ARM GCC compiler using Fedora 13

[Sid]

Guys,

Anybody having any ARM GCC compiler experience. I am using Fedora 13
and codelite.
I have to get the ARM compiler operational on linux and using
codelite. so i can compile and upload my programs to the test ARM
board in prototype stages.


Calling on all linux experts...for help.


Cheers
Sid

@Sid : I can see two problems: 

1. You need information about cross-compiling etc.

OR 2. You know how to cross-compile apps for arm, but you need to know about integration of codelite and arm-linux-gcc.

Please clarify. You can get lot of help if it's about cross-compiling/ using arm-linux-gcc.

@Vaibhav,

Thanks for your inputs.
Here is my requirement.

1. Write the programs in the opensource ide like codelite
2. Compile the program from codelite menu options, to invoke the arm-
gcc compiler.
3. Compile the output to generate the elf file/hex file, to be copied
to the Arm board [have designed an arm board using nxp 1343 cortex m3]
4, Copy/ load the program into the arm board, and execute it [say
blink led]

This should work on all linux distros like Fedora, ubuntu, etc. Is
openARMLab doing something similar...? i am not sure, new to this
group.

Cheers

Oops almost forgot, it should also work on FreeBSD or its variant
flavors especially MacOSX, and windows.

cheers

@Sid: I just installed codelite on Ubuntu 10.10. It has very detailed settings for compilers. So you go to Menubar> Settings> Build Settings> Here in first tab named 'compilers' > Click `New...` button to create a new compiler and enter `arm-linux-gcc` and other names   of cross compiler tools you're using. 

I think you will also need to add their path in `path` field. About other options etc somebody else can give you better hand since I haven't meddled enough with them. 

So when you use this new compiler for your project you'll get arm-linux executable which you'll copy to your arm Board and execute. 

A word about compilers and Platforms(OSes) : Codelite is multi platform, but you will have different compilers on different platforms. So you can use this setup in almost any OS, but you should have an arm-linux cross-compiler available on that OS.

I am fond of Rajnikant. It feels good when somebody else besides you can do all those amazing things.

Is there anyway to get MontaVista linux on SD card and use to boot?
Or any other RTOS will also do.

Monavista is not opensource... I guess you could go for uCos-II.. partly opensource. Also you need to mention your h/w which is very critical aspect of RTOS and the development envoirnment. Also it would be good if you mention your application as well.,
