PlatformIO build error on SiFive when adding an assembly file-CodePudding

I have installed PlatformIO on my vscode, on Ubuntu. I have created a project with Freedom E SDK and added a simple main.c file:

int main(void)
{
    return 0;
}

Then, when I try to build, it works:

However, when I add an completely empty assembly file (I need to use assembly in this project), I get an error:

It looks like it is using a toolchain I had installed before (riscv64-unknown-elf*) and getting an error because of an unknown flag:

riscv64-unknown-elf-as: unrecognized option '-mcmodel=medlow'

What can I do?

CodePudding user response：

I have fixed the problem by adding build_unflags = -mcmodel=medlow to the platformio.ini file, so it is now:

[env:hifive1]
platform = sifive
board = hifive1
framework = freedom-e-sdk
build_unflags = -mcmodel=medlow
