I don't know toolchain coming with ELDK 4.2, but for U-Boot for OMAP 35x you don't need a special compiler. A non-broken arm-linux-gcc or similar will work. While bringing OMAP U-Boot support to mainline, we explicitly switched to a more conservative toolchain configuration (-march=armv5 instead of v7a) to enable more toolchains to work. Try the toolchain you have and ask or report errors if it doesn't work. Best regards Dirk Btw.: For other code, e.g. Linux user space programs which need special optimizations, other toolchain might be necessary, though. _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list [email protected] http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
