Ilija Kocho has been working with a new set of GNU tools for ARM targets based on GCC 4.6.2. The new tools incorporate support for Cortex-M4 SIMD and FPU instructions. Ref:
http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-devel/2012-01/msg00003.html I have generated builds of these tools intended for wider testing within the eCos community. The test builds can be downloaded from the eCos ftp site and are located under the "gnutools" directory: Cygwin-hosted: gnutools/cygwin/test/ecos-gnutools-arm-eabi-20120125.cygwin.tar.bz2 Linux-hosted: gnutools/i386linux/test/ecos-gnutools-arm-eabi-20120125.i386linux.tar.bz2 Please use a mirror site in your own geographical region to access these files. Sites which mirror the eCos ftp area are listed at: http://ecos.sourceware.org/mirror.html The tools may be extracted into the current working directory from the downloaded archive files by using one of the following commands at a bash prompt: tar jxvf ecos-gnutools-arm-eabi-20120125.cygwin.tar.bz2 tar jxvf ecos-gnutools-arm-eabi-20120125.i386linux.tar.bz2 The Linux-hosted tools should work on most Linux distributions. The Cygwin-hosted tools require a recent Cygwin installation including the "libexpat1" and "libmpc1" packages. Your feedback is welcome.
