Linux Arm Cross Compiler settings

The arm cross compiler is required to compile arm applications under the host PC (x86).

Although the tool can be compiled from scratch, but it is too troublesome, and generally not necessary.

The compiled binaries that are currently available are primarily provided by the Mentor Graphics.

The main steps are as follows:

1. Download the relevant package

$ wget https://sourcery.mentor.com/GNUToolchain/package12813/public/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/ arm-2014.05-29-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2

2. Unzip

$ tar XF arm-2014.05-29-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2

3. Setting

Append the arm gcc directory to the PATH environment variable in the $HOME/.BASHRC:

Path= $PATH: $HOME/arm-2014.05/bin

4. Use

$ arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc/tmp/helloworld.c
