Hi,
I have a newbie question re using ARM DS5.
Is DS5 compiler capable of compiling Linux kernel module? or it's limited to user space applications only?


Thanks,
AAli

    [It would be better to start a thread since your question is about a different topic.  But I'll answer it here anyway.]

    Unfortunately, building general native Android code with armcc is not supported* so there aren't any instructions in the documentation, but if you have a standalone object file built with armcc you can link it with other native code. gcc can also compile NEON intrincics.

    • One reason is that the Android C library, Bionic, does not supply all of the functions that the AEABI requires.
