I'm trying to set up a gcc 3.4.3 toolchain on my x64 system. Following the commands in files page, I built the binutils. When it comes to buiild gcc, make...
... Don't use it, unless you absolutely need a version 3.4 compiler, I wouldn't use it. In fact, someone showed me a subtle bug with 3.4 than can happen....

Thank you very much for the link. Sadly, this time my pc fails to compile binutils. Both the scripts and my manual attempts get stuck because of the same error...
... Then you have something radically wrong in your system: missing libraries, missing header files (in /usr/include), something. Binutils is a relatively...
All, I've written a memoory manager for embedded systems - actually specifically for an ARM7 core. Yes, it's been done before, but this one is fast, and it has...
... And the license/usage/redistribution terms are what ??? One has to think about such things these days; a fair amount of the "real world" community won't...
... Good point. I've written all the code myself but I did look at and read other people's code. I did not start from someone else's code and modify it. I plan...

This is somewhat off topic, but I think a lot of people here use Eclipse for embedded development so I'll post it. I am reinstalling Eclipse on Fedora 10. I...
Hello everyone, I'm new to the list and by the way, starting to program with ARM processors. I've been compiling succesfully some simple programs, but when...

... You can't expect to use any part of the PC network stack. It either won't port or it is too bloated to be of any value. For the smaller ARMs like the...
... I figured this out. The 4.3.2 version of gcc (maybe others) had their default compiler flags changed. There is no bug in the compiler per se, it just...
... I would suggest that you hire an Embedded Systems Consultant to have your application ported onto the processor of choice. The questions you ask are so...
... Functions such as (s)printf, (s)scanf, etc., will use floating point routines. Most embedded systems have little RAM / FLASH memory storage and floating...
... Really? In my experience, printf() is wildly popular and implemented almost everywhere. Embedded libraries without floating point tend to include...
... This is true of newlib. The impact of using sprintf() and friends in newlib is **huge**, requiring a whole raft of code be included. ... That is how it...
