How can I relocate main() to 0x00000000?


Here's the nm dump of my program.

00000000 T __ctors_end
00000000 T __ctors_start
00000000 T __dtors_end
00000000 T __dtors_start
00000000 a __tmp_reg__
00000000 T __trampolines_end
00000000 T __trampolines_start
00000000 T setup
00000001 a __zero_reg__
0000003d a __SP_L__
0000003e a __SP_H__
0000003f a __SREG__
00000072 T __vector_15
00000086 T main
000000a8 A __data_load_end
000000a8 A __data_load_start
000000a8 T _etext
00800100 D _edata
00800100 T _end
00810000 T __eeprom_end

The architecture is AVR, and I need to get main() back up to 0x00000000 in order for the chip that I'm running this code on to execute properly. It should be as simple as a linker script, shouldn't it?


Solution

  • It doesn't matter where main() is in memory. Simply put a jump instruction to its address at the reset vector, or 0x0000 in application memory.
