Dear All,
I would like to have newer toolchain for an old ARM OABI system
running uClinux-dist
with FLAT binaries.
CPU is based on ARMv4 instruction set. There is MMU but was selected
not to be used.
Is there any suggested/known-to-work combination of GCC, uClibc,
binutils to use with
uClinux OABI system?
Best Regards,
Piotr

Why? OABI is 11 times slower at FP thaem eabi, even without an FOU

Pefect for Debian

It depends which specific SoC you are compiling for

ARMv4 or ARMv4t ?
EABI implies Thumb interworking so doesn't work on ARM4.
I know various people have proposed patches including the Debian crew but
I've yet to get EABI running on my old Balloon boards. While it's now of
academic interest only, we've frozen that product, does anyone know of a
tool chain combo for EABI on ARMv4 without Thumb ?

Never saw it - however the last time I was searching for it it was
like 4 years ago. For armv4t - no problem :) You see - I really doubt
you can run linux without MMU unit.

OpenEmbedded has machines based on armv4 e.g. strongarm
and uses EABI and it does work.

Why OABI?
Because this is how it started several years ago and there are many
devices deployed.
The processor core seems to be Faraday's FA526 which is based on ARMv4
instruction set.
Having EABI would be easier but OABI is the reality.
Regards,
Piotr
