Cross-compile imx8 source code on Ubuntu 12.04

[zc_tee]

Dear all,

I am starting on imx8 development and would like to build some kernel/application on my Ubuntu 12.04 machine.

While I am looking for the cross compiler, i come across the article below:

https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-Processors-Knowledge-Base/Building-Linux-Kernel/ta-p/1110576#toc-h...

And, i found out that the gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu, is not support on 12.04. It's only support from 14.04 onwards.

Is it possible to copy the cross-compiler for imx8 and use on Ubuntu 12.04? Is there any link where I can download the cross-compiler?

Thank you.

Regards,

Tee

Hi @Zhiming_Liu ,

How about only building the kernel source code? Does it requires Ubuntu 16.04 and above too?
