I have a MyBookWorld, whose cpu is a ARM926EJ-S. I'm trying to setup a cross-compile environment on my amd64 laptop using crossdev as explained in the Gentoo Embedded Handbook. I'm unsure about the tuple I have to use. I tried with armv5tej, armv5tejl and armv5telj as arch. So I used combinations like:

  • armv5tej-unknown-linux-gnu
  • armv5tejl-softfloat-linux-gnu
  • armv5telj-softfloat-linux-gnueabi
  • ...


The compilation of gcc always failed because of:
Code:

Unknown arch used in --with-arch=armv5tej


Every arch I try is apparently unknown. The version of gcc crossdev tries to compile is 4.5.2, but I also used different versions, like 4.3.* without any success.

Any suggestion?

P.S.: on the arm device:
Code:


$ cat /proc/cpuinfo

I haven't used crossdev (I use CodeSoucery) but I think you should be using arm-unknown-linux-gnu or arm-unkown-linux-gnueabi.

Moved from Other Things Gentoo to Gentoo on Alternative Architectures as it fits better here.

I don't have this cpu but did some googling and it looks like it should be arm-unknown-linux-gnu for the tuple. I use crossdev for my sheevaplug (armv5tel-softfloat-linux-gnueabi) and it works fine. Sometimes you have to mix and match gcc, glibc, and binutils versions but I successfully have a distcc crossdev working on my amd64 main desktop.

Actually my first try was with such a tuple (I think exactly the same). And the compilation worked. But then I compiled with the new compiler a very small C++ program ("hello world" o something) and the resulting executable seemed not to work well on the arm device. Maybe I should retry.

In facts, I also seen this wiki page, where it says for an arm926ej-s proc (exactly my case) the tuple armv5telj-softfloat-linux-gnueabi is known to work. But it doesn't for me...

Ok, thanks for now. As soon as I have time I will use some arm-... tuple maybe with different versions of gcc and report my success or my failure.
