Hi Everyone,
We are pleased to announce that support for ARM GCC 9.2-2019.12 [1]
toolchain has been added in meta-linaro [2].
- Support for ARM GCC 9.2 toolchain built from source, steps to use it:
- Add <path-to-meta-linaro-repo>/meta-linaro-toolchain/ to BBLAYERS
in conf/bblayers.conf.
- Configure: GCCVERSION = "arm-9.2" in conf/local.conf.
- Support for prebuilt ARM GCC 9.2 toolchain, steps to use it:
- Add <path-to-meta-linaro-repo>/meta-linaro-toolchain/ to BBLAYERS
in conf/bblayers.conf.
- Configure: TCMODE = "external-arm" in conf/local.conf.
- For AArch64 (eg. qemuarm64 machine in poky distro)
- Configure: EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN =
"<installation-path>/gcc-arm-9.2-2019.12-x86_64-aarch64-none-linux-gnu"
in
conf/local.conf.
- For AArch32 (eg. qemuarm machine in poky distro)
- Configure: EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN =
"<installation-path>/gcc-arm-9.2-2019.12-x86_64-arm-none-linux-gnueabihf"
in conf/local.conf.
Distro testing:
===========
- poky distro (branch: zeus, machines: qemuarm and qemuarm64)
- Build and boot tested.
- RPB distro (branch: zeus, machine: dragonboard-410c)
- Build and boot tested.
- World builds (branch: zeus, machines: qemuarm and qemuarm64) for
following layers:
- poky/meta
- poky/meta-poky
- poky/meta-yocto-bsp
- meta-openembedded/meta-oe
- meta-openembedded/meta-python
- meta-openembedded/meta-networking
Known issues:
===========
- mariadb build failure with ARM GCC 9.2 toolchain built from source:
- Recipe fix patch [3] accepted in OE upstream.
- Native tools dependency issues seen with multiple recipes (psmisc,
xclock, ndisc6, dovecot, man-db, drbd-utils and unbound) when using
prebuilt ARM GCC 9.2 toolchain.
- Fixes posted in OE upstream [4] [5].

Hello,
I'm migrating from Warrior to Dunfell and I'm getting a curious build
failure in gcc-sanitizers.
Here's the full gory detail:
https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/nh4cDKMvgS/
However, the main error is this:
| In file included from
../../../../../../../../../work-shared/gcc-arm-8.3-r2019.03/git/libsanitizer/sanitizer_common/sanitizer_platform_limits_posix.cc:193:
|
../../../../../../../../../work-shared/gcc-arm-8.3-r2019.03/git/libsanitizer/sanitizer_common/sanitizer_internal_defs.h:317:72:
error: size of array 'assertion_failed__1152' is negative
| typedef char IMPL_PASTE(assertion_failed_##_, line)[2*(int)(pred)-1]
I have no idea where to begin with this. I don't even know why
gcc-sanitizers is included in the build, what it does, or why I need it.
I'm building an image with dev packages and gcc, so I guess that's why.
I've hacked meta-arm to patch sanitizer_platform_limits_posix.cc to null
out the macros and that builds fine. I'm sure it won't work, should someone
want to use it, mind you.
Is there something obvious that I should be doing as part of a Warrior ->
Dunfell migration to get this to work?
note: Warrior used meta-linaro-toolchain and for Dunfell, it's moved to
meta-arm-toolchain.
Regards,
Ryan.
