I have generated a new test release of the GNU tools for ARM targets based on GCC 4.6.3. The new test release avoids issues with GCC 4.6.2. Ref:
http://bugs.ecos.sourceware.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1001468#c30 These tools are intended for 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-20120315.cygwin.tar.bz2 Linux-hosted: gnutools/i386linux/test/ecos-gnutools-arm-eabi-20120315.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-20120315.cygwin.tar.bz2 tar jxvf ecos-gnutools-arm-eabi-20120315.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. The patches used in generating the 4.6.3-20120315 test toolchain are identical to those applied for the previous test release (4.6.2-20120125). When connecting to Cortex-M targets using the build of arm-eabi-gdb within this toolchain, you may observe an error message: Remote 'g' packet reply is too long In such cases, it will be necessary to use a GDB target description file as a workaround. A suitable target description file is available at: http://bugs.ecos.sourceware.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1001524#c1 Jifl has developed a patch for this issue and we will be patching GDB in a subsequent build of the toolchain. Thank you for your feedback on the previous test release tooclhain. Your feedback on this new test release is also welcome.
