Building GCC-6.3.0 cross compiler for e6500 (T4240 RDB)

naishabkp — Mon, 13 Feb 2017 09:43:13 GMT

I have built a cross compiler (GCC-6.3.0) for T4240 RDB. Using this compiler i built root file system and my application. I found that Application crashes with SIGILL. I traced it to instruction 'fsqrt' in gnu math library (sqrt,cabs) libm.so.6.

e6500 programming data sheet says many such instructions are not implemented in this architecture. Freescale SDK-2.0 has so many patches to work around this problem, but they are all for GCC-4.9.2. Are there any such patches available for GCC6 or at least GCC5?

Usually new version of the SDK contains new GCC. The SDK 2.0 and updates 1605 - 1701 use gcc-4.9.2.

Look at the poky-ref-manual for gcc changing. See the following pages:

Have a great day,
