You first need to download and install the cross compiler under /opt

Then add the following to the path:

/opt/crosstool/arm-linux/gcc-3.3.4-glibc-2.3.2/bin/

You can insert this into your .bash_profile file:

PATH=/opt/crosstool/arm-linux/gcc-3.3.4-glibc-2.3.2/bin/:$PATH
export PATH

gcc is: arm-linux-gcc
g++ is: arm-linux-g++

I have attached a makefile that compiles all of my programs and puts them an a directory called "arm", to keep them separate from ones that run locally. I compile programs for Fedora, TS SBCs, and Sixnet RTUs, so need to keep it all separate.

Make sure you use the compiler option: -mcpu=arm9

If you want to create your own libraries to run on the arm sbc, you need to copy the shared object to:

/opt/crosstool/arm-linux/gcc-3.3.4-glibc-2.3.2/lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux/3.3.4/

This is so the cross compiler can also find them and verify all the library calls at compile time. You also need to copy them to /usr/local/lib on the target SBC and run ldconfig.

It really is quite simple!!

Don.

Below I pasted my makefile inline in case the attachments don't work:

sonow i need to get this piece of c code complied and tranfered to the arm, i think i need to get a set of compiler tools onto the board or onto my host p.c i have two hosts a windows based xp and a linux box running suse 10. What would be the best way to go about this.
 
thanks

Go look at the example code for the LCD display and keypad, and also read the manuals. You will see how to set each pin as either input or output. If you have specific questions after looking at that code and after reading the manual let us know.

i now have the ethernet working and can now telnet into the board and access the web browser, my lecteur has gave me a task to complete
 
he wants a L.E.D to blink on and off, simple i know he wants me to connet an led to the Di/o terminals and write a piece of code that when run will cause it to bloink at different rates, any ideas

To transfer files to the 7200 you should use FTP, but you need to get
the ethernet connection going first. You really only need to set the
IP on your computer to a fixed IP using the same address range as the
7200 default, such as 192.168.0.5. The default IP of the 7200 should
be 192.168.0.50.

Actually, from the command prompt, type "ifconfig" to verify the
default IP of your 7200 is in fact 192.168.0.50.

Once you have the ethernet connection working, you can also telnet to
the 7200. Of course in a browser window, type in http://192.168.0.50
and you should see the default TS web page.

Well, you need to look for someone locally that has experience with
Linux or Unix in general. We can't help you with everything via the
email list.

Also, if you describe you application, you will get a lot more
helpfull suggestions.
