    EECS 373: Design of Microprocessor-Based Systems Fall 2012 Lecture 3: Toolchains Instructor: Prabal Dutta Date: October 2, 2012 Note: Unless otherwise specified, these notes assume: (i) an ARM Cortex-M3 processor operating in little endian mode; (ii) the ARM EABI application binary interface; and (iii) the GNU GCC toolchain. Toolchains A complete software toolchain includes programs to convert source code into binary machine code, link together separately assembled/compiled code modules, disassemble the binaries, and convert their formats. Binary program file (.bin) Assembly Object Executable files (.s) files (.o) image file objcopy ld (linker) as objdump (assembler) Memory layout Disassembled Linker code (.lst) script (.ld) Figure 0.1: Assembler Toolchain. A typical GNU (GNU's Not Unix) assembler toolchain includes several programs that interact as shown in Figure 0.1 and perform the following functions: • as is the assembler and it converts human-readable assembly language programs into binary machine language code. It typically takes as input .s assembly files and outputs .o object files. • ld is the linker and it is used to combine multiple object files by resolving their external symbol references and relocating their data sections, and outputting a single executable file. It typically takes as input .o object files and .ld linker scripts and outputs .out executable files. • objcopy is a translation utility that copies and converts the contents of an object file from one format (e.g. .out) another (e.g. .bin). • objdump is a disassembler but it can also display various other information about object files. It is often used to disassemble binary files (e.g.

    The GNU Toolchain for ARM Targets HOWTO Wookey Chris Rutter Jeff Sutherland Paul Webb

    This chapter contains information on building a GNU toolchain for ARM targets. The GNU Toolchain for ARM targets HOWTO Wookey Chris Rutter Jeff Sutherland Paul Webb This document contains information on setting up a GNU toolchain for ARM targets. It details both some pre-compiled toolchains which you can install, and how to compile your own toolchain, as either a native or a cross-compiler. 1. Credits This document is based on the work of Chris Rutter (now, sadly, deceased) who’s ’Building the GNU toolchain for ARM targets’ document was gospel for some time. It eventually became out of date so Wookey (<[email protected]>) updated it and gave it a substantion rewrite, adding the pre-built toolchain info at the same time. Paul Webb (<[email protected]>) did the initial conversion to DocBook, Phil 1 The GNU Toolchain for ARM targets HOWTO Blundell (<[email protected]>) provided info on the current state of the art and comments on the draft. Jeff Sutherland (<[email protected]>) then fixed the bits that were still wrong, and now maintains the doc, along with Wookey. Thanx to all. As well as being on-line as a stand-alone HOWTO, this document is also available as a chapter of the book: A ’Guide to ARMLinux for Developers’ (http://www.aleph1.co.uk/armlinux/thebook.html) 2 This chapter contains information on building a GNU toolchain for ARM targets. 1. Toolchain overview The toolchain actually consists of a number of components. The main one is the compiler itself gcc, which can be native to the host or a cross-compiler.
