GNU MCU Eclipse ARM Embedded GCC

This is the GNU MCU Eclipse (formerly GNU ARM Eclipse) version of the GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain.

Easy install

The GNU MCU Eclipse ARM Embedded GCC toolchain is also available as a binary xPack and can be conveniently installed with xpm:

$ xpm install --global @gnu-mcu-eclipse/arm-none-eabi-gcc

For more details on how to install the toolchain, please see How to install the ARM toolchain? page.

Compliance

This release closely follows the official ARM distribution, as described in the original ARM release text files:

  • gnu-mcu-eclipse/arm-readme.txt
  • gnu-mcu-eclipse/arm-release.txt

Changes

Compared to the ARM distribution, the build procedure is more or less the same and there should be no functional differences, except the following bug fixes:

  • a patch was applied to binutils to fix the 32-bit objcopy bug

Compatibility

The binaries were built using xPack Build Box (XBB), a set of build environments based on slightly older systems that should be compatible with most recent systems.

  • GNU/Linux: all binaries built with GCC 7.2, running in a CentOS 6 Docker container
  • Windows: all binaries built with mingw-w64 GCC 7.2, running in a CentOS 6 Docker container
  • macOS: all binaries built with GCC 7.2

Build

The scripts used to build this distribution are in:

  • gnu-mcu-eclipse/scripts

For the prerequisites and more details on the build procedure, please see the How to build the ARM Embedded GCC binaries? page.

Documentation

The original PDF documentation is available in:

  • share/doc/pdf
