Hi Mike,
2011/11/4 Mike Frysinger vapier@gentoo.org:
where can we actually get a toolchain to build nds32 ? support doesn't appear to be in the mainline FSF projects ... -mike
Unfortunately both the toolchain and the Linux kernel haven't commit back to mainline yet. You can only found it in autotools which is in FSF projects. :-( The official explanation is that the company has put the code commit activity in schedule. But I and my colledgue are not sure when will it be started. :-( We don't know if the CEO has signed the agreement with FSF already or not. :-(
Current toolchain we're using is gcc-4.5, binutils-2.19, the newer version is still under developing.
It's pity that only you can found the toolchain with full source from public is very old. I can give you the url as follows. http://osdk.andestech.com/
Currently, only the customers and universities could be able to get the newest toolchain and BSP right now.
U-boot is the first project which Andestech to commit the source code into mainline. Hope this could encourage the company to commit the source code into mainline more active.
Thanks.
