LinuxQuestions.org - EABI issue

Hi!

I'm currently using a AT91SAM9261-EK evaluation board for developing a text-to-speech solution.

The problem is that the libraries provided by the Acapela Group does not use EABI.

I can successfully compile simple hello world programs (code below) using the codesourcery toolchain and run them on the board but even though I've compiled a kernel with the CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT I can't run anything not using EABI (compiled with ELDK 4.0).

Code:

#include <stdio.h>



int main() {

  printf("hello world!\n");

}

This one compiled with the codesourcery toolchain works fine:

ELF Header:

But this one compiled with ELDK 4.0 does not:

I just get "-sh: <filename>: not found". I can use a hexeditor to look at the file so it's there alright but can't be executed. I've also tried using the GNU ARM-toolchain with the same simple hello world example but that just gives me a segmentation fault when trying to execute the resulting binary on the board.

I could add that compiling and linking my own code with the libraries provided from Acapela works with ELDK 4.0, I just can't run the resulting executables..

Any ideas how I should resolve this issue?
