Howto configure Angstrom for hard float

[Nate]

Hi all,

How do I globally configure Angstrom to use hardfp? I found the following discussion in a Google group:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/beagleboard/BndeIRB_pY8/Cl5kdqAvIUoJ

Which appears to suggest that it simply requires adding the ARM_FP_MODE = "hardfp" definition to the local.conf file. However, I tried that and still see packages referencing soft-stubs.h.

I am trying to build the TI DSP software and am getting a failure on the linuxutils package:

| arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-gcc -I. -Wall  -c -g -D__DEBUG -o debug/cmem.o470MV cmem.c

ERROR: Task 263 (/projects/angstrom/sources/meta-ti/recipes-ti/linuxutils/ti-linuxutils_2.26.01.02.bb, do_compile) failed with exit code '1'

The cross tools are built for hardfp but it appears linuxutils is still trying to reference softfp.

Is the ARM_FP_MODE the proper flag for global Angstrom FP configuration? Does something need to be done after local.conf is modified for it to take affect?

Thanks
