Disappearing binaries ...   
Hi,

I could not find an appropriate forum for this and hence...

This is regarding a very very strange behaviour I am observing on a freescale powerPC platform. The problem is that few 
binaries (related to USB in my case) just DISAPPEAR from the filesystem when executed once. I mean you can see they are 
present just before executing them, and you execute them and they DO get executed, but then Poof! they are gone:

# pwd
/proc/boot
#
#
# ls u* i*
i2c-mpc5200    io-net         umount         usb
ifconfig       io-usb         uname

Process 24589 (ls) exited status=0.
#
# usb
usb: unable to connect to USB - No such file or directory

Process 32781 (usb) exited status=1.
#
# usb
ksh: usb: not found
# us
ksh: us: not found
# usb
ksh: usb: not found
# ls u* i*
i2c-mpc5200    io-net         umount
ifconfig       io-usb         uname

Process 40973 (ls) exited status=0.
#

Can some one please suggest what could be the reason? The same is happening with "io-usb" binary. Please note that this 
is only happening with some binaries. The othe rbinaries in the same binary (say "kill") are working fine...

I'm really puzzled.

Re: Disappearing binaries ...   
Hi,

I found a work around immediately after posting my query. But I still do not know the reason of the problem.

The "problematic" binaries were included at the begining of the build script (near to libc.so). When I included them in 
the end of the build script, everything is OK. Although I don't undertsand this ...

Thanks,

Rajat

Can You post your complete buildfile ?

RE: Disappearing binaries ...   
Hi,

Here is the buildfile that works. Please note the location of following
binaries in the end: 

usb
io-usb
devu-ehci-8349.so
libusbdi.so

If I move these to just after where libc.so is included, the problemn
appears...

Thanks,

Rajat

Re: RE: Disappearing binaries ...   
Hi Rajat,
have a look here:
http://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/6.3.2/neutrino/utilities/m/mkifs.html#data
and then here:
http://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/6.3.2/neutrino/utilities/m/mkifs.html#XIPvsCopy

So [data=c] directive/attribute is mandatory , if you want to run a programm multiple times.

Hope this helps.
Jeevan
