So what about cross compiling on x86? My company make SW for switching hardware which is mostly PPC (P2020) and we compile everything on large x86 systems.

- tantalor 12y agoI don't understand your question... the article is about automated software build testing on ARM, not the build step itself.
- notatoad 12y agoisn't it? their complaint about the beagles is that they don't have enough ram to be compiling anything without refactoring the build system.
- fhars 12y agoBeing able to cross compile tells you exactly nothing about the state of your native build environment on the target platform. I mean, just because I can successfully cross compile C code for an attiny doesn't prove that gcc has been successfully ported to run on an attiny.
- jamesmiller5 12y agoHaving worked on the Samsung chromebook firmware I second this, you can configure the chromium-os build system to cross compile any piece of the software/firmware stack (or to use a prebuilt package) and most deving was done this way. If it is at all an option, check out the chroot and build system of chromium-os and see if you can import your toolchain packages, the environment should be strait forward to extend wih your own custom dependancies.
