[Problem] SAMA5D27 Cortex-A5 cross compiler

GreenDragonZA over 2 years ago

Hello All

I am still a newbie to building using linix makefile cross compiling.

I have years of experience with Microchip but want to grow my knowledge in linux.

I have selected the SAMA5D27 that is part of the ATSAMA5D27-WLSOM1-EK1 development board that has a Cortex-A5.

But I also want to implement FreeRTOS as later I want to try SafeRTOS.

I did look under the examples but even using eclipse I get the same error.

Below is my simple makefile for a starter:

#################################
# GNU ARM Embedded Toolchain
#################################
#COMP = arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc
COMP=arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc
#COMP=arm-elf-gcc

MPU_TARGET = -mcpu=cortex-a5 -Wall -fdata-sections -ffunction-sections
#MPU_TARGET = -mcpu=cortex-a5 -march=armv7-a -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=neon-fp-armv8 -mneon-for-64bits
#MPU_TARGET = -mcpu=sama5d27-som1-ek sama5d2-ptc-ek


#################################
# Include directories begin
#################################
#################################
# + Root directory
#################################
INCLUDE_DIR = -I./
#################################
# + FreeRTOS directory
#################################
INCLUDE_DIR += -I./include
INCLUDE_DIR += -I./portable/GCC/ARM_CA53_64_BIT

#################################
# Include directories end
#################################


SRC_DIR = $(wildcard *.c) 

OBJECT_DIR = ./obj
OBJ = $(patsubst %.c,%.o,$(wildcard *.c))

GCC : 
	$(COMP) $(MPU_TARGET) $(SRC_DIR) $(INCLUDE_DIR)

But I keep on getting tmp/cc8qyeDo.s:1907: Error: selected processor does not support requested special purpose register -- `msr DAIFSET,#2'.

Think I just need to get pointed into the right direction with the correct cross compiler to use. And also the appropriate flags.

If listed. Please also just a brief installation help as I am still new to Linux-mint and learning.

Thank you in advance.
