Does anyone know where I can find the toolchain for developing apps on an A57 (Raspberry Pi 3) in Assembly Language? I am looking in particular for a Windows toolchain that will allow me to cross compile, but I'll take anything at this moment since all I can find are C/C++ toolchains.
Because Windows' maturity is unmatched and I have better luck finding more powerful integrated development environments with intellisense and other niceties there than on any other platform. Also I don't have to have a separate monitor/keyboard/mouse for it or constantly switch a shared monitor/keyboard/mouse between my main PC and Pi.
Well believe the "unmatched" bit if you must.
You don't need an extra keyboard or monitor. Just use ssh to access the Pi via a terminal session (eg. PUTTY under Windows).
If you use something like nfs or sshfs (can WIndows do NFS and sshfs, but it is "unmatched" so I assume it must) you can access the files via the network using your regular IDE for editing, then use the putty terminal for compiling etc.
I believe it because it's factually true, not because I "must" do so based on the current emotional state of a fanboy. Love it or hate it, Windows has the biggest base by far (there's no comparison) and its integrated toolsets are a thing of beauty (Visual Studio anyone?); all other environments have paled in comparison due to the disparate nature of open source apps although thankfully it's getting a lot better (ie. Eclipse) and the gap is closing little by little. When Linux gets a user base anywhere near the size of Windows, is able to run the amount of software Windows can, is able to support the number of peripherals Windows can, and maintain the level of backwards compatibility Windows does, *then* we can talk about whether one should believe the "unmatched" bit. Why I have to spend my time responding to anti-Windows sentiment is beyond me; I hope we don't have to touch on it again as it's irrelevant to the discussion.
That being said, thanks for the alternative approach, I'll definitely consider it if I find a cross-compilation solution that's satisfactory.
