[U-Boot-Users] *.lds for examples

[Robin Getz]

I noticed there was linker files for the examples directory for two 
architectures (mips and nios), but was struggling to figure out where the 
default came from. If I have architecture specific examples, do I need to 
add lds file for the examples?

I was trying to add an example, and was unable to get things to work 
properly. To start I tried just copying the hello_world.c to a 
smc91111_eeprom.c, and making what I thought were the correct entries in 
the examples/Makefile and top level Makefile (for make clean only).

However, if smc91111_eeprom and hello_world.c are exactly the same, I end 
up with different object files, because the entry point is different. The 
following linker error occurs

/home/rgetz/uClinux/toolchainoutput/bin/bfin-elf-ld.real: warning: cannot 
find entry symbol smc91111_eeprom; defaulting to 00001000

So, where is the entry point set?

The actual make looked OK to me (sorry for the long lines):

Any thoughts?

pointers appreciated.
