Problem building u-boot

Hi everyone,

I am having problems build the last couple of u-boot releases. All the files compile correctly, but when it tries to link, I get the following error.

ppc_6xx-objcopy --gap-fill-0xff -O binary u-boot u-boot.bin
ppc_6xx-objcopy: u-boot.bin: No Space left on device

I am building uboot for a MPC5200b processor configured for high boot (address 0xfff00000)

I have at least 10Gbytes of space on my harddrive.

Is there a makefile configuration that I need to make?

Thanks for any help,

Nick Droogh

Hi Nick,

You have a link map issue, something in your link map is a long way away (in terms of addresses) from your main code. The --gap-fill-0xff is filling that *whole empty space* with 0xFF, which fills up your HD.

Use "objdump -h" to look at the section headers and it will probably be clear what the problem is.

HTH,
