| - | ====== Upgrading from Codesourcery G++ Lite to the GCC ARM Embedded toolchain ====== | ||
| - | ===== Background ===== | ||
| - | For several years CodeSourcery (now Mentor Graphics) maintained and released the GCC for ARM compiler binaries, bundled with an easy to use installer, under the name //Codesourcery G++ Lite//. Unfortunately, their website now states that "Sourcery CodeBench Lite releases for ARM EABI, ARM GNU/Linux, ARM AARCH64-Linux, IA32/IA64 GNU/Linux and ELF are no longer available". | ||
| - | |||
| - | Fortunately, the ARM organization itself is actively maintaining and enhancing the GCC compiler for the ARM architecture. At regular intervals they release pre-built binaries of the toolchain under the name [[https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded|//GCC ARM Embedded// ]]. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Several OpenBLT demo programs that target microcontrollers with an ARM core, make use of the //Codesourcery G++ Lite// toolchain. You can still find a download link to a working version of the toolchain on the page that describes the demo specifics. However, is it recommended to switch to the //GCC ARM Embedded// toolchain. | ||
| - | |||
| - | This page describes how to upgrade from the //Codesourcery G++ Lite// to the //GCC ARM Embedded// toolchain, to the point that you can build the OpenBLT demo programs without any further changes. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Upgrade procedure ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | TODO | ||
| - | * Uninstall G++ Lite. | ||
| - | * Download GCC ARM Embedded | ||
| - | * Install GCC ARM Embedded with path option checked! | ||
| - | * Download gnu win32 build binaries zip-archive | ||
| - | * Copy zip-archive contents to the GCC ARM Embedded bin directory | ||
