| Building Cross Compiler for Raspberry Pi using Crosstool-NG Posted: 29 Aug 2013 11:07 PM PDT A cross compiler is a compiler that runs on one platform/architecture but generates binaries for another platform/architecture. With devices like the Raspberry Pi, where you really don't have much CPU or memory to work with, if you're doing any heavy compiling (like when working on the kernel) a cross compiler is the only way to go. While there are a lot of different methods for building cross-compilers, by far the quickest and easiest is to use crosstool-ng. This is a set of scripts that bring up a menuconfig-like interface to choose your compiler settings, then goes off and downloads what it needs, patches it, configures it, builds it and installs it all for you. For this article I use:
Crosstool-NG OverviewCrosstool-ng is a set of scripts that bring up a menuconfig-like interface to choose compiler settings. The project aims to build a toolchain. Crosstool-ng also support alternative components such as uClibc, glibc, or eglibc. InsightOur example will build a cross compiler toolchain for Raspberry Pi, which use ARMv6 and running Linux as operating system. This will assume our OS on Pi only Linux and we cannot use this toolchain to build for other OS (RISC OS, etc). Obtain MaterialDownload crosstool-ng from their official site. The latest version available per August 30th 2013 is crosstool-ng 1.18. Once the download complete, extract the content. We also need to install crosstool-ng to our system. Let’s say we want to install it to /opt/crosstool-ng To complete above, do following: wget http://crosstool-ng.org/download/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng-1.18.0.tar.bz2 tar xjf crosstool-ng-1.18.0.tar.bz2 cd crosstool-ng-1.18.0 ./configure --prefix=/opt/crosstool-ng make make install export PATH="${PATH}:/opt/crosstool-ng/bin"For installation of crosstool-ng, make sure you do Preparing EnvironmentWe need a working directory for compiling our cross-compiler. This will contain toolchain configuration, downloaded files, and intermediary build results. This is not where the final location the toolchain will end up. You should reserve some space, at least 3.5GB. Create a directory, you choose it. For example, I will use ~/working as the working directory. Go to that directory. mkdir ~/working cd ~/working Compilation & InstallationGo to working directory. Run ct-ng script to display you a configuration menu. Make sure /opt/crosstool-ng/bin is in your search path. ct-ng menuconfig You should see some configuration options there. Here is the important stuff: Path and misc options
Target options
Operating System
Binary utilities
C Compiler
Once the configuration done, save it. To build the toolchain, do following: ct-ng build This should take some times, minutes in my case. Once it done, you should have cross toolchain reside on /opt/cross/x-tools/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi/bin. You might want to add this to your search path. TestingFirst, test the version arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-gcc --version Now test for the compilation. Write this source code as test.c. #include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("Hello, world!\n"); return 0; }and compile it. arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-gcc -o test test.c | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

[ AROS ]Open source Amiga like operating system at the api level. This version runs as a task under Linux to take advantage of the drivers available inside the GNU Linux OS Core. Amiga itself is a family of personal computers sold by Commodore in the 1980s and 1990s. While we can’t say AROS is independent OS (as being built on top of GNU/Linux) we still group it as different OS.

RaspbianRaspberry Pi + Debian = Raspbian. This project is to create a hard float port of Debian Wheezy (7.x) armhf for the Raspberry Pi. The intent of Raspbian is to bring to the Raspberry Pi user 10,000s of pre-built Debian packages specifically tuned for optimal performance on the Raspberry Pi hardware. The project is still in it’s early phases, but the major push to rebuild nearly all Debian packages for the Raspberry Pi is expected to be completed by early June, 2012 (only several hundred packages remain as of June 1st). After that, efforts will focus on making Raspbian the easiest to use, most stable and best performing Linux distribution available for the Raspberry Pi. Site: Related articles:
RaspbmcMinimal Linux distribution based on Debian that brings XBMC to your Raspberry Pi. This device has an excellent form factor and enough power to handle media playback, making it an ideal component in a low HTPC setup, yet delivering the same XBMC experience that can be enjoyed on much more costly platforms. Raspbmc is brought to you by the developer of the Crystalbuntu Linux Distribution, which brings XBMC and 1080p decoding to the 1st generation Apple TV. Site: Related articles:

RasPlexEntertainment Center Solution for Raspberry Pi Simply put, RasPlex lets you turn your TV into a Smart TV. Similar to the AppleTV, but completely free and open source, RasPlex is basically a set-top box. Once RasPlex is stable, it will have support for legacy console game emulation (NES, SNES, etc), as well as Plex Channels (Netflix, Crackle, Youtube, etc). RasPlex is a Plex Home Theater Client More technically stated, RasPlex is a complete port of Plex Home Theater (formerly Plex Media Center) for Raspberry Pi. RasPlex currently runs on OpenELEC for reasons of limited man power, but there is a working raspbian port that just needs some time to be brought up to speed. RasPlex was created on Gentoo linux, but that port has since been abandoned for performance reasons. We regularly merge in changes from Plex Home Theater and OpenELEC. Once things cool off a bit and we are more stable (or we get the man power), we will maintain a raspbian release as well. RasPlex is the Perfect Companion to a Plex Media Server Many people will use expensive computers as Plex Clients, or have to go through the inconvenient of plugging a computer in to their TV every time they want to use Plex. With RasPlex, just plug it in and you’re media is always ready. Put one on every TV, and have your media everywhere! You can even put RasPlex on your friend’s TV’s, and watch your media remotely.

| Posted: 29 Aug 2013 07:28 PM PDT QEMU, a popular emulation and simulation application used for simulating most architecture, from embedded processor such as ARM to common x86_64 processor. QEMU is available to various host operating system: Linux, Windows. To test QEMU capability, we can provide it with a testing disk image which has a guest operating system inside. In this article, we will list all testing disk image available for QEMU. You can download some of the guest image from QEMU website, including a simple 8MB image of a linux distro (which is meant primarily for testing and might lacks some drivers). We will also list other QEMU test disk image we found so far on this site. You also might interested to basic guide about QEMU disk image: QEMU Disk ImagesCollection of disk images which can be used to test system emulation.
QEMU User Mode EmulationThese executables can be used to test Linux user mode emulation
Dynamic Code AnalysisThis includes any test to detect memory leaks, reads of uninitialized memory, buffer overflows, or other forms of illegal memory access. Typically these kind of tests are done using Valgrind on a Linux host.
