A cross-compiler produces binaries for a different architecture (in our case ARMv7). The difference between a Native compiler (gcc) and a cross-compiler(e.g arm-none-linux gnueabi-gcc) is that the Native compiler runs on an architecture (for example x86_64) and produces binaries for the same architecture. configure -target-list=arm-softmmu -prefix= Path to your/Binary_images/Qemu_BinĪRM Cross_Compiler Tool chain installation:Ī quick introduction about Cross_Compiler : $ git checkout remotes/origin/stable-2.5 -b stable-2.5 You can find more information about Qemu. Moreover, this hardware platform runs on the Cortex-A9 core, which is an ARM CPU that is included in many smartphones today.Ĭross compiler tool chain: arm-2014.05-29-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux 2 Here I am using the Versatile Express product to emulate because it’s well supported by the mainline Linux kernel,by the mainline UBoot and by mainline QEMU. Since i don’t have ARM boards and i will be using an emulated platform i.e QEMU for learning, it’s possible to control and debug many aspects of the system, and also that it’s safer to experiment to do on a virtual machine without the risk of breaking a physical board which might cost u buy one more. Now lets look in to some basics elements of Embedded Linux System and compile a Linux kernel for an ARM architecture from scratch.

In My previous Tutorial about Buildroot explains the complete Embedded Linux Emulation on ARM Versatile Board (QEMU) using automated Buildroot tools.
