Easy install

The xPack Arm Embedded GCC toolchain is also available as a binary xPack and can be conveniently installed with xpm:

$ xpm install --global @xpack-dev-tools/arm-none-eabi-gcc@9.2.1-1.1.1

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:

• distro-info/arm-readme.txt
• distro-info/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.

Compatibility

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

• GNU/Linux: all binaries were built with GCC 7.4, running in a CentOS 6 Docker container
• Windows: all binaries were built with mingw-w64 GCC 7.4, running in a CentOS 6 Docker container
• macOS: most binaries were built with GCC 7.4, running in a separate folder on macOS 10.10.5; GDB cannot be compiled with GCC, so Apple clang was used.

Partial support for Python3 was added to GDB for GNU/Linux and macOS; not yet available on Windows (24469).

Build

The scripts used to build this distribution are in:

• distro-info/scripts

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

Documentation

The original PDF documentation is available in the share/doc folder.
