Compiling code for ARM in Ubuntu

[shanky07]

Hello friends

I am working on LPC2148. I am trying to compile a code for LPC2148 in linux. I am using ubuntu 12.04.But as I am not much aware of linux I am unable to compile it.
Do I need any extra toolchains to compile? if yes then which toolchain I should use? Is there any site where I can get example
codes.

Thanks in Advance.

You need to get a cross compiler for the arm.
I am using arm-none-eabi-gcc
You can check out https://github.com/esden/summon-arm-toolchain
It is a shell script which will automate the build...

Also I think you will get direct binaries from the synaptic (not sure)...

Thank You vinodstanur for reply

When I post this thread i gooled and I found one link in which a command for installing cross compiler was mentioned. It was something like this
sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi

Is it the same that you are talking about ?

I found this command on "https://askubuntu.com/questions/65630/installing-gnu-arm-toolchain"

gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi is for linux on arm.
Here you need to get a cross compiler for bare metal, means there is no operating system running on the chip.
So it will be none-eabi-gcc..

If you have a good internet connection, then that summon arm shell script will work fine... It will automatically do all the downloading and building the tool chain...

Or download Sourcery CodeBench Lite Edition (EABI Release) from https://www.mentor.com/embedded-software/sourcery-tools/sourcery-codebench/editions/lite-edition/

But it says it is lite edition.... Ones u configure the arm-none-eabi-gcc, u are ready to go without any limitations...
