Ingenic MIPS GCC 7.2.0 Toolchain to compile m3k native port
vitt13:
I tried to use Ingenic MIPS GCC 5.2.0 Toolchain but I gave up with non resolved many of "relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_GOT16 against ..." errors. It looked like bunutils problem.
Then I searched anything newer and found Ingenic MIPS Toolchain on FTP.
Direct link: ftp://ftp.ingenic.cn/Ingenic-MIPS-Toolchain/releases/ingenic-mips-toolchain-r5.0.4/
latest has date stump Oct 13, 2021
Mirror https://www.mediafire.com/folder/7x0zksrlh8d3r/Ingenic_MIPS_Toolchain
So I tried to use Ingenic MIPS GCC 7.2.0 Toolchain (mips-linux-gnu-ingenic-gcc7.2.0-glibc2.29-fp32-r5.0.4.tar.bz2) to compile m3k native port. It supports "-march=xburst" flag BTW
I had few problems with compiling but all has been resolved.
First is changing to OUTPUT_FORMAT("elf32-tradlittlemips") in *.lds or removing that string at all.
Second is LD from that GCC 7.2.0 does not accept inlined function in header. It leads to errors at linking stage.
Third is again "relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_GOT16 against ..." caused by "-lgcc" flags in app/plugins/plugins.make and libs/rbcodec/codecs/codecs.make
some codecs build failed so I just changed "-lgcc" in link command to
mips-linux-gnu-ingenic-gcc7.2.0/lib/gcc/mips-linux-gnu/7.2.0/libgcc.a (for two particular compiling failed situation)
and
mips-linux-gnu-ingenic-gcc7.2.0/lib/gcc/mips-linux-gnu/7.2.0/soft-float/libgcc.a (for other files)
for added $(LDGCC720)

Yeah, that's my fault. I'll fix it. In C++ 'inline' alone is enough to make the compiler happy but apparently not in C. I guess GCC 4.9 is just more permissive.
The libgcc and linking issues you ran into are probably due to using a Linux toolchain. I'm by no means an expert on setting up cross compilers, but using a 'hosted' compiler to build freestanding code can lead to problems unless you're very careful with the flags you use.
FWIW, the only use of any vendor toolchain would be access to the MXU ISA (Ingenic's SIMD instruction set) and even then, we'd still need optimized assembler routines for decoding, mixing, etc. in order to get any benefit out of it. It's a large undertaking.
vitt13:
I'm confused with *.rock and *.codec compiling. Output *.rock and *.codec files are not ELF (I compare it with daily builds binaries).
That is why any attempt to run any app/game/plugin gives panic
--- Code: ---*PANIC*
Exception occurred: Coprocessor Unusable [0xf4fffdb1] at 0x83e027ac (stack at 0x80002838)
--- End code ---
Even with recommended GCC 4.9.2 MIPS toolchain compiled with rockboxdev.sh
Can anybody provides me for reference configure command, Makefile and make log for M3K target?
Here is mine, make log with Rockbox's toolchain GCC 4.9.2
https://privatebin.net/?8788ffeb2d7f6580#A67RVAcnSafvQvGGe8ZGHR1bkjutwa4Fef2Zkzat963g
make log https://www.mediafire.com/file/1p0yzx6munwlwk4/make_log.zip/file
and output files "battery_bench.*" https://www.mediafire.com/file/a1xdlyghfbk53va/output_files.zip/file
for example, is it correct command from make log to make *.rock file? Or something goes wrong?
--- Code: ---/usr/local/bin/mipsel-elf-objcopy -O binary /home/fix/rockbox/rockbox/build/apps/plugins/battery_bench.elf /home/fix/rockbox/rockbox/build/apps/plugins/battery_bench.rock
--- End code ---
---
Edit: I compared with wrong directory. Header *.rock files from daily build and compiled by me is the same. Anyway something else caused *PANIC*.
amachronic:
Coprocessor unusable probably means it's trying to use the FPU. The Rockbox kernel isn't floating point aware and afaik the FPU is disabled. There's no reason it couldn't be enabled but the effort outweighs the benefits, since nearly everything in Rockbox is integer-only.
Try adding -msoft-float to your CFLAGS.

Thanks. I previously removed that flag for Ingenic TC (toolchain) GCC7.2.0, so with that flag it leads to
--- Code: ---/home/users/ylli/ingenic_toolchain/project/src/gcc-7-2017.11/libgcc/soft-fp/mulsf3.c:(.text+0x84): relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_GOT16 against `.rodata'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
--- End code ---
in linking stage for wma.elf and few other codecs.
But it linked without error (just with few warnings) with hard-float libgcc.a for mulsf3.o, ltsf2.o, floatsisf.o, adddf3.o, fixdfsi.o, extendsfdf2.o, _divdi3.o
--- Code: ---/usr/local/mips-linux-gnu-ingenic-gcc7.2.0/bin/../lib/gcc/mips-linux-gnu/7.2.0/../../../../mips-linux-gnu/bin/ld: Warning: /home/fix/rockbox/rockbox/build5.2.0/lib/rbcodec/codecs/wma.elf uses -msoft-float (set by /home/fix/rockbox/rockbox/build5.2.0/lib/rbcodec/codecs/wma.o), /usr/local/mips-linux-gnu-ingenic-gcc7.2.0/lib/gcc/mips-linux-gnu/7.2.0/libgcc.a(_divdi3.o) uses -mhard-float
--- End code ---
To work around with error "relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_GOT16 against `.rodata'" I compared two generated wma.map files from Rockbox TC GCC4.9.2 and Ingenic TC GCC7.2.0.
I see more ".eh_frame" sections in map generated with Ingenic TC GCC7.2.0 but don't understand how it can help.
I googled only two solutions to work around with it, and only one for MIPS: add -mxgot to CFLAGS but it does not help.
---
Also I see the difference here like "linker stubs" and ".pic.". So is it toolchain problem?
--- Code: --- .text.stub.7 0x0000000083d07c20 0x10 linker stubs
0x0000000083d07c28 .pic.__mulsf3
.text 0x0000000083d07c30 0x10 /usr/local/mips-linux-gnu-ingenic-gcc7.2.0/lib/gcc/mips-linux-gnu/7.2.0/libgcc.a(mulsf3.o)
0x0000000083d07c30 __mulsf3
--- End code ---
---
I found why -mxgot does not help. GCC docs for target MIPS says "These options have no effect unless GCC is generating position independent code."
So I run readelf for libgcc.a/mulsf3.o from GC 7.2.0 and got output
--- Code: ---Flags: 0x70001007, noreorder, pic, cpic, o32, mips32r2
--- End code ---
for libgcc.a/mulsf3.o from Rockbox GCC4.9.2
--- Code: ---Flags: 0x1001, noreorder, o32, mips1
--- End code ---
I guess that "pic" flag is the issue.
