- Wed Jul 08, 2015 7:38 am #22762 Hi there!

I am linking with 3rd party SDK (statically). All the user code is being put into .irom0.text section (with ICACHE_FLASH_ATTR define). However, the linker complains about undefined references to all of the symbols from that 3rd-party SDK. I believe this is because SDK code is forced to be in the .text section (am I right?).

So, the question is: how to put SDK code into .irom0.text ?

Hard to tell for sure without looking at the library, code that uses it, link command, linker script and linker error messages, but most probably you're not. The section name where the symbol appears doesn't affect symbol definition.

Well, I use esp-rtos-sdk and eagle.app.v6.ld linker script:

Code: Select all/* This linker script generated from xt-genldscripts.tpp for LSP . */

What I actually want to do (figured this out right now) is to move 3rd party library .text segment from .text section to .irom0.text. How can I do this?

You can do it by changing your ld script like this:

where path/to/3rd_party_lib.a is the exact path used in the link command.
