What is the difference between arm-eabi, gnueabi and gnueabi-hf cross compilers. I am kind of finding it difficult to choose the compilers. Is there a native compiler for arm?
I'm not completely sure:
- the eabi stands for the compilation of code which will run on bare metal arm core.
- the gnueabi stands for the compilation of code for linux
For the gnueabi/gnueabi-hf part, I found an answer here.
gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi is the cross-toolchain package for the armel architecture. This toolchain implies the EABI generated by gcc's -mfloat-abi=soft or -mfloat-abi=softfp options.
gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf is the cross-toolchain package for the armhf architecture. This toolchain implies the EABI generated by the gcc -mfloat-abi=hard option.
