Cross-compilation tool for MIPS architecture
Some MIPS-based set-top boxes provide six cross-compilation tools GCC, as follows:
· Mipsel-Linux-gcc
· Mipsel-Linux-uclibc-gcc
· Mipsel-uclibc-gcc
· MIPS-Linux-gcc
· MIPS-Linux-uclibc-gcc
· MIPS-uclibc-gcc
What are the differences between these six types? What is the difference?
1) First, the major difference between MIPS and mipsel lies in the big endian and little endian structures.
MIPs corresponds to big endian;
Mipsel corresponds to little endian.
2) second, you must understand the uclibc library.
The uclibc library is a C language library designed for Embedded Linux system development and optimization. It is smaller than gnu c library, but the interface is compatible and easier to configure.
Uclibc can run on standard and MMU-free Linux systems, supports i386, x86, x64, arm, avr32, Blackfin, h8300, m68k, MIPS, PowerPC, superh, iSCSI, and v850 processors.
MIPs-uclibc-GCC indicates GCC compiled using the uclibc library.
3) it is unclear about the third point: "whether to bring the differences between Linux?". Please try again later.
