arc-2023.12-release

3 months ago

This is release of 2023.12 version of the GNU Toolchain for Synopsys ARC-V Processor IP. This release introduces support for ARC-V RMX and RHX processors series based on RISC-V instruction set architecture.

More information about these processors can be found on Synopsys website here Power-Efficient RISC-V Processors for Embedded Applications and here Maximum Performance Efficiency for Real-time Applications.

arc-v-hero-aem

[!IMPORTANT] This release of ARC GNU tools doesn't include prebuilt toolchains for ARC Classic processor families. In the future we plan to support all current ARC processors in the same release of ARC GNU tools. Users of ARC600, ARC700, ARC EM, ARCv2 HS (HS3x & HS4x) and ARCv3 HS (HS5x & HS6x) should keep using ARC GNU Tools 2023.09 (latest version).

New Features and Enhancements

Support for RISC-V based ARC-V RMX and RHX processors series

  • In this release the following RISC-V extensions are supported: Zba, Zbb, Zbs, Zdinx, Zfinx, Zicbom, Zicbop, Zicboz.
  • Support for ARC-V RMX & RHX processors:
    • Instruction scheduling tuning for ARC-V RMX-100 (-mtune=rmx100) & RMX-500 (-mtune=rmx500) processors
    • Instruction fusion for ARC-V RHX series (-mtune=rhx)
    • Implementation of the code size reduction extensions Zcb & Zcmp
  • As this is the first release of prebuilt GNU tools with ARC-V support, some functionality may have issues, some processor features may not yet be fully supported, and performance may be lower that expected performance of the final product.

Binary distribution

  • Supported host operating systems: Windows 10 64-bit, Ubuntu 18.04.x, 20.04.x, CentOS/RHEL 7.x
  • Prebuilt bare-metal toolchains for 64-bit Windows & Linux hosts, see table with references and list of artifacts below.

Toolchain Components

  • GCC 13.2 with ARC patches

  • Binutils pre-2.41 with ARC patches

    • Upstream sources of pre-v2.41, see release announcement.
    • Added code size reduction Zcb & Zcmp extensions.

  • GDB 12.1 with ARC patches

  • Newlib 4.3.0 with ARC patches

    • Updated sources of 4.3.0 release, see release announcement.
    • Improved start-up code to initialize GP (global pointer), SP (stack pointer), clear .bss section etc.
    • Provided custom linker script for use with fast on-chip memories (DCCM & ICCM).

Known issues

  • There are no known issues so far for that release.

Bugs and enhancements made in upstream open-source projects of each toolchain component could be found in the corresponding bug-tracking system.

Fixes and improvements in the final release compared to Release Candidate 2

There're no changes in the final release compared to the release candidate 2.

Fixes and improvements in the Release Candidate 2 compared to Release Candidate 1

  1. Resolved an issue (P10019563-65093) with creating a project in ARC GNU IDE in a new workspace.
  2. OpenOCD JTAG probe could be used now with EM SDP in ARC GNU IDE.

Known issues

  1. CenOS 6.x hosts are not supported any longer for both running prebuilt tools as well as for building tools, see #202.

  2. GDB compilation may intermittently fail due to unwanted regenerating intl/plural.c, see #212.

  3. [Jira P10019563-38842] Ashling Opella-XD drivers of version 1.2.6 and above to work with ARC GNU IDE required to run the Ashling GDB server separately and select "Connect to a running GDB server" in the Debug Launch.

    To run the Ashling GDB server use the following from a command prompt:

    C:\AshlingOpellaXDforARC> ash-arc-gdb-server.exe --device arc-em

    Other supported devices are arc-hs, arc-600 and arc-700.

    See section "3.2 Configuring the Ashling GDB Server" in the Ashling Opella-XD ARC User manual for more details.

  4. Newlib's libgloss doesn't support RF16 configuration of ARC cores when building for nSIM with "GNU Hostlink", see #231. But with use of "MetaWare Hostlink" RF16 configuration might be used now, see https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/newlib/blob/arc-2021.03/libgloss/arc/readme-hostlink.md for more details.

  5. Non-multilib toolchain built for ARC EM doesn't contain libdw_uart.a for EMSK, see #262

  6. macOS cross-toolchains are not being distributed in this release

  7. libcrypt.so.1 is not included in the toolchain (starting from glibc 2.38 libcrypt.so.1 is not built by default and will be removed from glibc in the future), please use libcrypt implemented by external libraries such as libxcrypt instead of relying on Glibc internal implementation.

Please report any problems by filing an Issue in GitHub here.

arc-2023.03-release

11 months ago

This is release of 2023.03 version of the GNU Toolchain for DesignWare ARC 600, ARC 700, EM, HS3x/4x, HS5x & HS6x processors. This is a maintenance release which brings incremental improvements for major toolchain components such as GCC, Binutils & GDB for ARC processors.

