Cortex v8 architecture based devices support secure/non-secure builds.
Secure build should generate the object file/library from elf during link
process which is used by non-secure binary during linking.
--out-implib=file specifies output library in which symbols are exported
--cmse-implib requests libraries mentioned above are secure gateway
libraries
Creation of secure library is done as part of linking process in GCC/ARMC6/IAR
Non-Secure project should add this secure object file as part of the
linking process.
Secure library is named as cmse_lib.o.
targets.json contained a key for some targets, `OUTPUT_EXT`, which I
moved to `Target`, the root of all targets. Following on that, the tools
now use this extension provided by `OUTPUT_EXT` to determine the file
type of the output executable.
This is a bug fix for the following bug (Github issue #437):
If two builds were run specifying a non-default build folder, the second
build would fail to link with duplicate symbols and may not fit on the
device. The root of this problem is that these non-default build folders
are not ignored by scan-resources, and therefore included in the build.
We fix this bug by ignoring the build directory passed into the tools.
Resolves the github issue #3790: Blinky fails to build (on Mac) after
addition of linker script preprocessing feature. Paraphrasing, this
issue is that Homebrew on mac does not install `arm-none-eabi-gcc` in
the same location as `arm-none-eabi-cpp`, the C Pre-Processor. The tools
prior to this commit, and after turning on the pre-processing of the
linker-script will fail on any Mac homebrew installed toolchains.
This commit resolves the above issue by allowing the toolchain's path to
the executable to remain empty after a call to `check_executable`. When
this path is empty, the tools will search the PATH environment variable
for the executable.
This allows us to define parts of the linker script outside of the
linker script itself. In particular, we are interested in restricting
ROM to a subsection.
* Adding Cortex-A support for gnuarmeclipse
* Preventing '-mthumb' from being added to Cortex-A builds.
Previously, both '-mthumb' and '-marm' were being supplied to the
compiler (in that order). Because '-marm' came last, the compiler
respected this option. This change makes it so '-mthumb' is added for
all 'Cortex-M' targets only.
* Renaming to capital .S for Eclipse compatibility
Before the toolchains would ignore error messages that contained the
string "Fatal error". This would lead to a silent failure unless the
compile command was ran with verbose options. This is now fixed.
This functionality was already present in the ARM toolchain script, but
this commit adds this across all toolchain scripts. Solves an issue that
cropped up where a build error wasn't being printed unless the verbose
flag was used. This should now print any existing error messages that have
been printed when the compiler output is being parsed.
Keep track of the current size allocated, maximum size allocated,
number of allocations, failed allocations and total size allocated for
both GCC and ARM. Report the maximum size allocated at the end of
testing.
Also, add a test to verify heap metrics are working as expected.
The output of the GCC compiler is such that the toolchain regex sometimes
got hung up on the ':' charcter being printed in front of the drive letter when
running on Windows. This PR changes the matching logic to be more flexible
by using 'search' to check the entire string for a match, not just the
beginning of the string.
Fixes#2360.
