[gentoo-embedded] Cross dev tool chain - future how to

[Heath Holcomb]

I wrote the x86 embedded gentoo how to (currently at 0.08, and I'm working on 
0.10).  Found here:
http://www.bulah.com/embeddedgentoo.html

I'm in the process of learning how to guild a cross dev tool chain for Linux 
(particular for the ARM).  I'm looking for a small guide that may exist for 
the Gentoo way of setting up a cross dev environment.  Anybody have 
suggestions, short guide, scripts etc....

For Linux cross dev tool chains I have found theses on the i-net:
http://www.tazenda.demon.co.uk/phil/arm-tools.html
http://frank.harvard.edu/~coldwell/toolchain/
http://kegel.com/crosstool/


FYI.....
My company is going to be useing a TI processor+dsp chip called the Davinci 
for a future product.  It's an ARM9 core, DSP for codecs, and other glue 
hardware in a single chip.

I have the development board so now I need to set a tool chain to develop on 
it.  The commercial tool chain they offer is Monitavista's Devrocket, which 
we will purchase just to have.

I'm not sure if it's my place to announce this here or not but one of
our faithful users has been working on a cross development guide which
he hopes to have mirrored to our embedded.gentoo.org site after he
splits it up into two guides. Users are finding his docs to be helpful 
and we keep pumping him full of information.

Do take note this is unofficial still.

I would also recommend to take a look into CLFS project, they have
toolchains for a few platforms, sometimes not covered by crosstool
(like mips64).

Maxim

crosstool should be pretty flexible ... since all you have to do is create 
your own .dat and .sh file and define the TARGET as mips64-unknown-linux-gnu, 
i'd say your comment here about crosstool not having coverage is incorrect

[gentoo-embedded] cross-compile of programms

Hi!

I want to cross-compile cups. My toolchain is in /opt/toolchain/
Is there anything I have to look, if I want to compile it? Does anybody 
know a better solution for making printing work on an embedded system?

Thanks in advance!
Andreas
