RE: Difference in assemble language

[Daniel dot Andersson at combitechsystems dot com]

Hi Richard,

I have just come to the knowledge that i cannot use files from ARM STD when
i am building an application with GNU-tools. After i corrected the below
problem a lot of other problem appeared. It seams that i have two option.
One is to re-write the cstartup_angel.s that i am trying to assemble so it
complies with GNU tools. The other is to find a project that is up and
running and take the startup-file from there. Do you know of any such
project? 

Currently i am setting up an AT91 EB40 board with all its registers

As to the below mail I tried with the following:

arm-elf-as -o cstartup_angel.o cstartup_angel.S

.....but unfortunately i got the same errors i.e 

bash.exe-2.04$ arm-elf-as -o cstartup_angel.o cstartup_angel.S
cstartup_angel.S: Assembler messages:

cstartup_angel.S:27: Error: bad instruction `import main'
cstartup_angel.S:29: Error: bad instruction `import |Image$$RO$$Limit|'

..and so on....

Isn't there a GNU assembler that can take an ARMASM-file as an input?

Hmm, are you sure 'as' isn't your native assembler?  shouldn't you be 
using arm-<target>-as here?

This seems to confirm the above.

Clive's other comments about the directive statements still holds.
