Arm cross compiler naming rules

ARM Cross compiler naming rules

Cross compiler naming generally follows “ processor - System -gcc” Such rules , Generally, you can know the function of cross compiler by name .

Naming rules for cross compilers ：arch [-vendor] [-os] [-(gnu)eabi] [-gcc]

• arch - Architecture , Such as ARM,X86 etc.
• vendor - Tool chain provider , No, vendor when , use none replace
• os - Target operating system , No, os when , use none replace . At the same time, there is no vendor & os Use one none replace .
• eabi - Embedded application binary interface （Embedded Application binary Interface）

for example ：

• arm-none-eabi-gcc, Indicates that the target processor is ARM, Do not run the operating system , Used to compile ARM Bare metal system of Architecture
• armcc Be similar to arm-none-eabi
• arm-none-uclinuxeabi-gcc / arm-uclinuxeabi-gcc, Indicates that the target processor is ARM, be used for uclinux System
• arm-none-symbianelf-gcc, Indicates that the target processor is ARM, be used for symbian System
• arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc, Indicates that the target processor is ARM, be used for Linux operating system ;
• mips-linux-gnu-gcc, Indicates that the target processor is MIPS, be used for Linux operating system ;
• arm-eabi-gcc, Android ARM compiler

Conduct ARM Linux Development , Usually choose arm-linux-gcc Cross compiler .
