Adapt px4_nuttx to sama5d3-xplained / cortex-A5 board

Hi,
I want to adapt PX4_nuttx to sama5d3-xplained board. No errors occurred in program compilation. But, there was an error when linking the program.

PX4 nuttx not support Cortex-A, only suport Cortex-M, So, I modify “Toolchain-arm-none-eabi.cmake” file, add “elseif (CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR STREQUAL “cortex-a5”)”, look:
…………
set(cpu_flags)
if (CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR STREQUAL “cortex-m7”)
set(cpu_flags “-mcpu=cortex-m7 -mthumb -march=armv7e-m -mfpu=fpv5-d16 -mfloat-abi=hard”)
elseif (CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR STREQUAL “cortex-m4”)
set(cpu_flags “-mcpu=cortex-m4 -mthumb -march=armv7e-m -mfpu=fpv4-sp-d16 -mfloat-abi=hard”)
elseif (CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR STREQUAL “cortex-m3”)
set(cpu_flags “-mcpu=cortex-m3 -mthumb -march=armv7-m”)
elseif (CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR STREQUAL “cortex-a5”)
set(cpu_flags “-mcpu=cortex-a5 -march=armv7-a -mfpu=vfpv4-d16 -mfloat-abi=hard”)
else ()
message(FATAL_ERROR “Processor not recognised in toolchain file”)
endif()
…………

Why “nuttx_sama5d3-xplained_default.elf’ has no sections”?
Who can help me?

Sorry, my English is poor.
