[En-Nut-Discussion] ARM Alignment for Threads

[Bob Wirka]

Ole,

Yes, you are correct. Actually, I had done that as a test when the flash programming was not working.

I removed that (back to 4 byte alignment), and everything works properly.

So, only the 8 byte stack alignment is needed.

Thanks,

The above does not aligne .data to 8 byte, but .ramfunc

The . operator always sets the current location counter. And here you
are just "behind" the .data segment. Right?

Thanks!

I'll dig out my Ethernut5 and will test it as well.

bye,


Ole
