Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi folks,

Has anyone attempted / succeeded in cross-compiling the PicoMite firmware from a Raspberry Pi ?

I've just tried it on a Pi 3 and the result is unusually large and non-functional.

Best wishes,

Tom

Sounds like you are building a debug version. Also check what compiler version you have. Needs to be at least 10.x . I am using 11.2.1

No, I got that bit right, and I have previously built successfully on a gcc 11.3 Linux docker container hosted on Windows 10.

That would be it, where does this specific GCC version requirement come from ? I can't see it published in neon lights anywhere ... I would have thought the SDK source-code would have included checks for the GCC version if it were critical.

Thanks,

I'm using gcc arm-none-eabi v10.3 which I got from the Arduino IDE packages some time ago,
and has probably been updated by now.
Built my own v12.2 from scratch but had problems linking to certain files, so ditched it.

I also used 10.3 (via the RPi URLs back in July, I think they took me to the ARM download area for gcc etc).
