Multilib 1. and 2. support the standard ARM7TDMI and ARM926EJ-S targets.
|
||||
|
||||
Multilib 3. supports the Cortex-M0 and Cortex-M1 cores.
|
||||
|
||||
Multilib 8. supports the Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 cores, which have a special
|
||||
hardware integer division instruction (this is not present in the A and R
|
||||
profiles).
|
||||
|
||||
Multilib 9. supports the Cortex-M4 cores with a floating point unit.
|
||||
|
||||
Multilib 4. and 5. support the Cortex-A processors.
|
||||
|
||||
Multilib 6., 7., 10. and 11. support the Cortex-R processors. Here also
|
||||
big-endian variants are available.
|

|

Use for example the following GCC options
|

@example

@end example
|

|
||||
to build an application or BSP for the ARMv7-A architecture and tune the code
|
||||
for a Cortex-A9 processor. It is important to select the options used for the
|
||||
multilibs. For example
|
||||
|
||||
@example
|
||||
-mthumb -mcpu=cortex-a9
|

@end example

Newlib and GCC provide several target libraries like the @file{libc.a},
|
||||
@file{libm.a} and @file{libgcc.a}. These libraries are artifacts of the GCC
|
||||
build process. Newlib is built together with GCC. To provide optimal support
|
||||
for various chip derivatives and instruction set revisions multiple variants of
|
||||
these libraries are available for each architecture. For example one set may
|
||||
use software floating point support and another set may use hardware floating
|
||||
point instructions. These sets of libraries are called @emph{multilibs}. Each
|
||||
library set corresponds to an application binary interface (ABI) and
|
||||
instruction set.
|
||||
|
||||
A multilib variant can be usually detected via built-in compiler defines at
|
||||
compile-time. This mechanism is used by RTEMS to select for example the
|
||||
context switch support for a particular BSP. The built-in compiler defines
|
||||
corresponding to multilibs are the only architecture specific defines allowed
|
||||
in the @code{cpukit} area of the RTEMS sources.
|
||||
|
||||
Invoking the GCC with the @code{-print-multi-lib} option lists the available
|
||||
multilibs. Each line of the output describes one multilib variant. The
|
||||
default variant is denoted by @code{.} which is selected when no or
|
||||
contradicting GCC machine options are selected. The multilib selection for a
|
||||
target is specified by target makefile fragments (see file @file{t-rtems} in
|
||||
the GCC sources and section
|
||||
@uref{https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/Target-Fragment.html#Target-Fragment,The Target Makefile Fragment}
