I still use them and would want to keep these boards (and maintain them).
I only glimpse at the mailing list from time to time - are there any open problems with these boards that need to be addressed?
No, I just cannot compile it with usual arm-linux-gnueabi- toolchain and that puts a bleep on my bug-radar. Is that normal? Do I need a special toolchain?
I am using an old, locally built toolchain that identifies itself as gcc version 4.3.4 (crosstool-NG-hg_default@1471_4a88cb9bfe8f)
I can take a look at this using a newer toolchain - however, I am in the process of moving, so this will probably take some weeks.
What prebuilt toolchain should I try?
I was more curious if it's possible for me myself to build these. And if so, can that be done with usual arm-linux-gnueabi- toolchain? Or do I need special armeb toolchain compiled in some special way?
I've built a new armeb xscale toolchain available here if you want to try it. https://sourceforge.net/projects/bhundven.u/files/armeb-unknown-linux-gnue abi.tar.bz2/download
I built it on x86_64. I can build it on 32-bit intel if you don't have an x86_64 build box. Let me know.
$ ct-ng show-armeb-unknown-linux-gnueabi armeb-unknown-linux-gnueabi [L X] OS : linux-3.2.8 Companion libs : gmp-5.0.2 mpfr-3.1.0 ppl-0.11.2 cloog-ppl-0.15.11 mpc-0.9 libelf-0.8.13 binutils : binutils-2.22 C compiler : gcc-4.6.3 (C,C++,Fortran,Java,Objective-C,Objective-C++) C library : eglibc-2_15 Tools : dmalloc-5.5.2 duma-2_5_15 gdb-7.3a ltrace-0.5.3 strace-4.6
Ok, that's good. But can someone please answer my question (now there are two)?
- Does usual arm-linux-gnueabi- toolchain work? (possibly if I use some switch
to toggle arm core endianness)
No, the arm and armeb toolchains are different tuples.
- Do I need any special options to build the toolchain?
You have to build an armeb toolchain with armeb as the platform in the tuple. I don't see one on mentorgraphic's site. I'm not sure if you can build a multilib arm/armeb toolchain.
