I am programming the host side of a host-accelerator system. The host runs on the PC under Ubuntu Linux and communicates with the embedded hardware via a USB connection. The communication is performed by copying memory chunks to and from the embedded hardware's memory.
On the board's memory there is a memory region which I use as a mailbox where I write and read the data. The mailbox is defined as a structure and I use the same definition to allocate a mirror mailbox in my host space.
I used this technique successfully in the past so now I copied the host Eclipse project to my current project's workspace, and made the appropriate name changes. The strange thing is that when building the host project I now get the following message:
Building target: fft2d_host
Invoking: GCC C Linker
gcc -L/opt/adapteva/esdk/tools/host/x86_64/lib -o "fft2d_host" ./src/fft2d_host.o -le_host -lrt
./src/fft2d_host.o: In function `main':
fft2d_host.c:(.text+0x280): relocation truncated to fit: R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol `Mailbox' defined in COMMON section in ./src/fft2d_host.o
What does this error mean and why it won't build on the current project, while it is OK with the older project?
