Cannot run hello,c on GDB when connected to Ariane via JTAG

[anouarnechi]

Hi
I want to run simple hello.c example So I compiled as following:
riscv64-unknown-elf-gcc hello.c -L linker.lds -o hello.elf
where linker.lds is :

Code:

ENTRY(main)

SECTIONS
{
  // I changed this to the DRAM start addr (0x80000000)
  ROM_BASE = 0x80000000; /* ... but actually position independent */

  . = ROM_BASE;

  .text.init : { *(.text.init) }

  .text : ALIGN(0x100) {
  _TEXT_START_ = .;
      *(.text)
  _TEXT_END_ = .;
  }

  .data : ALIGN(0x100) {
  _DATA_START_ = .;
      *(.data)
  _DATA_END_ = .;
  }

  PROVIDE(_data = ADDR(.data));
  PROVIDE(_data_lma = LOADADDR(.data));
  PROVIDE(_edata = .);

  .bss : ALIGN(0x100) {
  _BSS_START_ = .;
      *(.bss)
  _BSS_END_ = .;
  }

  .rodata : ALIGN(0x100) {
  _RODATA_START_ = .;
      *(.rodata)
      *(.dtb*)
      *(.rodata*)
  _RODATA_END_ = .;
  }
}

and the compilation was successful. Then, I followed the instructions in GITHUB  connected with success to JTAG. the problem that I cannot run the the hello.elf I can only see the disassemble which looks correct. check what I tried:

Code:

~/Desktop/ariane_test/hello$ riscv64-unknown-elf-gdb hello.elf

Thank you

Did you try to use the default linker script?

Did you try to use the default linker script?

yes indeed I used /fpga/ariane.cfg script to connect to the JTAG

[bluewww]

That is not the linker script. It is a OpenOCD script.
