Before this commit, weak symbols were not overridden by non-weak symbols
found in archive libraries when linking with recent versions of
binutils. As stated in the System V ABI, "the link editor does not
extract archive members to resolve undefined weak symbols".
This commit changes all Makefiles to use partial linking (ld -r) instead
of creating library archives, which forces all symbols to participate in
linking, allowing non-weak symbols to override weak symbols as intended.
This approach is also used by Linux, from which the gmake function
cmd_link_o_target (defined in config.mk and used in all Makefiles) is
inspired.
The name of each former library archive is preserved except for
extensions which change from ".a" to ".o". This commit updates
references accordingly where needed, in particular in some linker
scripts.
This commit reveals board configurations that exclude some features but
include source files that depend these disabled features in the build,
resulting in undefined symbols. Known such cases include:
- disabling CMD_NET but not CMD_NFS;
- enabling CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT but not CONFIG_QE.

timer support
interrupt controller support
flash support
ethernet support
cache support
board information support
env support
booting image support
adding support for Xilinx ML401
Modifications are based on the linux kernel approach and
support two use cases:
1) Add O= to the make command line
'make O=/tmp/build all'
2) Set environement variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location
'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
'make'
The second approach can also be used with a MAKEALL script
'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
'./MAKEALL'
Command line 'O=' setting overrides BUILD_DIR environent variable.
When none of the above methods is used the local build is performed and
the object files are placed in the source directory.
1: - board/altera/common/flash.c:flash_erase():
o allow interrupts befor get_timer() call
o check-up each erased sector and avoid unexpected timeouts
- board/altera/dk1c20/dk1s10.c:board_early_init_f():
o enclose sevenseg_set() in cpp condition
- remove the ASMI configuration for DK1S10_standard_32 (never present)
- fix some typed in mistakes in the NIOS documentation
2: - split DK1C20 configuration into several header files:
o two new files for each NIOS CPU description
o U-Boot related part is remaining in DK1C20.h
3: - split DK1S10 configuration into several header files:
o two new files for each NIOS CPU description
o U-Boot related part is remaining in DK1S10.h
4: - Add support for the Microtronix Linux Development Kit
NIOS CPU configuration at the Altera Nios Development Kit,
Stratix Edition (DK-1S10)
5: - Add documentation for the Altera Nios Development Kit,
Stratix Edition (DK-1S10)
6: - Add support for the Nios Serial Peripharel Interface (SPI)
(master only)
7: - Add support for the common U-Boot SPI framework at
RTC driver DS1306
* Patch by Scott McNutt, 02 Jan 2004:
Add support for the Nios Active Serial Memory Interface (ASMI)
on Cyclone devices
* Patch by Andrea Marson, 16 Dec 2003:
Add support for the PPChameleon ME and HI modules
* Patch by Yuli Barcohen, 22 Dec 2003:
Add support for Motorola DUET ADS board (MPC87x/88x)
- 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
