Hi, everybody:
I have port python-2.7 to my arm board. But i don't know how to
port a python package to my embedded system. For example, numpy pakage.
Therefore, is there anybody know how to do this? Thanks!

Could you be a bit more specific?
When you say: " I have port python-2.7 to my arm board.", it could mean:
* You want to run a CPython interpreter on an ARM chip
* You want to compile your Python code into a binary executable for ARM
chips
* Something entirely different
You also say that you need to port numpy. Numpy itself consists of a heck
of a lot of C,
so you will need to compile that with ARM as your target.

Beaglebone Black? Or are you talking about something like MicroPython
running on bare metal?

Hi, everybody:
I have x-compiled the cpython-2.7.10 and ported it on my ARM
board(it is not the Raspberry Pi and the Beaglebone Black). But now, I
have to use numpy python package on my board. So how do i x-compile this
package? Is there anybody know how to do this? Thanks!

point unit, and if yours is one of those, then numpy will be of very
little use on that platform as it requires floating point in the CPU for
speed.

install numpy on the board itself using the normal tools (the same as
you'd build numpy on a PC).

Hi, all:
I installed it by 'pip install numpy' or 'python setup.cfg
install' on my PC, but I do not know how to do this on my arm board.
Because of my arm board does not have tool of pip. could you please tell
me any idea? Thanks!

if you expect anyone here to be able to assist you then you need to
provide the information they need to be able to help.
what board, and what operating system as a bare minimum.

then that link is exactly what he needs to do. In fact it would be a
good idea to install numpy from the repositories using apt-get also, if
it's there.
If he installed python from source (sounds like he did, since he
"x-compiled" it), he should already have pip as it's a standard part of
python since 2.7.9. If pip isn't in the path, he can try:
python -m pip install numpy
and see what happens. Alternatively he can download this:
https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
and then run it with:
python get-pip.py

My suspicion here is that it's not pip's issue - numpy has some fairly

Hi, all:
I have installed the PIP on my arm board now. But the 'numpy'
package includes some of C codes. This part of the C code must be
x-compiled and I don't know how to x-compiled this package. So, is there
a good idea for this issue?

As previously asked: what board are you using? There might be a simple
response to your issue, but you've yet to state the board you're using. You
will not get any useful responses until you answer this very, very simple
question.
If you can't "pip install", you'll probably have to build from source and
the board will likely matter very much. Building from source isn't normally
terribly difficult, but no one here can help you if we don't know your
environment.

perfectly reasonable to install GCC and friends with apt-get. Most of
these packages you are working with were not really designed to be
cross-compiled. If you cannot compile them on the board itself due to
resource constraints, you will have to use qemu and set up an Arm
environment on your PC and do the build there. This will not be as fast
as cross-compiling, but probably would be faster than building on the
Arm device itself.

If you can't compile on your board, setting all this up is a major
undertaking.
