So Im trying to cross compile simple program written in assembly (using MARS) to mips executable.
# Purpose: First program, Hello World
.text # Define the program instructions.
main: # Label to define the main program.
li $v0,4 #Load 4into $v0 to indicate a print string.
la $a0, greeting #Load the address of the greeting into $a0.
syscall #Print greeting. The print is indicated by
# $v0 having a value of 4, and the string to
# print is stored at the address in $a0.
li $v0,10 #Load a 10 (halt) into $v0.
syscall # The program ends.
.data # Define the program data.
greeting: .asciiz "Hello World" #The string to print.
first I use
mips-linux-as ./HelloWorld.asm -o HelloWorld.o
then
mips-linux-ld HelloWorld.o -o HelloWorld
and I get an error
mips-linux-xld: warning: cannot find entry symbol __start; defaulting to 00000000004000b0
Simply adding _start section does not work I get same error.So I written simple program in C (HelloWorld.c) and generated assembly using gcc with following command
mips-linux-gcc -O2 -S -c HelloWorld.c
and there is no _start section
.file 1 "HelloWorld.c"
.section .mdebug.abi32
.previous
.gnu_attribute 4, 3
.abicalls
.section .rodata.str1.4,"aMS",@progbits,1
.align 2
$LC0:
.ascii "Hello Worldn\000"
.text
.align 2
.globl main
.set nomips16
.ent main
.type main, @function
main:
.frame $sp,32,$31 # vars= 0, regs= 1/0, args= 16, gp= 8
.mask 0x80000000,-4
.fmask 0x00000000,0
.set noreorder
.set nomacro
addiu $sp,$sp,-32
sw $31,28($sp)
lui $28,%hi(__gnu_local_gp)
addiu $28,$28,%lo(__gnu_local_gp)
.cprestore 16
lui $4,%hi($LC0)
lw $25,%call16(printf)($28)
jalr $25
addiu $4,$4,%lo($LC0)
move $2,$0
lw $31,28($sp)
j $31
addiu $sp,$sp,32
.set macro
.set reorder
.end main
.size main, .-main
.ident "GCC: (GNU) 4.4.5-1.5.5p4"
So what Im missing ? I would like to run this program on my mips box.
Try adding this to your asm file
.globl main
.ent main
.type main, @function
However, you will need to use MIPS Linux syscalls , and not MARS syscalls.
