CW PPC ISA - glibc ("GCC Toolchain") upgrade

[mbenedict]

Is there a place that the "GCC Toolchain" format is documented? Or are newer versions available? Specifically, the application I am porting uses POSIX message queues, so I need at least glibc 2.3.4. However, it looks like the "gcc toolchain V3.4.3" uses glibc 2.3.3. Is there a later toolchain available for download? Other suggestions?

I am running CodeWarrior Development Studio for PowerPC ISA, Linux Application Edition, ver 2.6, Build 60213 targeting an MPC8349e-mITX reference board.

Thank you!
Michael

Hi Michael,

what GCC format are you looking for ??

There is no newer version available as yet from Freescale, you may want to give Google a shot. Please also note that the 3.4.3 GCC tool chain is specific to PA processors based on the e500 core!

Hope this helps...

Voxan,

Thank you for your response. I am still struggling learning how to use CW. When I select a new project, does that mean that I have to know not to select "gcc-3.4.3-glibc-2.3.3-spe" ? Are there other toolchains that do no support e300 cores? Why am I able to select "83xx" processor type after selecting the "gcc-3.4.3-glibc-2.3.3-spe" toolchain if that is not supported?

I guess I am trying to figure out how the above choices in the new project wizard affect the build itself. In a makefile-based project I could just specify the include search path and library but I just don't understand CW's interaction with gcc so I am not convinced that I can append the right flags to make all this happen the way I would expect.

Thank you for all your help!

Michael,

on new project creation your asked to:
* name it
* choose between gcc or Freescale tools, pick gcc.
* choose between Lib/App or Kernel Module project type.
* choose the gcc tool chain from the one installed by CW insataller
* choose the language C or C++
* choose you target
* choose your connection protocol
==> you are done.

Note: there is a file named {CW}/CodeWarriorIDE/cgg_paths.cfg which defined the default gcc tool chain.

Note: targets are unlocked by license keys, not by tool chain.

Hope this helps...

Voxan, Thank you. The only remaining question is: which toolchains support the e300? -Michael
