Issue with compiling "Hello World" OS setup

SimonHA · Post by **SimonHA** » Thu Nov 10, 2016 4:05 pm

Hi all!

It's my first time here at the forum and I have a beginner issue with compiling my simple OS for an Raspberry Pi Zero.
Here is my MakeFile:

Code: Select all

# Target definitions.
ARCH 			= arch/arm
TARGET_BOARD	= pi-zero
TARGET_CPU		= arm1176jzf-s

# Compiler setup.
COMPILER = /home/simonha/opt/cross/bin/arm-none-eabi
AS = $(COMPILER)-as
CC = $(COMPILER)-g++
LD = $(COMPILER)-ld
CP = $(COMPILER)-objcopy
OD = $(COMPILER)-objdump

ASFLAGS	= -mcpu=$(TARGET_CPU)
CFLAGS 	= -mcpu=$(TARGET_CPU) -ffreestanding -Wall -Wextra -fpic -std=c++11 \
	-nodefaultlibs -lgcc
LDFLAGS = 

# Directory setup.
BUILD = build/
SOURCE = src/

# The name of the output file to generate.
KERNEL_TARGET = kernel.img

# The name of the assembler listing file to generate.
LIST = kernel.list

# The name of the map file to generate.
MAP = kernel.map

# The name of the linker script to use.
LINKER = $(ARCH)/$(TARGET_BOARD)/kernel.ld

# Header includes
HEADER_INCLUDES = \
	-I$(SOURCE) \
	-I$(SOURCE)/lib/libc/include \
	-I$(ARCH) \
	-I$(ARCH)/$(TARGET_BOARD)

# Assembly files.
KERNEL_AS = \
	$(wildcard $(ARCH)/kernel/*.s) \
	$(wildcard $(ARCH)/$(TARGET_BOARD)/lib/*.s)
	
# Source files.
KERNEL_SRC = \
	$(wildcard $(ARCH)/kernel/*.cpp) \
	$(wildcard $(ARCH)/$(TARGET_BOARD)/driver/*.cpp) \
	$(wildcard $(SOURCE)/kernel/*.cpp)

# Kernel C-library files.
KERNEL_C_LIB = \
	$(wildcard $(SOURCE)/lib/libc/string/*.c)

KERNEL_AS_OBJ =  $(patsubst %.s, %.o, $(KERNEL_AS))
KERNEL_SRC_OBJ = $(patsubst %.cpp, %.o, $(KERNEL_SRC))
KERNEL_C_LIB_OBJ = $(patsubst %.c, %.o, $(KERNEL_C_LIB))

# Rule to make everything.
all: build_kernel_c_lib build_kernel build_binary build_list

# Rule to make kernel C library.
build_kernel_c_lib: $(KERNEL_C_LIB_OBJ)
%.o : %.c
	mkdir -p $(dir $(BUILD)$@)
	$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(HEADER_INCLUDES) -c $< -o $(BUILD)$@

# Rule to make the object files.

	mkdir -p $(dir $(BUILD)$@)
	$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(HEADER_INCLUDES) -c $< -o $(BUILD)$@

# Rule to make the kernel image file.
build_binary: $(KERNEL_AS_OBJ) $(KERNEL_SRC_OBJ) $(KERNEL_C_LIB_OBJ))
	$(CC) $(CFLAGS) \
	$(addprefix $(BUILD), $(KERNEL_C_LIB_OBJ)) \
	$(addprefix $(BUILD), $(KERNEL_AS_OBJ)) \
	$(addprefix $(BUILD), $(KERNEL_SRC_OBJ)) \
	-T $(LINKER)  -o $(BUILD)MinOS.elf
	$(LD) $(LDFLAGS) -Map $(BUILD)$(MAP)
	$(CP) $(BUILD)MinOS.elf -O binary $(BUILD)$(KERNEL_TARGET)

# Rule to make the listing file.
build_list: $(BUILD)MinOS.elf
	$(OD) -D $(BUILD)MinOS.elf > $(BUILD)$(LIST)

# Rule to clean the project.
clean:
	rm -f $(addprefix $(BUILD), $(KERNEL_C_LIB_OBJ))
	rm -f $(addprefix $(BUILD), $(KERNEL_AS_OBJ))
	rm -f $(addprefix $(BUILD), $(KERNEL_SRC_OBJ))
	rm -f $(BUILD)MinOS.elf
	rm -f $(BUILD)$(MAP)
	rm -f $(BUILD)$(KERNEL_TARGET)
	rm -f $(BUILD)$(LIST)
	find $(BUILD) -type d -empty -delete

Which unfortunately gives me an annoying error I cannot seem to understand why it is there:

Any ideas about the issue? Furthermore, should I compile my kernel C-library externally and link it with the kernel makefile afterwards? I appreciate your help.

Best regards,
Simon

There appears to be a rogue ")" at the end of the line:

build_binary: $(KERNEL_AS_OBJ) $(KERNEL_SRC_OBJ) $(KERNEL_C_LIB_OBJ))

SimonHA · Post by **SimonHA** » Fri Nov 11, 2016 3:01 am

Okay, that is a bit embarrassing

It does not complain about this anymore. However, how do I deal with this new error?

Code: Select all

/home/simonha/opt/cross/lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/6.2.0/../../../../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld: cannot find crt0.o: No such file or directory

I know that crt0 is the startup routine, which I already have in my boot.s file, where I clean up the BSS etc. before
jumping to my kernel main entry. The boot.s contain a global _start routine so the linker should find this, yet it still complains?

iansjack · Post by **iansjack** » Fri Nov 11, 2016 3:15 am

I would move your startup routines into your own version of crt0.o. There are other solutions, but this is probably the easiest.

Bear in mind that any userspace programs that you want to compile for your system will also need some sort of startup routine. Normally, at the very least, it creates argv[] and argc, and calls main().

SimonHA · Post by **SimonHA** » Fri Nov 11, 2016 3:50 am

Okay, thank you for your help. How do I tell my cross compiler where this crt0.o is?

Icee · Post by **Icee** » Fri Nov 11, 2016 4:30 am

Your LDFLAGS should include a -nostdlib flag which implies -nostartfiles which will stop the linker from trying to locate crt0.o. You'll also need -lgcc when linking.

iansjack · Post by **iansjack** » Fri Nov 11, 2016 5:27 am

I think that Icee's advice is better than mine, so I'd recommend that you try that first.

So far so good. Here is the updated Makefile:

The linker finds the libgcc but does not seem to find the required functions such as '__aeabi_uidiv'?

This might sound trivial, but did you actually compile libgcc (with "make all-target-libgcc; make install-targel-libgcc" IIRC) when building your cross compiler? If you did, you can check whether it contains these functions.

Yes I followed the instructions from the tutorial thoroughly and from a dump (objdump libgcc.a -t) of the file
"/home/simonha/opt/cross/lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/6.2.0/libgcc.a", which I got from the linker I can find it:

You need to put -lgcc after your object files instead of before.

Thank you. That did the trick! I also needed to add -fno-exceptions to the G++ compiler. Now it builds
