how to use ARM Compiler to make an Android NDK app with ARM DS-5?

rt

  1. while not using DS-5 DS GCC project selection to compile the NDK app, what configurations i have to change in NDK settings.
  2. how to use DS-5 ARM Compiler makefile project? my platform is: os: windows 8.1 64bit, DS-5:ver 5.11 arm compiler is arm compiler 5, it make the hello linux sample has many errors.  eclipse says make [**arm-linux-configure.xml] error! but i make the bare-matl project ok.
  3. DS-5 can using jlink\ulink to debug? debug the NDK app needs?
  • Hi,

    ARM Compiler won't be able to build code for Linux, which is why you're seeing those errors. It is intended for bare-metal.

    Depending on your target platform, the debug probes that you can use in DS-5 are DSTREAM, ULINKpro / ULINKpro D and ULINK2 - see the table here: http://ds.arm.com/developer-resources/supported-devices/

    However, you don't need to use a debug probe at all for Android, just connect via USB and debug that way.

  • arm compiler is more powerful then gcc in arm platform. my translate the u-bool codes to arm compiler platform with keil IDE,the same functions config, armcc platform only 4K Bytes,but  gcc platfrom 204K Bytes。

    i think the bare-metal execution file only the file struct difference form the linux elf execution file, why arm can't support it?

    DSTREAM too expencive
