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.
