I have generated a new test release of the GNU tools for ARM targets. The new test release avoids an issue with the length of GDB 'g' packet replies when working with Cortex-M targets that was seen with the previous test release. GDB is now built from 7.4.1 sources with an M-profile patch based on current GDB sources. GCC 4.6.3 is now built with additional multilib setup for Cortex-A9 processors.
Thank you to Jifl for the GDB work and to Ilija Kocho for driving everything forward. 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-20120623.cygwin.tar.bz2 > > Linux-hosted: > gnutools/i386linux/test/ecos-gnutools-arm-eabi-20120623.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-20120623.cygwin.tar.bz2 tar jxvf ecos-gnutools-arm-eabi-20120623.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. Thank you for your feedback on the previous test release tooclhain. Your feedback on this new test release is also welcome.
