Re: [U-Boot] U-Boot and ELDK
Hello,
2008/9/12 Wolfgang Denk wd@denx.de:
What version would you recommend for arm9 development? The latest is 4.2, is it fine?
ELDK 4.2 for ARM has not been released yet; that will take a few mnore weeks (4...5, I think). Please use ELDK 4.1 for now.
One more question to clarify my doubts: it's valid to use ELDK toolchain for both building bootloader and linux kernel? I ever encountered cases where two distinct toolchains were used to compile u-boot and kernel, target was ARM9. Does it make sense, and what might be the reasons for that?
Thanks.

That's the whole intention of the ELDK - one single tool chain for boot loader, Linux kernel and application code. Anything else is a nightmare and simply not acceptable for production use.

There are several subtly broken tool chains out that that can be used for one thing but not for another. They are just that: broken.
I don't want to suggest that the ELDK has no problems, but at least this is not one of them.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
