Comparison of C Compilers on Embedded Development Boards Embedded system development has always been a field that is both challenging and fun in the programming world, especially when conducting project practices on development boards like Raspberry Pi. Among them, choosing a suitable C compiler is one of the important decisions every developer must make before … Read more
Sharing various “pits” encountered during the process of switching the VxWorks operating system to support the RISC-V architecture from the GCC compiler to the LLVM compiler. The speaker, Meng Bin, is a Senior R&D Manager in the VxWorks Product Division at Wind River Systems, China R&D Center. He is an active participant and contributor in … Read more
Efficient embedded systems, if purely pursuing speed and performance, can be resolved by using the highest configuration hardware (high-performance CPUs, large memory, and various good peripherals, etc.). However, this goes against the original intention of embedded systems. As an embedded system is asoftware and hardware system flexibly tailored based on user needs, designing a high-performance … Read more
High-performance embedded systems, if purely pursuing speed and performance, can be addressed by using the highest specification hardware (high-performance CPUs, large memory, and various good peripherals, etc.). However, this contradicts the original intent of embedded systems. As a type of flexible hardware and software system tailored to user needs, designing high-performance embedded systems must consider … Read more
1. Why Not GCC When developing STM32, the compilation toolchain must use gcc-arm-none-eabi. Why not GCC?This relates to cross-compilation in Linux, as we need to compile programs that can run on ARM from a PC. Using GCC will compile programs that run on the PC, so we need to use gcc-arm-none-eabi for cross-compilation~ 2. Introduction … Read more
