Hi everybody! I have downloaded the new ISE and EDK 11 and updated them to 11.3. I have noticed some changes in the way software projects are managed in SDK. My problem is the following: I have built my hardware platform succesfully (its a very simple one with just a couple of peripherals). The I export my hardware design to SDK. Once in SDK I create a software platform and after that a managed make c application project. I add my code and create the linker script. I get this error message one time after the other
************** Validating ELF File **************
Validating ELF Section Addresses with Hardware Address Map... elfcheck -noheader -hw /home/jcgcecilia/Xilinx/projects/EDK/multiplier_test/SDK/SDK_Export/hw/system.xml -pe microblaze_0 mult.elf ERROR:EDK:3165 - elfcheck failed! The following sections did not fit into Processor memory: Section .vectors.hw_exception (0x20 - 0x27) Section .vectors.interrupt (0x10 - 0x17) Section .vectors.sw_exception (0x8 - 0xF) Section .vectors.reset (0x0 - 0x7)
Try using the linker script generation tools to generate an ELF that maps correctly to your hardware design. make: *** [mult.elf] Error 2
The thing is I can build and download to the FPGA he same project if a create the project i Software Projects inside XPS. I have tried several things without succes. I have googled it and nothing.
I ran into the same error building my application. In my case it turned out the error was the base address of my instruction memory. I had erroneously set it to some non-zero address. Try the following:
Go back into XPS and set the base address for the ilbm_bram_cntrlr to 0x00000000
Rebuild the bitstream (Hardware->Generate Bitstream)
Re-export to the SDK (Project->Export ... to SDK)
Right click your application in the SDK and select "generate linker script"
click "OK".
If your error was the same problem, this should recompile your application and successfully build.
