Problem with including binary blob

[Daniel Otte-2]

Hello,
I have a problem with including a binary blob (which I converted into a .S file
containing .byte 0x.. statements).
The problem starts with the linker, which says:

/usr/lib/gcc/avr/4.3.3/../../../../avr/lib/avr5/crtm644.o: In function
`__vector_default':
(.vectors+0x50): warning: internal error: out of range error
/usr/lib/gcc/avr/4.3.3/../../../../avr/lib/avr5/crtm644.o: In function
`__vector_default':
(.vectors+0x54): warning: internal error: out of range error
/usr/lib/gcc/avr/4.3.3/../../../../avr/lib/avr5/crtm644.o:(.init9+0x0): warning:
internal error: out of range error
main-huffman-test.o: In function `main':
/home/bg/workspace/avr-huffman/main-huffman-test.c:90: warning: internal error:
out of range error
...

As you might have guessed I'm implementing a huffman decompression algorithm
where I want to include the compressed data as binary blob.
I'm suspecting the compiler to use rcall where a call is needed.

You can download the code at http://nerilex.3dots.de/xchg/avr-huffman.tar.bz2

thanks in advance,
  Daniel

Is telling you not to load your binary data into the vector section.

... cause it probably won't fit--- and indeed, in this case it doesn't.  :)

That is really a nice way to do it, but it places the result in th RAM, not in
the FLASH (sure it is also written to the flash, to load it). So how can I
instruct avr-objcopy to produce a elf-file from a binary where the contents is
only stored in flash.

kind regards,

(Curious, why does your news reader post articles as "quoted
unreadable"?  Even for emails, that's not necessary anymore, as most
servers do understand 8-bit transmissions, and SMTP servers can change
the encoding on the fly if there's really some server that cannot
handle 8-bit.  Unfortunately, news servers have never been taught
this.)
