Hello. I've got a router TP-Link MR3420. It runs OpenWrt now, it's been installed using this document.
| Code: | sbar@router:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo

sbar@router:~$ file `which busybox`
/bin/busybox: ELF 32-bit MSB executable, MIPS, MIPS32 rel2 version 1, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), corrupted section header size
sbar@router:~$ uname -a
Linux router 2.6.39.4 #1 Mon Aug 22 10:18:45 CEST 2011 mips GNU/Linux

It boots a flashed kernel and uses a root filesystem from the usb flash (via extroot). I wanna run Gentoo the same way (using the same flashed kernel).
I've got a toolkit, that comes with original firmware, that compiles mips32 big-endian files, that run fine on it. Can I use it to create my own stage3? How (any doc, please?)?
| Code: | sbar@laptop /var/tmp $ wget -q https://raw.github.com/sbar/data_structures/master/utils/memview.c
sbar@laptop /var/tmp $ ~/router/mr3420_3220v1/build/gcc-3.4.4-2.16.1/build_mips/bin/mips-linux-uclibc-gcc memview.c -o memview
sbar@laptop /var/tmp $ file memview
memview: ELF 32-bit MSB executable, MIPS, MIPS32 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
sbar@laptop /var/tmp $ scp -P 55 memview root@router:/root/
memview 100% 7970 7.8KB/s 7.8KB/s 00:00
sbar@laptop /var/tmp $ ssh -p 55 root@router /root/memview
4 bytes of memory from 0x7fc9d560 address:
11111111(ff) 11111111(ff) 11111111(ff) 11111010(fa) // this is "-6" in the memory
...

I've tried all available mips-related stage3 archives (copyied some binary files to router from them) but without any success. Some of googled stage3s too.
I've also tried to compile my own toolkit via crossdev (used those documents: one, two):
| Code: | | LANG=C CBUILD=i686-pc-linux-gnu crossdev --without-headers --binutils 2.20.1-r1 --libc 2.11.2 --target mips-softfloat-linux-gnu |
It cannot compile even "hello world" in C, but it worked with a small assembler program:
| Code: | sbar@desktop ~/router/gentoo $ mips-softfloat-linux-gnu-gcc test.c -o test
as: unrecognized option '-EB'
sbar@desktop ~/router/gentoo $ mips-softfloat-linux-gnu-as ~/hello.S -o hello
sbar@desktop ~/router/gentoo $ ls -l hello
-rw-r--r-- 1 sbar sbar 948 2011-09-05 21:18 hello
sbar@desktop ~/router/gentoo $ file hello
hello: ELF 32-bit MSB relocatable, MIPS, MIPS-I version 1 (SYSV), not stripped |
But anyway it doesn't work at my router | Code: | sbar@router:~$ /tmp/hello
-bash: /tmp/hello: cannot execute binary file |
I need something from | Code: | ELF 32-bit MSB executable, MIPS, MIPS32 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
ELF 32-bit MSB executable, MIPS, MIPS32 rel2 version 1, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), corrupted section header size |
How to use a crossdev to get output files like that?
Thank you. |

the router runs ucLibc, but you built glibc-based cross toolchain. Have you tried
linking your "hello" program statically (for testing)?
"gcc -mips32r2" should get you the desired "MIPS32 rel2 version 1" . Not that it matters:
mips32r2 is a superset of mips32 which is a superset of mips1. |

Thank you, that worked: | Code: | sbar@desktop ~/router/gentoo $ mips-softfloat-linux-gnu-as -mips32r2 -o hello hello.S -non_shared
sbar@desktop ~/router/gentoo $ file hello
hello: ELF 32-bit MSB relocatable, MIPS, MIPS32 rel2 version 1 (SYSV), not stripped |
But I can't make it work at the router anyway: | Code: | sbar@router:/tmp$ ./hello
-bash: ./hello: cannot execute binary file
sbar@router:/tmp$ strace ./hello
execve("./hello", ["./hello"], [/* 15 vars */]) = -1 ENOEXEC (Exec format error)
write(2, "strace: exec: Exec format error\n", 32strace: exec: Exec format error
) = 32
exit_group(1) = ? |
Is that because I built a glibc-based toolchain? Or it's all 'cause of code. I've forgotten, that I've commented some lines in this googled hello world, to make it compilable, sorry: | Code: | sbar@desktop ~/router/gentoo $ cat hello.S
# hello.S by Spencer T. Parkin
# This is my first MIPS-RISC assembly program!
# To compile this program type:
# > gcc -o hello hello.S -non_shared
# This program compiles without errors or warnings
# on a PlayStation2 MIPS R5900 (EE Core).
# EE stands for Emotion Engine...lame!
# The -non_shared option tells gcc that we`re
# not interrested in compiling relocatable code.
# If we were, we would need to follow the PIC-
# ABI calling conventions and other protocols.
#include <asm/regdef.h> // ...for human readable register names
#include <asm/unistd.h> // ...for system serivices
.rdata # begin read-only data segment
.align 2 # because of the way memory is built
hello: .asciz "Hello, world!\n" # a null terminated string
.align 4 # because of the way memory is built
length: .word . - hello # length = IC - (hello-addr)
.text # begin code segment
.globl main # for gcc/ld linking
.ent main # for gdb debugging info.
main: # We must specify -non_shared to gcc or we`ll need these 3 lines that fallow.
.set noreorder # disable instruction reordering
.cpload t9 # PIC ABI crap (function prologue)
.set reorder # re-enable instruction reordering
#move a0,0 # load stdout fd
#la a1,hello # load string address
#lw a2,length # load string length
#li v0,__NR_write # specify system write service
#syscall # call the kernel (write string)
#li v0,0 # load return code
j ra # return to caller
.end main # for dgb debugging info. |
I've got this, if uncomment them back: | Code: | hello.S: Assembler messages:
hello.S:31: Error: illegal operands `move a0,0'
hello.S:32: Error: illegal operands `la a1,hello'
hello.S:33: Error: illegal operands `lw a2,length'
hello.S:34: Error: illegal operands `li v0,__NR_write'
hello.S:36: Error: illegal operands `li v0,0' |
Also, if I try to compile it with "gcc" (not with "as") I get this: | Code: | sbar@desktop ~/router/gentoo $ mips-softfloat-linux-gnu-gcc -mips32r2 -o hello hello.S -non_shared
mips-softfloat-linux-gnu-gcc: unrecognized option '-non_shared'
hello.S:16:68: fatal error: asm/regdef.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
sbar@desktop ~/router/gentoo $ mips-softfloat-linux-gnu-gcc -mips32r2 -o hello hello.S
hello.S:16:68: fatal error: asm/regdef.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated. |

