This is the GNU MCU Eclipse (formerly GNU ARM Eclipse) version of the GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain.
The GNU MCU Eclipse ARM Embedded GCC toolchain is also available as a binary xPack and can be conveniently installed with xpm:
$ xpm install --global @gnu-mcu-eclipse/arm-none-eabi-gcc
For more details on how to install the toolchain, please see How to install the ARM toolchain? page.
This release closely follows the official ARM distribution, as described in the original ARM release text files:
gnu-mcu-eclipse/arm-readme.txt
gnu-mcu-eclipse/arm-release.txt
Compared to the ARM distribution, the build procedure is more or less the same and there should be no functional differences.
The binaries were built using xPack Build Box (XBB), a set of build environments based on slightly older systems that should be compatible with most recent systems.
- GNU/Linux: all binaries built with GCC 7.2, running in a CentOS 6 Docker container
- Windows: all binaries built with mingw-w64 GCC 7.2, running in a CentOS 6 Docker container
- macOS: all binaries built with GCC 7.2, running in a custom Homebrew instance on macOS 10.10.5
The scripts used to build this distribution are in:
gnu-mcu-eclipse/scripts
For the prerequisites and more details on the build procedure, please see the How to build the ARM Embedded GCC binaries? page.
