New Features and Enhancements

Bugs Fixed in this Release

User reported Github issues fixed in this release can be found here:
https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/toolchain/milestone/10?closed=1

Known issues

  1. CenOS 6.x hosts are not supported any longer for both running prebuilt tools as well as for building tools, see #202.

  2. GDB compilation may intermittently fail due to unwanted regenerating intl/plural.c, see #212.

  3. [Jira P10019563-38842] Ashling Opella-XD drivers of version 1.2.6 and above to work with ARC GNU IDE require to run the Ashling GDB server separately and select "Connect to a running GDB server" in the Debug Launch.

    To run the Ashling GDB server use the following from a command prompt:

    C:\AshlingOpellaXDforARC> ash-arc-gdb-server.exe --device arc-em

    Other supported devices are arc-hs, arc-600 and arc-700.

    See section "3.2 Configuring the Ashling GDB Server" in the Ashling Opella-XD ARC User manual for more details.

  4. Newlib's libgloss doesn't support RF16 configuration of ARC cores when building for nSIM with "GNU Hostlink", see #231. But with use of "MetaWare Hostlink" RF16 configuration might be used now, see https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/newlib/blob/arc-2021.03/libgloss/arc/readme-hostlink.md for more details.

  5. Non-multilib toolchain built for ARC EM doesn't contain libdw_uart.a for EMSK, see #262

  6. Binutils bug #431 causing pop-up with warning when using ar utility on Windows host. See #431 (comment) for work-around.

Please report any problems by filing an Issue in GitHub here.

Note: The toolchain is only supported for 64-bit versions of Linux hosts. 32-bit Linux hosts are not supported.

Pre-release

This is the first release candidate of 2021.09 version of the GNU Toolchain for 64-bit DesignWare ARC HS6x Processors.

Please note that ARC64 toolchain only supports ARC HS6x processors, while for ARCompact (ARC600 & ARC700) & ARCv2 (ARC EM & ARC HS3x/4x) processors GNU toolchain from https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/toolchain/releases/tag/arc-2021.09-rc1 must be used and vice versa.

Currently only 2 toolchain flavors are available in pre-built form for ARC64: little endian bare metal & glibc Linux toolchains.

GNU Documentation PDF files can be found online here https://foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors.github.io/toolchain.

Toolchain Versions

  • Binutils pre-2.38 with ARC patches
  • GCC 11.2 with ARC patches
  • GDB pre-12 with ARC patches
  • newlib 3.2.0 with ARC patches
  • glibc 2.34 with ARC patches

New Features and Enhancements

This is the first release of ARC GNU tools for ARC64 processors (namely ARC HS6x)

Known issues

  1. CenOS 6.x hosts are not supported any longer for both running prebuilt tools as well as for building tools, see #202.
  2. There's no support of ARC64 processors in ARC GNU IDE at this point, it will be added in the subsequent releases.

GNU Toolchain for ARC Processors, 2021.03-rc1 Pre-release
Pre-release

This is the first release candidate of 2021.03 version of the GNU Toolchain for DesignWare ARC Processors.

GNU Documentation PDF files can be found in share/doc directory of installed toolchain, as well as online here https://foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors.github.io/toolchain.

A list of useful how-to instructions can also be found on the GNU Toolchain for DesignWare ARC Processors Documentation wiki.

Toolchain and IDE Components Versions

  • Binutils 2.36.1 with ARC patches
  • GCC 10.2 with ARC patches
  • GDB 10.1 with ARC patches
  • newlib 3.2.0 with ARC patches
  • uClibc-ng v1.0.34
  • glibc 2.33
  • Eclipse 2020-03 4.15.0 with CDT 9.11.0
  • OpenOCD 0.9+ upstream commit 30203b3d8b, with ARC support.

This release of GNU toolchain and IDE is supported by CGEN IPlib (TCF generator) version 1.0.53 and later.

New Features and Enhancements

  • Binary distribution

    • Supported host operating systems: Windows 10 64-bit, Ubuntu 16.04.x, 18.04.x, CentOS/RHEL 7.x
    • No longer compatible with CentOS/RHEL 6.x due to GDB 8.3 and newer requirement for C++11 support in the compiler. Still it's perfectly possible to build Elf32 & uClibc toolchains without GDB on CentOS/RHEL 6.x.

  • Toolchain Build Scripts

    • Documentation update

  • GCC

    • Significantly improved support of reduced register file configurations (RF16), for example when -mcpu=em_mini is used for building.
    • Bug fixes

  • GDB

  • Binutils

    • Updated to Binutils 2.36.1, see upstream release notes for more details: 2.36 release & 2.36.1 patch-release
    • Bug fixes

  • glibc

    • Updated to the upstream 2.33 release

  • uClibc-ng

    • No changes, the same version is used

  • Newlib

  • Eclipse plugins

    • Eclipse 2020-03 is used as a base
    • Bug fixes

Bugs Fixed in this Release

User reported Github issues fixed in this release can be found here:
https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/toolchain/milestone/9?closed=1

  • Improved support of ARC processors with reduced register file (RF16 configuration), see: #327, #231, #354 & #355.
  • Fixed building of GDB on CentOS/RHEL 7.x hosts, see #328.

Known issues

  1. CenOS 6.x hosts are not supported any longer for both running prebuilt tools as well as for building tools, see #202.

  2. GDB compilation may intermittently fail due to unwanted regenerating intl/plural.c, see #212.

  3. [Jira P10019563-38842] Ashling Opella-XD drivers of version 1.2.6 and above to work with ARC GNU IDE require to run the Ashling GDB server separately and select "Connect to a running GDB server" in the Debug Launch.

