arm-2009q3.tar.bz2

Put this installation package mv in the new arm directory under / usr/local / directory

tar -jxvf /usr/local/arm/

After unzipping, a new directory arm-2009q3 will be generated in the current directory

Inside the bin directory, ls sees all the tools in the cross-compile chain as follows

arm-none-linux-gnueabi-addr2line #Call stack information for locator crash during debugging

arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gprof #Very useful debugging tool

arm-none-linux-gnueabi-ar #Tools for generating static libraries

arm-none-linux-gnueabi-ld #linker

arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gdb #Very useful debugging tool

arm-none-linux-gnueabi-as #What is this?

arm-none-linux-gnueabi-nm #Symbol Viewing

arm-none-linux-gnueabi-c++ #What is this C++?

arm-none-linux-gnueabi-c++filt

arm-none-linux-gnueabi-ranlib

arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++

arm-none-linux-gnueabi-readelf

arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc

arm-none-linux-gnueabi-size

arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc-4.4.1

arm-none-linux-gnueabi-sprite

arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcov

arm-none-linux-gnueabi-strings

arm-none-linux-gnueabi-strip

arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gdbtui

How do I verify that the installation was successful?

./arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc -v

Found a stack of printed messages, and finally

gcc version 4.4.1 (Sourcery G++ Lite 2009q3-67) This means we have successfully installed

Then let's add this directory to the system's environment variables

vi ~/.bashrc

Then add at the end

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/arm/arm-2009q3/bin

Note that this will only work if you exit the current console and enter again

Then create symbolic links for these tools

There is a script, just copy it directly to / usr/local/arm/arm-2009q3/bin

In fact, the above steps can be accomplished with a script. In order to save some time in setting up the environment in the future, I have written a one-click installation script envsetup.sh here.

#!/bin/bash

Place the package in the same directory as the script when you use it and execute. envsetup.sh
