Segmentation fault when building the On-Board Diagnostics Suite (OBDS) for Freescale i.MX53 -blog archive

[keekis]

I am trying to build the OBDS for i.MX53 Quick Start Board using VmWare player with the VmWare image included in the start-up kit.

The compiling part seems to work fine using "make TARGET=mx53 BOARD=evk BOARD_VERSION=1".

However the linking part ends with a segmentation fault as shown in the trace below.

I would really appreciate some help here.

[Yuri]

Please use sbrth_lcb for the Quick start board

[caoping]

oh when i enter the Download Sourcery CodeBench for ARM EABI - Mentor Graphics,enter i can't find where to dowenload

"Download Sourcery G++ Lite 2011.03-42" ,

[caohaifeng]

download G++ Lite, do not download CodeBench.

[Yuri]

Please use the recent available release of Sourcery G++ Lite.

[yektaayduk]

I'm also trying to use the OBDS ,the target names in code are not familiar to me.

sbrth_lcb ,sbrt_smd  which one is the Quick start board ?

[HuiShao]

Thanks! I have built and installed it into rootfs, it seems to be working fine.

[mikhailgeister]

Hi Hui Shao,

Were you able to build successfully OBDS for i.MX53 QSB board?  Did OBDS run fine on QSB w/o any modifications?
Please let me know as I need to understand if I could go this route.

Thanks,
Mikhail.

[KarlLu]

The code is compiled with the ARM-NONE-EABI GCC toolchain obtained here:

https://sourcery.mentor.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/subscription3053

Click on "Download Sourcery G++ Lite 2011.03-42" and download the Windows or Linux tar ball

or installer

[HuiShao]

Thanks! Karl. Any requirement for the specific version of that toolchain ?

[KarlLu]

you are using arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc but for OBDS building, you need to use arm-none-eabi-gcc.

[caoping]

hi,when download the software,and use the CodeSourcery,and modify

make.def content,which is in OBDS

modify

CC= arm-none-eabi-gcc

AS = arm-none-eabi-as

AR = arm-none-eabi-ar

LN = arm-none-eabi-ld

into

CC= /home/lucid/CodeSourcery/Sourcery_CodeBench_for_ARM_EABI/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc

AS = /home/lucid/CodeSourcery/Sourcery_CodeBench_for_ARM_EABI/bin/arm-none-eabi-as

AR = /home/lucid/CodeSourcery/Sourcery_CodeBench_for_ARM_EABI/bin/arm-none-eabi-ar

LN = /home/lucid/CodeSourcery/Sourcery_CodeBench_for_ARM_EABI/bin/arm-none-eabi-ld

and run"make TARGET=mx53 BOARD=sbrth_lcb BOARD_VERSION=1",

and the  shell will display "

Build has completed.ELF file available in:

=>/home/lucid/Desktop/obds/output/mx53/bin"

and it will produce "diag-obds-mx53sbrth_lcb-rev1.bin" in the catalogue "/home/lucid/Desktop/obds/output/mx53/bin" ,the size of it is 619.2KB,and i flash it into SD,the Board can't boot,but when i flash "diag-obds-mx53sbrth_lcb-rev1.bin" in the catalogue"/home/lucid/Desktop/I201139_mx53_sbrth_lcb_release" with the same method,and the file size is 624.5KB,it boots ok ,i don't know why?

i use i.MX53 QSB board.

[caoping]

the compiler process is in  attachment file,but it can't run on Quick board.

[HuiShao]

hi  Kjell

Is your problem got resolved? Can you please share the solution?

I downloaded 201050_mx53_sbrth_lcb_release.zip from Freescale website but I am not sure if it is the one for QSB. Tried to build it but got simiar failure like yours.

Thanks in advance!

[keekis]

I forwarded the document I got from Freescale support.

It describes where to get the OBDS source and it worked for me without
any link segmentation fault.

[Liranbenhaim]

hi can you please tell me where can i find the obds source code i searched the web and freescale web site and didnt find it thanks liran liran@bna.co.il
