Basic question - AM3517 eXperimenter Kit

Keith,

Edited Answer.

It should be arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc or arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++

If you need to include a library such as a math lib, then you would need the -lm flag added to the end of the compile command.

Please post back if you have any troubles.

Hi Keith,

      Browse through the below link, which provides all the necessary details :

 Hope this helps

Thanks, I feel like I'm getting closer.

I don't think I have 'arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc'.  Is that the name if the host system is a Linux system?   My host system is Win7.  

I have 'arm-none-eabi-gcc'  I am now looking at http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/doc9876/getting-started.pdf  On page 20 there is an example application and commands for compiling.  I don't know what '-T' option to use, and without it I get linker errors as they describe.    Maybe all I need is the correct '-T'

I'm assuming that if I get this compiled with the right options, I can put it on the experiemter kit, chmod 755, and run it. 

It doesn't sem like what I am doing is that unusual.  If needed, I will can go to a Linux (OpenSuse 11.3) host computer.

Hi Keith,

arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc is the name of the compiler binary that would be used to Cross Compile an application for a target AM3517 EVM or many other ARM / Linux target systems from T.I.

I've installed Code Sourcery lite on my Host Windows XP machine and built and run simple test programs. Unfortunately I don't have a win7 PC to test with.

For my XP PC, the Code sourcery Lite tools installed at this location: C:\Program Files\CodeSourcery\Sourcery G++ Lite\bin

I will install Code Sourcery on my win7 PC at home this evening, but I would expect something similar to XP.

The Code Sourcery tools you want are: - Sourcery G++ Lite 2009q1-203 for ARM GNU/Linux

Here is the correct link for the code sourcery tools: http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/release858  

There is a windows installer version.

Thanks again Jeff.  I think we're on to something.   I think I have Sourcery G++ Lite 2010.09-51 and the compiler there has the different name.  It did work for the BSL test package, just not my simple program.  Anyway, since this morning I  used a Linux (Opensuse 11.3) on a virtual box to install the 2009q1 version and followed the  the other gentleman's post above. above.  It worked!  But, I still want to do this under Windows.   So, I will install the 2009q1 version in windows and see what happens, and come back here and tell.

OK, I installed the older version and now my hello.c program compiles and runs on the eXperimenter board.  Great!!  compiler is now called

arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc

as you said.  However, now the board support library (BSL) test program supplied by Logic for the board does not compile.  The makefile expects the other compiler name....
