Hi Maxim, Linaro's arm-eabi toolchain is compiled with option --enable-multilib In the libc folder, you can find all other different libraries.
I have found the reason causing my problem. Newlib implementation of memcpy-armv7a.S uses NEON and it requires "unaligned access" is enabled by the CPU. Which means, if you compile newlib with default GCC cflags, this code will be used, and LDR STR instruction may access unaligned address. My system has disabled CPU unaligned access by setting SCTRL.A to 1, this setting will enable unaligned address checking, once unaligned address is accessed by LDR STR instruction, CPU enters DATA ABORT mode. I have re-compiled this toolchain according to my requirements by adding -mno-unalinged-access to CFLAGS of newlib. This option makes newlib use C version of memcpy, which is a little slower than the NEON version, but it generates code without any unaligned access.
