How do I build an Altera DS-5 project without semi-hosting?

Due to a problem in Altera SOS EDS version 13.0 and 13.1, the  Assembler code required to build a non semi-hosted application is missing.

To work around this problem follow the steps below to download the required Assembler file and then update your linker script to disable semi-hosting.

An example Makefile and Linker script based on the Altera-SoCFPGA-HardwareLib-GNU.tar.gz example from SOC EDS 13.0Sp1 can be downloaded from the link below: ExampleFiles_nonSemiHosted.zip (altera-socfpga.ld, Makefile, reset.s)

Steps to enable non-semi hosted application using Altera Example as template

1. Download reset.o:ExampleFiles_nonSemiHosted.zip
2. Copy / backup your existing Altera linker script altera-socfpga-hosted.ld
3. Change the compile flag
   Before: -lcs3hosted
   After: -lcs3unhosted:  GROUP(-lgcc -lc -lcs3 -lcs3unhosted -lcs3arm)
4. Comment out or remove the following code sections:
   /* Enable arm semihosting */
EXTERN(__auto_semihosting) /* force exit to be picked up in a hosted or os environment */
EXTERN (exit atexit)
   
5. Update Makefile to compile reset.o and point to updated Linker Script from steps 2-4
   #Assembler Flags
AFLAGS := -g -O0 -mfloat-abi=soft -march=armv7-a -mtune=cortex-a9 -mcpu=cortex-a9 -x assembler
#Assembler source files
A_SRC := reset.s
#Original Linker script
#LINKER_SCRIPT := altera-socfpga_hosted.ld
#Link to updated linker script for non-semihosted
LINKER_SCRIPT := altera-socfpga.ld
#Clause to compile reset.o
reset.o:
  -c reset.s -o reset.o
#Updated linker line to add dependency for reset.o
: reset.o
  -T reset.o -o
  -d > .objdump
  > .map


Note:  When editing Makefiles ensure correct Tab and Space rules are followed
 

This problem fixed beginning with the SOC EDS version 14.0
