Hi, I would suggest using ELDK. I have had an easy time setting it up in the past. $ wget ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/eldk/4.2/arm-linux-x86/iso/arm-2008-11-24.iso $ mount -o loop arm-2008-11-24.iso /mnt $ cd /mnt $ sudo ./install -d /opt/eldk-4.2 Now add "/opt/eldk-4.2/usr/bin/" to your PATH. My preferred method is to instead do $ export CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/eldk-4.2/usr/bin/arm-linux- and use the $CROSS_COMPILE variable when setting the toolchains in my Makefiles. Hope this helps :-)
Thanks Manohar. Where can I get the list of supported CPU family types for ARM architecture like ARM5, ARM7, ARM926EJ etc. In case of Power Architecture (PPC) there is a list as shown in the below link at ELDK site http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/ELDKSupportedTargetArchitectures The same is also mentioned in the table at 3.6.A Table of possible values for $CROSS_COMPILE section of the ELDK at http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/ELDKUsage For us, ARM9 is suitable.
