A recent gcc added a new unaligned rodata section called '.rodata.str1.1',
which needs to be added the the linker script. Instead of just adding this
one section, we use a wildcard ".rodata*" to get all rodata linker section
gcc has now and might add in the future.
However, '*(.rodata*)' by itself will result in sub-optimal section
ordering. The sections will be sorted by object file, which causes extra
padding between the unaligned rodata.str.1.1 of one object file and the
aligned rodata of the next object file. This is easy to fix by using the
SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT command.
This patch has not be tested one most of the boards modified. Some boards
have a linker script that looks something like this:
*(.text)
. = ALIGN(16);
*(.rodata)
*(.rodata.str1.4)
*(.eh_frame)
I change this to:
*(.text)
. = ALIGN(16);
*(.eh_frame)
*(SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT(SORT_BY_NAME(.rodata*)))
This means the start of rodata will no longer be 16 bytes aligned.
However, the boundary between text and rodata/eh_frame is still aligned to
16 bytes, which is what I think the real purpose of the ALIGN call is.

Most of the bss initialization loop increments 4 bytes
at a time. And the loop end is checked for an 'equal'
condition. Make the bss end address aligned by 4, so
that the loop will end as expected.

adding support for Xilinx ML401
- Add support for the SSV ADNP/ESC1 (Nios Softcore)
* Patch by George G. Davis, 9 Mar 2004:
fix recent build failure for SA1100 target
* Patch by Travis Sawyer, 09 Mar 2004:
Support native interrupt mode for the IBM440GX.
Previously it was running in 440GP compatibility mode.
- more documentation for NIOS port
- new struct nios_pio_t, struct nios_spi_t
- Reconfiguration for NIOS Development Kit DK1C20:
o move board related code from board/dk1c20
to board/altera/dk1c20
o create a new common source path board/altera/common
and move generic flash access stuff into it
o change/expand configuration file DK1C20.h
- Add support for NIOS Development Kit DK1S10
- Add status LED support for NIOS systems
- Add dual 7-segment LED support for Altera NIOS DevKits
- Added Motorola CPU 8540/8560 support (cpu/85xx)
- Added Motorola MPC8540ADS board support (board/mpc8540ads)
- Added Motorola MPC8560ADS board support (board/mpc8560ads)
* Minor code cleanup
- add support for Altera Nios-32 CPU
- add support for Nios Cyclone Development Kit (DK-1C20)
* Patch by Steven Scholz, 29 Sep 2003:
- A second parameter for bootm overwrites the load address for
"Standalone Application" images.
- bootm sets environment variable "filesize" to the resulting
(uncompressed) data length for "Standalone Application" images
when autostart is set to "no". Now you can do something like
if bootm $fpgadata $some_free_ram ; then
fpga load 0 $some_free_ram $filesize
