Toolchains for Embedded
Linux Cross Toolchains
Building and testing a glibc or uClibc cross toolchain for Linux target images can be a time consuming process. Even toolchains that may appear at first to be okay, may hide subtle problems that are not discovered until later.Although we provide the resources to completely rebuild any toolchain from scratch, our philosophy is that you should use the pre-built binary toolchains that we recommend. This will allow you to benefit from:
- Build and runtime testing against a large package base
- Optimisations for specific targets
