.

Hi Adrian,

My PC where I am compiling this code has 2GB free space. So, it should not be the workstation space issue.

Hi Adrian,

In fact you are right that there is a space issue. I could see the generated u-boot file size is of 4G. How come it can generate such a huge elf file? Is there any configuration issue?

Hi Chandra,

The u-boot file size will be just 512KB in size, but during  u-boot compilation is necessary more space available.

U-Boot does not require 4G of free disk space to build, and even if it did that would not result in a 4G final image.  There is most likely a problem with the way the image is being linked.

Hi Adrian,

I freed about 8 GB of space in PC, but still I see the same error.

powerpc-fsl_networking-linux-objcopy --gap-fill=0xff -O srec u-boot u-boot.srec
