* Package name : binutils-xtensa-lx106 Version : 2.31.1-11+1 * URL : https://www.gnu.org/software/binutils/ * License : GPL Programming Lang: C Description : GNU binary utilities, for Xtensa lx106 core Bare metal binutils for chips using the Xtensa lx106 core, such as the Espressif ESP8266 wireless modules. The programs in this package are used to manipulate binary and object files that may have been created for the Xtensa architecture. This package is primarily for those developing for the ESP8266 platform and is not needed by normal users or developers. The ESP8266 is a commonly used component in the IoT ecosystem; devices such as the SonOff power switches and various wifi lightbulbs are all based upon it, as well as a full Arduino stack being available. Espressif have committed to availability until at least 2026. As this is targeted towards embedded platforms it will be maintained within the Debian Electronics Team. It is built using the binutils-source base package rather than pulling in an additional copy of binutils.
