Does Linaro aarch64 gcc toolchain support Cortex-A53/A57 performance tunning.

2013-10-09 Thread Zenon Xiu
Hi team,

In the GCC.pdf of gcc-linaro-aarch64-none-elf-4.8-2013.08, it says that -mcpu 
supports cortex-a53, but when I tried to build a simple hello bare metal 
application with -mcpu=cortex-a53 option, gcc reports,

Error: unknown cpu `cortex-a53'
Error: unrecognized option -mcpu=cortex-a53

Could you please confirm whether Cortex-A53/A57 performance tunning is 
supported?

Thanks.

Best Regards.

Hi Will,

Thanks a lot for your reply.
I tried -mtune=cortex-a53, no error is reported, it works.

One further question, do you have a plan to support Cortex-A57 tuning?

Thanks.

Best Regards.

I believe this is an assembler error, as the assembler only supports
these CPU types on binutils trunk. Have you tried passing
-mtune=cortex-a53 instead?
