[ANNOUNCE] Linaro GDB 7.6 2013.05 released
The Linaro Toolchain Working Group is pleased to announce the release of Linaro GDB 7.6. Linaro GDB 7.6 2013.05 is the first release in the 7.6 series. ***NOTE*** Linaro GDB 7.6 2013.05 is identical to the FSF GDB 7.6 release, except for the change in version number and Linaro branding, since all Linaro GDB features were already accepted upstream and are included in the FSF release as-is. Future releases in the Linaro GDB 7.6 series may include additional ARM-focused bug fixes and enhancements.

Semi-hosting on v8 Foundation Model using gnu tools
The v8 Foundation Model User Guide has a bare metal hello world example that uses semi-hosting. The Makefile uses ARM tools, however. Is there equivalent support for this example using a bare metal version of the gnu tools, such as gcc-linaro-aarch64-none-elf-4.8-2013.04-20130422_linux.tar.xz? I took a look, but didn't see a way to do this. Of course, running the Linaro linux port on the v8 Foundation Model allows one to run hello world and much more, but I'm currently only interested in a bare metal target using gnu tools. Thanks, Don ___ linaro-toolchain mailing list linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain

I took a look, but didn't see a way to do this. It is possible but not necessarily easy. Using the binary tools you've downloaded you will want to do something like the following: aarch64-none-elf-gcc -specs=elf-aem-ve.specs ... The -specs option has to be on all your invocations of GCC and G++. You should also invoke the linker through GCC with this option. Then you need to invoke the model, given an image called foo.axf: Foundation_v8 --image foo.axf --semi-host="foo.axf OPT1 OPT2" --quiet Note that the first option to --semi-host is the name of the image again.
