Hi everybody
Has anyone use GCC toolchain with ARM Cortex-M3 Softcore in FPGA instead of Keil MDK?
I am preparing for a few test on a FPGA development board and I want to use GCC as toolchain. I don't know is even possible to use GCC with softcores.
Thanks,
Jose P
Why should it not be possible? GCC is "just" a compiler. And if it is the correct compiler for your softcore (here CM3) then it will generate the right code.
But if the GCC is for Microblaze, I won't work with CM3 ;-)
Hi 42Bastian Schick, thanks for your reply.
I mean, I haven't see or found any documentation about how to use GCC for deploy on softcore Cortex-M3.
I want to use GCC, and GNU/Linux, to deploy a couple of examples, but I don't know where to start.

There are a zillion of examples on how to use gcc with Cortex-M3. Whether soft-core or not does not have any relevance.
