Install pre-compiled ARM cross-compiler onto Ubuntu Linux.

Tutorial for setting up pre-compiled ARM cross-compiler on Ubuntu Linux.

One thing I didn’t mention in the video. You can install (using apt) C++ and 64-bit cross-compilers with these packages:
g++-arm-linux-gnueabi (32-bit ARM cross-compiler for C++)
g++-arm-linux-gnueabihf (32-bit ARM cross-compiler for C++ with hardware float)
gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu (64-bit ARM C cross-compiler for C)
g++-aarch64-linux-gnu (64-bit ARM C++ cross-compiler for C++)

  • sir thank you for the great content!
    In this example, it seems that the executable file hello_arm is dynamically linked shown in the description got from the file command
    I wonder if we run it on the target, does it throw any dependency error. if I need to compile it statically so that it runs without error, how to compile it statically linked?

  • I read a couple of tutorials about this topic. Most of them do not work. The way presented in your video is easy and works very well. Thanks a lot.

  • Was trying to cross-compile some C/C++ code to ARM assembly on an x86 Ubuntu machine and the docs just weren't cutting it. Super helpful video, thanks a ton!

  • Magic, I found all the GCC documentation confusing and spent hours trying to get the ARM compiler working, followed this to the letter and now working perfectly……..Many Thanks

  • How can I compile my application using cross-compile g++ that generate a EABI4 output ELF?

  • lovely… had a hard time installing cross compiler till i found this vedio. NOW I can start on embedded programming

  • Realy interresting video. I tryed out myselve with a raspberry pi 3b+ and an quite old amd sempron x86 with lubuntu 18.4. I discovert that i can actualy run the cross compiled code on both maschienes but i realy dont know why. The only difference was that i used static linking (-static). Maybe someone can explane this to me.

  • by the way. i v a question that how Python export to bin.
    iv been searched for a long time..
    but the way is not what I want..
    I want just like Linux native bin to compile the Python code..
    thx…

  • Quite helpful 🙂 … this could be extended to include a simple qemu tutorial to run those Arm executables …

  • Thumbs up! Short video, really good information. I'm a 30+ year developer but just now getting started on bare metal programming on the Raspberry Pi – no linux on the target system, just booting into my (kernel) code on the target (Pi 4B+). I am in no way an experienced Pi or ARM developer so vids like this are priceless. Thanks!

  • nice video, anyway how can we cross cimpile library such as libcurl with openssl or zlib for ARM

  • Very good video. Thanks a lot. Could you please make a video about transferring the compiled file to the embedded linux (target machine) and for remote debugging?
    That would be great!

  • Thanks dude, but do you know how to get a cross compiler for ARMv8 , doesn't care if it's for C++ or C
