Linaro tool chain in 32-bit system

Hi Margarita,

Thanks for quick response.

I have already studied this document and it is mentioned that:

"Processor SDK Installer is 64-bit, and installs only on 64-bit host machine. Support for 32-bit host is dropped as Linaro toolchain is available only for 64-bit machines."

But i am just curious that is it possible to do go for 32-bit host machine.

As i have been using a 32 bit host system and for this i have to reinstall the system with 64 bit OS.

If their is any way so that i can continue with the 32 bit machine, please suggest it.

With Regards,

Parveen

It seems unlikely you'd need the linaro toolchain specifically. I'd suggest trying the cross-toolchain packaged by debian and ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install gcc-5-arm-linux-gnueabihf   # if available for whatever release you're using

sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf   # otherwise

If a c++ compiler is also needed install the corresponding g++-package too.

Note that while I can understand you don't want to reinstall, I'd strongly suggest making sure any future x86 linux install is 64-bit. I think it's been more than a decade now since the last 32-bit x86 processor was released (maybe excluding some old Atom), so dropping support for legacy 32-bit operating systems and applications on x86 is long overdue.
