disable and remove fpu instructions

flongnos

Hello,

I would like to disable the FPU on my ARM Cortex A9 CPU during the boot software execution.

But I need to employ RSA authentication to guarantee the integrity of my image partitions.

As I am trying to compile my boot software using arm-none-eabi-gcc with no FPU support, I noticed that the Xilinx xilrsa.a library may access VFP registers (FPU or NEON). See the exact errors at the bottom of my post.

However as I looked at the disassembly code, no vector instruction appears (e.g. vadd, vstr...) , and all accessed registers are with the general purpose range (0~15).

What would trigger this error then? Is it because the library has been compiled with arguments -mfpu=vfpv3  and -mfloat-abi=hard ??

Thank you

Florian
