I find it much quicker to drop them into the uClinux-dist. Otherwise you need to make sure you get the build options right (and many people don't get them right for the various non-mmu target platforms). > How about the "arm-elf" toolchain? Is it the same? Well, yeah, it is the same. It produces arm binaries :-) I expect it will work fine for apps and libs. Being an older version of gcc it may not compile modern 2.6 series kernels cleanly though. > Can i use the arm-elf toolchain to compile my own application directly? I suspect that will work ok.