    To run the Ashling GDB server use the following from a command prompt:

    C:\AshlingOpellaXDforARC> ash-arc-gdb-server.exe --device arc-em

    Other supported devices are arc-hs, arc-600 and arc-700.

    See section "3.2 Configuring the Ashling GDB Server" in the Ashling Opella-XD ARC User manual for more details.

  4. Newlib's libgloss doesn't support RF16 configuration of ARC cores when building for nSIM with "GNU Hostlink", see #231. But with use of "MetaWare Hostlink" RF16 configuration might be used now, see https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/newlib/blob/arc-2021.03/libgloss/arc/readme-hostlink.md for more details.

  5. Non-multilib toolchain built for ARC EM doesn't contain libdw_uart.a for EMSK, see #262

  6. Native toolchain for ARC HS is not usable due to wrong build configuration.

Please report any problems by filing an Issue in GitHub here.

Note: The toolchain is only supported for 64-bit versions of Linux hosts. 32-bit Linux hosts are not supported.

GNU Toolchain for ARC Processors, 2020.03

This is release 2020.03 of the GNU Toolchain for DesignWare ARC Processors.

GNU Documentation PDF files can be found in share/doc directory of installed toolchain, as well as online at embarc.org.

A list of useful how-to instructions can also be found on the GNU Toolchain for DesignWare ARC Processors Documentation wiki.

Toolchain and IDE Components Versions

  • Binutils 2.34 with ARC patches
  • GCC 9.3 with ARC patches
  • GDB 10-prerelease with ARC patches
  • newlib 3.2.0 with ARC patches
  • uClibc-ng v1.0.31
  • glibc 2.30 with ARC patches
  • Eclipse 2020-03 4.15.0 with CDT 9.11.0
  • OpenOCD 0.9+ upstream commit 30203b3d8b, with ARC support.

This release of GNU toolchain and IDE is supported by CGEN IPlib (TCF generator) version 1.0.53 and later.

New Features and Enhancements

  • Binary distribution

    • Supported host operating systems: Windows 10 64-bit, Ubuntu 16.04.x, 18.04.x, CentOS/RHEL 7.x
    • No longer compatible with CentOS/RHEL 6.x due to GDB 8.3 and newer requirement for C++11 support in the compiler.
      Still it's perfectly possible to build Elf32 & uClibc toolchains without GDB on CentOS/RHEL 6.x.

  • Toolchain Build Scripts

    • Documentation update

  • GCC

  • GDB

    • Binutils & GDB now use the same code base however for simplicity & compatibility of build-system we still keep separate branches for each component
    • GDB code is based on what will become v10.0

  • Binutils

  • glibc

    • No changes since 2019.09 release

  • Eclipse plugins

    • Eclipse 2020-03 is used as a base
    • Bug fixes

Fixes and improvements in the Release compared to Release Candidate 2

  1. Minor documentation updates

Fixes and improvements in Release Candidate 2

  1. Building of "Hello world" application in ARC GNU IDE for EMSK board: #259

  2. GDB compilation on macOS: #245

  3. Added ARC HS4x CPU templates in ARC GNU IDE (Jira P10019563-40739)

Bugs Fixed in this Release

User reported Github issues fixed in this release can be found here:
https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/toolchain/milestone/7?closed=1

Known issues

  1. CenOS 6.x hosts are not supported any longer for both running prebuilt tools as well as for building tools, see #202.

  2. GDB compilation may intermittently fail due to unwanted regenerating intl/plural.c, see #212.

  3. [Jira P10019563-38842] Ashling Opella-XD drivers of version 1.2.6 and above to work with ARC GNU IDE require to run the Ashling GDB server separately and select "Connect to a running GDB server" in the Debug Launch.

    To run the Ashling GDB server use the following from a command prompt:

    C:\AshlingOpellaXDforARC> ash-arc-gdb-server.exe --device arc-em

    Other supported devices are arc-hs, arc-600 and arc-700.

    See section "3.2 Configuring the Ashling GDB Server" in the Ashling Opella-XD ARC User manual for more details.

  4. Newlib's libgloss doesn't support RF16 configuration of ARC cores when building for nSIM, see #231.

  5. Non-multilib toolchain built for ARC EM doesn't contain libdw_uart.a for EMSK: #262

Please report any problems by filing an Issue in GitHub here.

Note: The toolchain is only supported for 64-bit versions of Linux hosts. 32-bit Linux hosts are not supported.

Known issues

  1. CenOS 6.x hosts are not supported any longer for both running prebuilt tools as well as for building tools, see #202.

  2. GDB compilation may intermittently fail due to unwanted regenerating intl/plural.c, see #212.

  3. Ashling Opella-XD drivers of version 1.2.6 and above couldn't be used with ARC GNU IDE (Jira P10019563-38842).

  4. Newlib's libgloss doesn't support RF16 configuration of ARC cores when building for nSIM, see #231.

  5. GDB compilation fails on macOS hosts, see #245 and upstream bug-report https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25731. Thus we're not providing pre-built binaries fror macOS in RC1, will be added in RC2.

  6. Linkage of some application for ARC EM fails, see #259.

Please report any problems by filing an Issue in GitHub here.

Note: The toolchain is only supported for 64-bit versions of Linux hosts. 32-bit Linux hosts are not supported.
