Hi everyone,
I would like some help with selecting the right toolchain for pocketbeagle (and possibly beaglebone black if it will work for it).

Looking at the Linaro site:
 There is the toolchain gcc-linaro-7.2.1-2017.11-x86_64_armv8l-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz
Which I believe is the correct version since pocketbeagle has the armv8.

But looking at the on-line howto's for cross compiling it seems this one is suggested gcc-linaro-7.2.1-2017.11-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz

What would the difference in these toolchains be? V7 to V8 arm? Or would the non-V8 toolchain be for beaglebone and v8 for pocketbeagle?
What I would like to do is cross compile on Ubuntu from a PC and transfer the application to the pocketbeagle.



Thanks!

Robert Nelson

The PocketBeagle is based off of TI's AM335x, which is a Cortex-A8,
part of the ARM V7 architecture..

Thus use the "gnueabihf" option...
