I would strongly encourage anyone building tools for ARM and doing active development to be using arm-eabi target rather than arm-elf today . The arm-elf / arm-linux targets are more or less in maintenance only mode at the minute while arm-eabi and arm-linux-gnueabi enjoys all the attention today. cheers Ramana > > >> ----- Original Message ---- >> From: Michael Snyder >> To: paawan oza >> Cc: Hui Zhu ; "gdb@sourceware.org" >> >> Sent: Fri, December 11, 2009 8:41:27 AM >> Subject: Re: porting reversible on arm/mips >> >> paawan oza wrote: >>> >>> My target may be arm/mips. >>> but some of the common hurdles are following. >>> >>> 1) getting virtual machine which has capability gives me arm processor >>> >>> 2) getting the arm linux ISO.
