GCC Release and Binaries: 5.4.0

We have released an updated version of the gcc 5.4.0 toolchain with x86_64 binaries for easy consumption. The new version, tagged or1k-5.4.0-20170218 is available on our github release page.

There are 3 different binaries to choose from:

  • newlib - this is the baremetal toolchain good for running c code directly on the openrisc cpu without an operating system
  • musl - this is our main supported linux capable libc toolchain good for compiling applications to run on linux
  • nolib - this is a special build used for building kernels (like linux), this is specifically used by the kbuild linux build robots.

We have released full toolchain binaries with the following versions:

Change Log

This is mostly just a rebase and version bump release. Notable updates for OpenRISC include.

  • Update to GCC 5.4.0 to allow building toolchain on newer gcc compilers.
  • Newlib patches to fix issue with environ and c++ pointed out during gdb testing.

Note on GDB

This release does not currently contain any GDB binaries. This is because Stafford Horne is currently in progress of getting openrisc GDB fully pushed to upsteam and the is under review.

For details watch for updates on the openrisc mailing list as well as on Stafford’s upstream preparation branch (beware constant rebases.
