[color=#FF0000]Solved![/color]

The culprit was a missing space between the -T and the link script.

——————————————————————————————————————

The sketch is the basic blinky example on a chipKIT Uno32 board and I'm using makefiles.

Sketch compilation succeeds with Mpide-2014-03-16 but fails with Mpide-2014-06-05.

With Mpide-2014-06-05, compilation goes fine but linking fails with the message

Builds/embeddedcomputing.a(WSystem.o): In function 'initIntVector': /Applications/Mpide.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/pic32/cores/pic32/WSystem.c:105: Undefined reference to '_image_header_info' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [Builds/embeddedcomputing.elf] Error 1

Error message points to file WSystem.c line 135...

130:void initIntVector(void)
131:{
132:    const IMAGE_HEADER_INFO * pImageHeader = getImageHeaderInfoStructure();
133:    int i = 0;
135:    void * pvOrgIntVec = (void *)pImageHeader->pOrgVector0; 
136:

...and says

Undefined reference to `_image_header_info'

However, _image_header_info is in file wiring.h line 372...

extern const IMAGE_HEADER_INFO _image_header_info;      // this is the header info right before .rodata, defined by the linker

...but I can't find a

const IMAGE_HEADER_INFO _image_header_info;

in wiring.c

The only difference between the two releases is the new pic32_software_reset.S file added to Mpide-2014-06-05 at located at /Applications/Mpide.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/pic32/cores/pic32/.

Any hint?

I have had problems with Ethernet on this version as well... I can actually compile, but it fails when I compile and upload. I was under the impression that there may have been some linker changes as well.

That is because the _image_header_info data structure is defined and allocated in the common linker script. If you are using a makefile, chances are you are not doing what MPIDE does. The linker scripts are designed to work in harmony with MPIDE; breaking from the environment... breaks the build.

I just compiled the blink sketch example for the UNO32 in MPIDE 2014-06--05, and it works just fine.

Why are you attempting your own makefiles?

Is this a makefile generated from embeddedXcode perchance? Can you post the command line it's executing when it generates the error?

Hey Rei, long time no talk!

Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I'm trying to update Arduino-Makefile to the latest MPIDE and running into similar problems.

Hello I been searching, This error is mainly dude to calculation of the memory size calculation after compliation process. it has nothing to do with compliation. refer: http://www.visualmicro.com/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1406483545 even i Have the same problem, I dont kow what to do ..

Its Make file compliation using chipKit.mk I have one on top..

It must be set to Serial baudrate value you are using.

MONITOR_BAUDRATE = 9600

Back to the chipKIT boards... and facing the same problems.

Why are you attempting your own makefiles?

Because the Processing-based IDEs provide the very strict minimum set of features, perform hidden under-the-hood processes and aren't suitable for complex projects with such powerful MCUs at 200 MHz and 512 MB.

Just for fun, I copied the log from MPIDE when performing a verbose build and ran into a Terminal window. Error!

So I don't know what "MPIDE Version not specfied correctly" would mean and the link order is exactly what MPIDE shows in the output pane.
