errors on building Linux cross-compiler - mapletree - 11-12-2019

   
[attachment=15][attachment=15]
Hi,
I got some errors when build Linux cross-compiler with the following command:

Code:
./configure --prefix=/opt/riscv
make linux

The errors message is shown in the attached screenshot.
Anyone has an idea how to fix it?

Thanks!

This is the same issue as:
https://pulp-platform.org/community/showthread.php?tid=76

Sadly, as far as I see there, it also does not have a solution that seems to have found an answer. We can not replicate the behavior here, maybe someone from the community who has come across this and found a solution? I still suspect that the cross compiler is not in your PATH, i.e. the step mentioned below is missing, or not correct.. 


Quote:To build the Linux cross-compiler, pick an install path. If you choose, say, /opt/riscv, then add /opt/riscv/bin to your PATH now.

Thanks for the reply!
I double checked and made sure that the riscv toolchain path is in the PATH and repeated the commands, but still got the same error. I did see the linux cross compiling tools installed in the specified directory though. I am not sure if the installation is complete with that error. I will try to proceed to see what would happen.

The riscv cross compiler tool chain and the Linux cross-compiler were built successfully with the package obtained from the following risc v github:
https://github.com/riscv/riscv-gnu-toolchain/

The original error (error: unrecognized opcode 'lwu a1, .LANCHOR0') mentioned in the initial post took place when the riscv and linux cross-compiler were build with the package obtained from the pulp platform github:
https://github.com/pulp-platform/pulp-riscv-gnu-toolchain
There might be some files/configurations out of date from the pulp-riscv-gnu-toolchain that results in the error.

Comparing the instructions provided in the README of the two github repositories, the difference seems to be that the pulp-riscv-gnu-toolchain repository README requires a step to build and install the Newlib cross-compiler for all pulp variants. Just wondering if this step is required to build the Ariane platform? what are exactly built and installed by this step?

Thanks,
Mapletree

Are you trying to build a toolchain for Ariane using the toolchain repository for Pulp ?
The Pulp toolchain repository should only be used for Pulp targets. For Ariane, the generic riscv toolchain should be used.

Yes, I am trying to build the Ariane platform, and just noticed that there are ariane-sdk that installs the toolchain as well.

Thanks!
