toolchain name for building linux kernel?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

Some years ago, I used to use sparc-ab-elf- to build linux kernel.

I thought that tool was for building bare-metal program. (because linux kernel is a kind of bare-metal program itself)

We had also sparc-ab-linux- that were used for compiling application that runs on linux.

 

Recently, I found a website that I should use aarch64-linux-gnu tool to build the kernel.

I tried following it and it generated vmlinux file. (I can’t find the web page link, but I’m sure I wrote that procedure down when I built vmlinux)

Now I find it strange, because the tool name ‘aarch64-linux-gnu-‘ seems to be the one for compiling application on linux!

Am I missing something? Could anyone clarify what is wrong with my idea?

 

Chan
