Build Marvell ARMv5 toolchain with Crosstool-NG

Notes: under Ubuntu 16.04

 
0. Prepeare - install required tools



1. Install crosstool-ng

# mkdir -p scratch/ct-ng; cd scratch/ct-ng

# wget http://crosstool-ng.org/download/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng-1.18.0.tar.bz2

# tar xf crosstool-ng-1.18.0.tar.bz2

# cd crosstool-ng-1.18.0

# ./configure --prefix=`pwd`/crosstool

# make && make install

# export PATH="${PATH}:`pwd`/crosstool/bin"

# ct-ng help

This is crosstool-NG version 1.18.0



2. Configure marvell ARMv5 toolchain


# mkdir -p ~/scratch/marvell; cd ~/scratch/marvell

# ct-ng list-samples

 Initially reported by: Alexander BIGGA
 URL: http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2008-06/msg00031.html
 ***********************************************************

 Now configured for "arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi"

# mkdir ~/scratch/src

# mkdir ~/scratch/x-tools

# ct-ng menuconfig

  Paths and misc options -- Local tarballs directory: ${HOME}/scratch/src
  Paths and misc options -- Prefix directory: ${HOME}/scratch/x-tools
  Target options -> Architecture level -> armv5te  # marvell 88F6282


  * Need also to update Kernel and GCC version according to target board


3. Build

# ct-ng builld

....................


 And after build completes, toolchain will be installed in ${HOME}/scratch/x-tools
