Linux applications and libraries require position-independent code. gcc cannot yet generate PIC MIPS16 code. We've considered fixing it to do so for test purposes, but the code will be awful and much of the MIPS16 code size reduction will be lost. You'd surely do better to use software compression to reduce the size of the code in your flash memory. -- Dominic Sweetman MIPS Technologies The Fruit Farm, Ely Road, Chittering, CAMBS CB5 9PH, ENGLAND phone +44 1223 706205/fax +44 1223 706250/swbrd +44 1223 706200 http://www.algor.co.uk |
