Hi,
My self Amit Rawat an Engineering student from NIT Hamirpur.(H.P, India). I am interested to work on the project "SIMD support for fftw3(FFT library). I have started getting my self familiarize with tools. I am learning SIMD instruction and fftw3 library. But I am stuck at one point i.e how to generate the .axf file. My question is can I generate it using the gcc compiler provided by linaro or I have to use the armcc and armlink. I am using Foundation v8 for running the binary. I am available at iirc with nick amraw.
Thanks, Amit Rawat.
Hello Amit, We've all just come back from an engineering conference, and a few of us are still on vacation. So apologies for the tardy response to your emails.
For some reason unknown to me, our Linaro instructions for getting the foundation model up and running quickly have been removed. They can, however, be accessed via: https://web.archive.org/web/20130826123648/http://www.linaro.org/engineering...
So essentially, you download: * a pre-built axf file from Linaro. This contains the boot-wrapper, kernel, device tree and boot command line information. * a root filesystem in an image that is presented as a block device. * the foundation model from arm.com.
Then you can run the thing. The OpenEmbedded LAMP filesystem contains a toolchain (gcc) so you can compile and run code within the model.
Once you're familiar with the Foundation model, you can then expose the Linux root filesystem via NFS and that should give you a little more flexibility.
Cheers,
