u-boot 2020.04-5.10.9 build with floating point operation

Hello, it's my first time in Yocto and NXP product. 

So please understand some part of my question is weird.

 

I'm trying to do port the code from (A)u-boot 2009 to (B)u-boot 2020.

(A) contains some double, float operation, it's about OLED setting.

(A) compiles with no problem, toolchain is "gcc-4.6.2-glibc-2.13-linaro-multilib-2011.12"

 

I copied these OLED setting code to my (B)u-boot 2020.

There happened build errors from several reasons.

1) when libgcc is not linked, "undefined reference to `__aeabi_d2iz'" occurred.

2) after libgcc provided, -msoft-float option conflicted with 

    arm-poky-linux-gnueabi- tool chain's libgcc.a, it supports only hardfp(?.. I'm not sure)

So I changed config.mk and some defconfigs like below

https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-Processors/bitbake-u-boot-imx-failed-because-undefined-reference-t...

now I can build without error

but when it's executed "undefined instruction" error shown and stopped.

 

This is my recent three days work.

 

And my question is. 

1) Can I modify my given (yocto provided) toolchain ARM-POKY-LINUX-GNUEABI-  to support softfp enabled libgcc.a?

2) If 1) is not possible, can I build (B)u-boot 2020 with "gcc-4.6.2-glibc-2.13-linaro-multilib-2011.12" toolchain?

3) Any opinions why "undefined instruction" happens?

 

If any of above answers are "YES" then please let me know how.. 

 

Regards.

I modified source/meta-freescale/conf/machine/include/imx-base.inc

DEFAULTTUNE_mx6 ?= "cortexa9thf-neon" --> "cortexa9t-neon"

and rebuilt toolchain and got softfp toolchain and libgcc.

u-boot built with no error and runs well. 

 

Am I doing right?
