In addition to the the binary archives and the package meta data, this project also includes the build scripts. ## Overview This open source project is hosted on GitHub as [`xpack-dev-tools/arm-none-eabi-gcc-xpack`](https://github.com/xpack-dev-tools/arm-none-eabi-gcc-xpack) and provides the platform specific binaries for the [xPack GNU Arm Embedded GCC](https://xpack.github.io/arm-none-eabi-gcc/). The binaries can be installed automatically as **binary xPacks** or manually as **portable archives**. ## Release schedule This distribution plans to follow the official [GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain](https://developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/open-source-software/developer-tools/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm/downloads/) distribution, by Arm. ## User info This section is intended as a shortcut for those who plan to use the GNU Arm Embedded GCC binaries. For full details please read the [xPack GNU Arm Embedded GCC](https://xpack.github.io/arm-none-eabi-gcc/) pages. ### Easy install The easiest way to install GNU Arm Embedded GCC is using the **binary xPack**, available as [`@xpack-dev-tools/arm-none-eabi-gcc`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@xpack-dev-tools/arm-none-eabi-gcc) from the [`npmjs.com`](https://www.npmjs.com) registry. #### Prerequisites The only requirement is a recent `xpm`, which is a portable [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) command line application. To install it, follow the instructions from the [xpm](https://xpack.github.io/xpm/install/) page. #### Install With the `xpm` tool available, installing the latest version of the package and adding it as a dependency for a project is quite easy: ```sh cd my-project xpm init # Only at first use. xpm install @xpack-dev-tools/arm-none-eabi-gcc@latest ls -l xpacks/.bin ``` This command will: - install the latest available version, into the central xPacks store, if not already there - add symbolic links to the central store (or `.cmd` forwarders on Windows) into the local `xpacks/.bin` folder. The central xPacks store is a platform dependent folder; check the output of the `xpm` command for the actual folder used on your platform). This location is configurable via the environment variable `XPACKS_REPO_FOLDER`; for more details please check the [xpm folders](https://xpack.github.io/xpm/folders/) page. For xPacks aware tools, like the **Eclipse Embedded C/C++ plug-ins**, it is also possible to install GNU Arm Embedded GCC globally, in the user home folder: ```sh xpm install --global @xpack-dev-tools/arm-none-eabi-gcc@latest ``` Eclipse will automatically identify binaries installed with `xpm` and provide a convenient method to manage paths. #### Uninstall To remove the links from the current project: ```sh cd my-project xpm uninstall @xpack-dev-tools/arm-none-eabi-gcc ``` To completely remove the package from the global store: ```sh xpm uninstall --global @xpack-dev-tools/arm-none-eabi-gcc ``` ### Manual install For all platforms, the **xPack GNU Arm Embedded GCC** binaries are released as portable archives that can be installed in any location. The archives can be downloaded from the GitHub [Releases](https://github.com/xpack-dev-tools/arm-none-eabi-gcc-xpack/releases/) page. For more details please read the [Install](https://xpack.github.io/arm-none-eabi-gcc/install/) page. ### Versioning The version strings used by the GCC project are three number string like `10.3.1`; to this string the xPack distribution adds a four number, as the Arm version, but since semver allows only three numbers, all additional ones can be added only as pre-release strings, separated by a dash, like `10.3.1-2.3`. The fifth number is the xPack release. When published as a npm package, the version gets a sixth number, like `10.3.1-2.3.1`. Since adherance of third party packages to semver is not guaranteed, it is recommended to use semver expressions like `^10.3.1` and `~10.3.1` with caution, and prefer exact matches, like `10.3.1-2.3.1`. ## Maintainer info - [How to build](https://github.com/xpack-dev-tools/arm-none-eabi-gcc-xpack/blob/xpack/README-BUILD.md) - [How to make new releases](https://github.com/xpack-dev-tools/arm-none-eabi-gcc-xpack/blob/xpack/README-RELEASE.md) - [Developer info](https://github.com/xpack-dev-tools/arm-none-eabi-gcc-xpack/blob/xpack/README-DEVELOP.md) ## Support The quick answer is to use the [xPack forums](https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/xpack/); please select the correct forum.
