These are already built toolchains optimized for arm1176jzf-s CPUs, such us in Samsung s3c6410 (mini6410 board) and the Broadcom BCM2835 (Raspberry Pi).

Install

  1. Download the desired toolchain version.
  2. As root (or using sudo) unpack the file
    tar jxvf arm-linux-gcc-4.x-xxxx.xx-arm1176jzfsxf-TuxamitoSoftToolchains-x86_x.tar.bz2 -C /
    This will automatically install it in the folder /opt/TuxamitoSoftToolchains/
  3. Add the binaries location (/opt/TuxamitoSoftToolchains/arm-arm1176jzfsxf-linux-gnueabi/gcc-linaro-4.x-xxxx.xx/bin) to the PATH variable:
    • Temporally: export PATH=$PATH:/opt/TuxamitoSoftToolchains/arm-arm1176jzfsxf-linux-gnueabi/gcc-linaro-4.x-xxxx.xx/bin (for one use)
    • Permanently: adding "PATH=$PATH:/opt/TuxamitoSoftToolchains/arm-arm1176jzfsxf-linux-gnueabi/gcc-linaro-4.x-xxxx.xx/bin" to your ~/.bashrc file
  4. If it is correctly installed then executing arm-linux-gcc -v should show the gcc version.