I don't know how (using -static flag?) | Code: | sbar@desktop ~/router/gentoo $ cat test.c
#include <unistd.h>
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
char str[] = "Hello, world!\n";
write(1, str, sizeof(str) - 1);
_exit(0);
}
sbar@desktop ~/router/gentoo $ mips-softfloat-linux-gnu-gcc -static -o test test.c
as: unrecognized option '-EB'
sbar@desktop ~/router/gentoo $ cat > test1.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("hello\n");
return 0;
}
sbar@desktop ~/router/gentoo $ mips-softfloat-linux-gnu-gcc -static -o test1 test1.c
as: unrecognized option '-EB' |

It's possible, but I wouldn't count on it.
mips32/big-endian stages are on my TODO list, but I haven't gotten there yet. I'm really not sure of the value of dealing with uclibc either.

This error again. Complete information: build.log, cross-mips-softfloat-linux-uclibc-info.log, cross-mips-softfloat-linux-uclibc-uclibc.log.
Is there any solution? |

That error looks suspicious. MIPS "as" should understand both -EB and -EL.
Please rebuild mips binutils and make sure your cross gcc calls the cross-as,
not the native (x86/x64) one. |

Thank you! I've made /usr/bin/as pointing to mips' assembler, restarted crossdev and gcc worked! But g++ was reporting: "/usr/mips-linux-uclibc/gcc-bin/4.4.2/../../../../usr/lib/gcc/mips-linux-uclibc/4.4.2/libstdc++.so: undefined reference to `__tls_get_addr'" — rebuilding with USE=-nptl fixed it.
Also, I've rebuilt everything with uClibc — now output compiler programs run good at router. So, this way of crosscompiler compilation works for me: "USE=-nptl LANG=C CBUILD=i686-pc-linux-gnu CTARGET=mips-linux-uclibc crossdev -t mips-linux-uclibc --b 2.19.1"
I'll ask there some questions about stage3 compilation later, if there will be any. |

I'm getting some linker errors from different packages, like this (build.log):
| Code: | | /usr/bin/mips-linux-uclibc-ld: cannot open linker script file /usr/mips-linux-uclibc/gcc-bin/4.4.3/../../../../usr/mips-linux-uclibc/lib/libncursesw.so.5: No such file or directory |
How to resolve them? I've got those files: | Code: |
desktop ~ # cd /usr/mips-linux-uclibc/gcc-bin/4.4.3/../../../../usr/mips-linux-uclibc/lib/
desktop lib # pwd
/usr/mips-linux-uclibc/lib
desktop lib # ls -l *curses*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17 Sep 11 20:09 libcurses.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Sep 11 20:13 libncurses.a -> libcurses.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Sep 11 20:55 libncurses.a.5 -> libncurses.a
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 532 Sep 8 20:30 libncurses.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Sep 11 19:51 libncurses.so.5 -> libncurses.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Sep 11 20:52 libncursesw.5.a -> libncursesw.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18 Sep 11 20:49 libncursesw.a

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Sep 11 20:48 libncursesw.so.5 -> libncursesw.so |
I've found different similar problems (one unresolved, two), made this symlink — nothing changed:
| Code: | sbar@desktop /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib $ ls -l /usr/lib/binutils/mips-linux-uclibc/2.18/
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2011-09-07 20:32 include

| Why do you want to run binary in openwrt? You can chroot to external hdd, enable big swap in the center of it and use usual gentoo. |
