Compiler on Linux for XScale pxa255

Question

Anyone does know how to compile a C source code for XScale PXA255 on Linux?

Thanks

Answer 1

Xscale seems to be some ARM (v5) variant. And the GCC (Gnu Compiler Collection) suite can target ARM.

Did you consider using a GCC cross-compiler (hosted on a Linux/AMD64 desktop, and targetting your ARM)?

You could compile from source GCC. Don't forget to follow the GCC installation guidelines . Be careful to follow them (there are also companies selling that service).

You also need a (cross-) assembler and linker. They are provided by binutils and you can compile it in a cross- way (targetting your system).

The target operating system also matters.
