Toolchain

From OpenTViX

In order to compile code for the tvix we need a cross compiling toolchain for the correct architecture.

http://www.kegel.com/crosstool/crosstool-0.43/doc/crosstool-howto.html (Crosstool is a shell script used to build linux compilers for several plattforms)

Recommendations for the arm tvix 4000/5000 and 4100/5100 are:

Recommendations for the mips tvix 6500/7000 are:

The toolchain proven to be most compatible is one provided by Sigma themselves. Instructions for downloading and building that toolchain are available here: Sigma Tools.

Other toolchains are available, however many have reported compatibility issues when using them:

When you have finished setting up your toolchain you may want to move on to compiling.
