I didn't care about the call0 abi yet. Is it used by the esp8266?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Inspecting some C examples I've compiled with PlatformIO for ESP8266 shows use of callx0 for the non-rtos SDK. My goal was just to test the cross compiler, but the RTL failed with error 2020031404 (in tcpuparamanager.init_values) which seems to suggest an ABI must be specified. Neither of the options I tried satisfied the assembler however.<br></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>According to the Xtensa ISA 4.3.8 the SEXT instruction is optional (and some others too) and apparently not implemented for ESP8266 according to core-isa.h in ESP8266_RTOS_SDK (<a href="https://github.com/espressif/ESP8266_RTOS_SDK/blob/master/components/esp8266/include/xtensa/config/core-isa.h">https://github.com/espressif/ESP8266_RTOS_SDK/blob/master/components/esp8266/include/xtensa/config/core-isa.h</a>). This explains why xtensa-lx106-elf-as does not recognise the SEXT instruction.</div><div><br></div><div>It seems that a different instruction sequence should be used for sign extension for the lx106 subarch.</div><div><br></div><div>Also core-isa.h indicates XCHAL_HAVE_WINDOWED = 0, which I take to mean that the LX106 toolchain doesn't know/implement the windowed ABI, which explains why setting the FPC ABI to windowed caused as to flag retw as unknown.<br></div></div></div>
