[OpenRISC] Installing gcc commpiler on openrisc linux

[Manaar Alam]

Hello,

I have managed to boot Linux on de0-nano board with openrisc. But the
problem is, this linux image doesn't have any C Compiler in it. How to
install C compiler on the linux?

[OpenRISC] Installing gcc commpiler on openrisc linux

[Stafford Horne]

Hello Manaar,

The openrisc Linux build creates an image with all the tools provided using
busybox (it's in the kernel source tree). So it's basically a busybox
embedded system.  You can Google about adding gcc or another c compiler to
busybox for details.

I don't think it's been done before. Gcc is rather large for de0 nano ;it's
not just gcc but linkers and assemblers and libraries you would want to
link in. However, I wouldnt bet it's impossible if you strip it down.

Hi Manaar,

I think you'll struggle to get GCC to work on the DE0-Nano, and even if
you could it would be dreadfully slow.  Getting modern GCC to work on
anything with less than 1GB is pretty hard.  The usual way of running
the OpenRISC tool chain is as a cross-compiler on a PC.

HTH,


Jeremy

Hi Manaar,

just to add to this and Jeremy's comment: It is not the standard way to
compile inside the target system. Instead you cross-compile on your host
and transfer the binary ELF to the target.

I am not sure if the tutorial already covers adding files to the ramdisk
(the image you load onto the target). Stafford, you are the expert on
this, right?

Cheers,
Stefan

[OpenRISC] Installing gcc commpiler on openrisc linux

[Stafford Horne]

Hello,

There are two ways.

1.
When building the Linux kernel you can place any files you want under /arch
<https://github.com/openrisc/linux/tree/master/arch>/openrisc
<https://github.com/openrisc/linux/tree/master/arch/openrisc>/support
<https://github.com/openrisc/linux/tree/master/arch/openrisc/support>/
*initramfs* and they will be there when you buy the system.

2. Not got this working myself
When you connect to your serial terminal there are ways to transfer through
the serial connection. You can maybe get builds of zmodem working there.

[OpenRISC] Installing gcc commpiler on openrisc linux

[Jeremy Bennett]

Hi

IIRC we used FTP and telnet when running GCC regression tests.  You
probably need to add this to the BusyBox build.

You should also be able to get ssh/scp working, although I've never done
it.  BusyBox also supports NFS, although when I last looked (some years
ago) it was only NFS 3, not NFS 4, which can cause difficulty, because
they don't co-exist happily.

HTH,


Jeremy
