Hi all,
I am using --entry=startup option with the armlink command.
The command I am using is:-
armlink --cpu=cortex-m3 --entry=startup --scatter=xyz.scat -o abc.exe def.o abc.o --diag_suppress 6238
I get the following error:-
Error: L6204E: Entry point (0x00000290) does not point to an instruction.
In my
assembly code
, I have:-
AREA ||.text.startup||, CODE, READONLY, ALIGN=2
label0
startup
DCD 0x00000000
DCD label1
DCD label2
DCD label2
DCD label2
...
...
...
My
scatter file
has the following contents:-
LOAD_REGION 0x00000000 0x00200000
{
.text +0
{
*.text.startup (+RO)
* (+RO)
}
.data +0
{
*.data (+RW)
* (+RW)
}
.bss +0
{
*.bss (+ZI)
* (+ZI)
}
}
I am using
RVDS 4.0
on a
Win XP
with
cygwin environment
.
Please guide me with this.
Regards

Usually the entry point of an image points is executable code. Armlink is probably wondering if your image's entry point should be marked as ARM or Thumb. You've already found --diag_suppress; have you tried suppressing L6204 or downgrading it to a warning with --diag_warning?
Also if you're expecting .text.startup to be the first section in the .text execution region, you will need to add +FIRST.
