what is  bare-metal GCC toolchain

kaushal

Hello Friends,

the Development board which i have is Altera SoC Cyclone V, and license which come along with this is entitled DS-5 altera Edition toolkit.

Altera ppl inform me that


  1. This toolkit doesn't include a license to the ARM Compiler.
  2. Altera SoC EDS provides a bare-metal GCC toolchain from Mentor Graphics Corporation and a Linux GCC toolchain from Linaro.

now my question is what is

bare-metal GCC toolchain and Linux GCC toolchain...?

    Hello!

    bare-metal means without an operating system.

    The difference between the two is that one is using Linux whereas the other one isn't.

    GCC is the GNU Compiler (Collection).

    So the toolchain you have uses the GNU Compiler rather than the ARM Compiler.
