Where arm-elf toolchain for cygwin & win32 ?

Sep 07, 2003 9 Replies

Hello,



can you tell me where i can get an updated precompiled arm-elf-toolchain (gcc, linker,...) for cygwin and win32 ? Currently i am using arm-elf-gcc version 3.0.3, it seems to have a bugs inside.



Greetings,



Martin


Just noticed a link to binaries on

But those are even older; v2.95!

To be more specific:

1) go to
formatting link
2) 3) click "gnutools"

I'm sure you can figure it out from there...

Grant Edwards grante Yow! You were s'posed at to laugh! visi.com

FWIW: Those ARM toolchains don't include big-endian support libraries.

I've got a script I used to build the same toolchains w/ big-endian support. Let me know if you want a copy. If you leave all the architectures enabled and add big-endian support, you end up with about half a gigabyte total. You can pare down the libraries after the fact if you want.

Grant Edwards grante Yow! I'm not an at Iranian!! I voted for visi.com Dianne Feinstein!!

They also don't contain newlib (a standalone C library) or libstdc++ support, since those tools were intended for eCos. This may not be a problem if you're going to have your own startup/libc. Of course you could just use eCos too! You don't have to use the real-time multi-threaded kernel in eCos. You can just disable it and have the same type of startup context that newlib would give you.

But if you want newlib, if you build the tools from source according to the instructions at you should be fine. It's only the precompiled ones that had newlib removed.

So _that's_ why I never got my toolchains as small as the downloaded ones!

Grant Edwards grante Yow! Here I am in 53 at B.C. and all I want is a visi.com dill pickle!!

You're right, they don't include a libc (e.g. newlib), but they do include libstdc++.a and .la files. Is there something besides those files that's missing for libstdc++ support?

Grant Edwards grante Yow! If Robert Di Niro at assassinates Walter Slezak, visi.com will Jodie Foster marry Bonzo??

Sorry yes you're right. I thought they weren't meant to be there. libsupc++ should be, but I thought libstdc++ shouldn't be. It needn't be certainly.

newlib ;-). Since that libstdc++ will have been built to expect newlib.

Thanks -- I didn't know that (though a simple ldd probably would have told me). I left both of them in for my toolchain, since I only have to support big-endian ARM7TDMI, they don't take up much space.

Grant Edwards grante Yow! Do I hear th' at SPINNING of various visi.com WHIRRING, ROUND, and WARM WHIRLOMATICS?!
