Hi, Russell, While adding low level debug support for new board in OMAP2+ family, we came across following error, arch/arm/kernel/debug.S: Assembler messages: arch/arm/kernel/debug.S:138: Error: invalid constant (428) after fixup Following patch fixes it, I am not sure whether this is the right fix, please let us know your comments. (Subject has to be tweaked so that message will reach the list) Regards Afzal From: Afzal Mohammed <redacted> Date: Fri, 14 Oct 2011 12:56:16 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: Fix error upon adding LL debug Upon adding new board LL debug support, if the resultant code addition would not cause PC relative offset of "hexbuf" from "adr r2, hexbuf" (+2) instruction to be representable in a shifted 8-bit value (hence indirectly putting higher aligment requirement on larger offsets), following error occurs, arch/arm/kernel/debug.S: Assembler messages: arch/arm/kernel/debug.S:138: Error: invalid constant (428) after fixup Fix it by bringing "hexbuf" closer so that "adr" can have the offset.
