I am using Eclipse IDE to crosscomplie C++ code.
When I croosscompile Linux / Ubuntu C++ code for Raspberry Pi 3B (ARM7) I have no issues with actually running the code on the target. It all works as expected. I am using just plain "hello word " as test application. No GPIO on 3B.
When I crosscompile identical test code to run on Raspberry Pi Zero - ARMv6l. The code compiles and runs doing unexpected things
After some research I realized that my "hello word" code does not have a clue about what the target hardware is!
I have no idea where did the "arm7" come from.
After more search I came to conclusion / recommendation to CHANGE the Eclipse default toolset to toolset specifically build for ARM processing.
At present I am looking at this developer.arm.com/.../gnu-rm
I am not sure HOW to implement / add this tool to Eclipse.
Not to confuse the issue - I have also found "/tools" folder in my OS and not really sure which resource should be used in my IDE and how.
I know I am not using correct terminology but how does GCC / G++ gets involved with ARM options using --buidl, --host, --target?
Any help / references would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Probably you are using armcc, or armclang. They can also compile c++ code. I do not know there is any independent g++ for arm.
My suggestion is you have to figure out the compiler/toolchain you are using; the compiling flags/parameters;
There is some manual you can check. infocenter.arm.com/.../DUI0472J_armcc_user_guide.pdf
