hi,

what's the most popular and reliable GNU toolchain solution for ARM
target? i am reading Karim's book 'Building Embedded Linux System'
which introduced how to build a toolchain manually. it's interesting
but seems i have to face with the daunting task of package ( and
patches ) selection.

on the other hand, i heard the 'www.gnuarm.com' which provides
off-the-shelf binary toolchain for ARM, but i dont know how many
people are using it hence i am not sure if it is a popular choice.

what's your choice and opinion? thanks.

Take your pick. Don't build your own!

Or if you are into embedded Linux on a Linux host,
building your own is actually not a bad idea.
buildroot.uclibc.org contains a lot of things
allowing Linux systems to be built, including automatically
building a cross compiler.

www.kegel.com contains a link to crosstool


I have used gnuarm successfully. The other packages should be
similar. If you are a hobbyist then take a look at the
http://www.rowley.co.uk personal license options also.
