Hi all,

There remains 13 boards listed as having warnings or errors at this point in a ./MAKEALL arm:

--------------------- SUMMARY ---------------------------- Boards compiled: 242
Boards with warnings or errors: 13 ( omap3_beagle actux1_4_16 actux1_8_16 actux1_4_32 actux1_8_32 actux2 actux3 actux4 dvlhost ixdp425 ixdpg425 pdnb3 scpu )
----------------------------------------------------------

Of these,

1. omap3_beagle has a 'simple' warning "beagle.c:532: warning:
initialization from incompatible pointer type". Dirk, can you look into it?

2. ixdp425 is marked "orphaned". Stefan, I am wild-guessing that ixdp425 might be acquainted to the ixdpg425 that you maintain. Do you want to take ixdp425? If not, we should drop it.

3. All others have the same issue, namely "arm-linux-ld: stubs.o:
compiled for a big endian system and target is little endian". Seems for this one, I am not using the right toolchain or at least the right libs. Can one of the maintainers let me know how exactly they build their boards?

Amicalement,

I don't have access to it. I vote for removing it.

Best regards,

I do have one of these @work, but rarely take it out of the closet. I can run tests if required. but I am not sure if it is worth the effort to keep it.

OTOH, ixdgp425 seems to be an almost exact clone of the ixdp425, with different PCB layout, so ditching one and keeping the other makes not much sense IMHO.

Just tried actux3 - I get only this one warning:

/usr/local/pkg/x-tools/armeb-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/.armeb-unknown-linux-gnu-ld:
warning: creating a DT_TEXTREL in object.

AFAIK, that one has been there since relocation was added.

Um - no. These compilers were built from scratch using crosstools-ng - I am not sure where the x-tools directory name came from, but this is definitely a local build from free sources, not some closed binary.

Thanks for the clarification. I was indeed misled by the 'x-tools' name.

Fine with me. I don't have access to this hardware any more. If nobody else "jumps in", lets drop support for it too.

Stefan

Please have a look to

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/115936/

The additional 'const' removes the warning, the removed space before '(' makes checkpatch happy.

Best regards

Dirk
