meta-arm-toolchain Yocto Layer
==============================
This layer contains recipes for GNU Arm toolchains which could either be built
from source or pre-built toolchain binaries.
Information regarding contributing, reporting bugs, etc can be found in the
top-level meta-arm readme file.
Source Arm toolchain for Linux development
------------------------------------------
Recipes for GNU Arm toolchain built from source are provided under
``recipes-devtools/gcc/``. In order to use Arm toolchain instead of OE core
toolchain, one just needs to override ``GCCVERSION`` in corresponding distro
conf file.
- Eg. to use GNU Arm toolchain version ``9.2``
GCCVERSION = "arm-9.2"
Pre-built Arm toolchain for Linux development
---------------------------------------------
Recipes for pre-built GNU Arm toolchain for Linux development are provided under
``recipes-devtools/external-arm-toolchain/``.
external-arm-toolchain.bb
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This recipe provides support for pre-built GNU toolchains targeting processors
from the Arm Cortex-A family and implementing the Arm A-profile architecture.
Usage
^^^^^
In order to use any of pre-built Arm toolchain versions (8.2, 8.3, 9.2 and so
on), a user needs to download and untar tool-set on host machine at a particular
installation path eg: ``/opt/toolchain/``. Then user needs to specify following
in ``conf/local.conf`` in order to replace OE toolchain with pre-built GNU-A
toolchain:
TCMODE = "external-arm"
EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN = "<path-to-the-toolchain>"
- Eg. for AArch64 (eg. qemuarm64 machine in poky distro)
EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN = "\
<installation-path>/gcc-arm-9.2-2019.12-x86_64-aarch64-none-linux-gnu \
"
- Eg. for AArch32 (eg. qemuarm machine in poky distro)
EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN = "\
<installation-path>/gcc-arm-9.2-2019.12-x86_64-arm-none-linux-gnueabihf \
"
Supported distros and machines
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Since this pre-built GNU-A tool-set simply replaces OE toolchain, so it is
meant to be distro and machine agnostic as long as one is cross-compiling for
Arm A-profile architecture.
Tested distro and machines (for zeus stable release):
1. Distro: poky; machines: qemuarm and qemuarm64 (build and boot tested)
2. Distro: RPB; machines: dragonboard-410c (build and boot tested)
3. Distro: world; machines: qemuarm and qemuarm64. Build tested for following
layers:
- poky/meta
- poky/meta-poky
- poky/meta-yocto-bsp
- meta-openembedded/meta-oe
- meta-openembedded/meta-python
- meta-openembedded/meta-networking
SDK support
^^^^^^^^^^^
Pre-built toochain provides support to build OE SDK which has been tested using
following commands:
$ bitbake core-image-base -c populate_sdk
$ bitbake core-image-base -c testsdk
Note: Currently generated SDK only uses glibc provided by pre-built toolchain.
The cross compiler, binutils, gdb/gdbserver etc. are built from source.
This is something we would like to improve in future in order to package
most of the components from pre-built toolchain instead.
Pre-built Arm toolchain for bare-metal development
--------------------------------------------------
Recipes for pre-built GNU Arm toolchain for bare-metal development are provided
under ``recipes-devtools/external-arm-toolchain/``.
gcc-arm-none-eabi_<version>.bb
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This recipe provides support for pre-built GNU Arm Embedded toolchain for
bare-metal software development on devices based on 32-bit Arm Cortex-A,
Cortex-R and Cortex-M processors.
Supported version: 9-2019-q4-major
gcc-aarch64-none-elf_<version>.bb
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This recipe provides support for pre-built GNU Arm toolchain for bare-metal
software development on devices based on 64-bit Arm Cortex-A processors.
Supported version: 9.2-2019.12