GNU Documentation can be found online here https://foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors.github.io/toolchain.

A list of useful how-to instructions can also be found on the GNU Toolchain for DesignWare ARC Processors Documentation wiki.

Toolchain and IDE Components Versions

  • Binutils 2.40 with ARC patches
  • GCC 12.2 with ARC patches
  • GDB pre-14.1 with ARC patches
  • newlib 4.3.0 with ARC patches
  • uClibc-ng v1.0.43 with ARC patches
  • glibc 2.37 with ARC patches

This release of GNU toolchain is supported by CGEN IPlib (TCF generator) version 1.0.53 and later.

New Features and Enhancements

Also, here is the list of GitHub issues addressed in this release: https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/toolchain/issues?q=is%3Aissue+milestone%3A2023.03+is%3Aclosed Note, though, this list only contains issues filed against ARC GNU toolchain. Bugs and enhancements made in upstream open-source projects of each toolchain component could be found inthe corresponding bug-tracking system.

Fixes and improvements in the final release compared to Release Candidate 1

There're no changes in the final release compared to the release candidate 1.

Known issues

  1. CenOS 6.x hosts are not supported any longer for both running prebuilt tools as well as for building tools, see #202.

  2. GDB compilation may intermittently fail due to unwanted regenerating intl/plural.c, see #212.

  3. [Jira P10019563-38842] Ashling Opella-XD drivers of version 1.2.6 and above to work with ARC GNU IDE required to run the Ashling GDB server separately and select "Connect to a running GDB server" in the Debug Launch.

    To run the Ashling GDB server use the following from a command prompt:

    C:\AshlingOpellaXDforARC> ash-arc-gdb-server.exe --device arc-em

    Other supported devices are arc-hs, arc-600 and arc-700.

    See section "3.2 Configuring the Ashling GDB Server" in the Ashling Opella-XD ARC User manual for more details.

  4. Newlib's libgloss doesn't support RF16 configuration of ARC cores when building for nSIM with "GNU Hostlink", see #231. But with use of "MetaWare Hostlink" RF16 configuration might be used now, see https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/newlib/blob/arc-2021.03/libgloss/arc/readme-hostlink.md for more details.

  5. Non-multilib toolchain built for ARC EM doesn't contain libdw_uart.a for EMSK, see #262

  6. macOS cross-toolchains are not being distributed in this release

  7. vmax2/vmin2 are encoded faulty for ARC HS5x processors, see: https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/qemu/issues/181

  8. 32-bit relocations may overflow when dealing with 32-bit unsigned numbers. This is valid only for 64-bit ARCv3 processors (e.g., HS6x), see: https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/toolchain/issues/564

Please report any problems by filing an Issue in GitHub here.

arc-2022.09-rc3

1 year ago

This is the third release candidate of 2022.09 version of the GNU Toolchain for DesignWare ARC 600, ARC 700, EM, HS3x/4x, HS5x & HS6x processors. Most notably, this is the first release of ARC GNU toolchain with support of both 32- (ARC HS5x) & 64-bit (ARC HS6x) versions of ARCv3 processors.

GNU Documentation can be found online here https://foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors.github.io/toolchain.

A list of useful how-to instructions can also be found on the GNU Toolchain for DesignWare ARC Processors Documentation wiki.

Toolchain and IDE Components Versions

  • Binutils 2.38 with ARC patches
  • GCC 12.2 with ARC patches
  • GDB 12.1 with ARC patches
  • newlib 3.2.0 with ARC patches
  • uClibc-ng v1.0.42
  • glibc 2.34

This release of GNU toolchain is supported by CGEN IPlib (TCF generator) version 1.0.53 and later.

New Features and Enhancements

Fixes and improvements in the Release Candidate 3 compared to Release Candidate 2

  1. Fixed 8 Kb MMU page use in uClibc Linux toolchain for ARC HS58 processors (https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/toolchain/issues/511)

Fixes and improvements in the Release Candidate 2 compared to Release Candidate 1

  1. Fixed "GDB for Windows does not work correctly in Eclipse plugin" (https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/toolchain/issues/501).
  2. Fixed "undefined reference to _kill/_kill_r & _getpid/_getpid_r" when building bare-metal applications (https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/toolchain/issues/502).
  3. Added support of 64-bit atomic instructions (llockd & scondd) for 32-bit ARCv3 ARC HS5x processors (https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/toolchain/issues/505)

Known issues

  1. CenOS 6.x hosts are not supported any longer for both running prebuilt tools as well as for building tools, see #202.

  2. GDB compilation may intermittently fail due to unwanted regenerating intl/plural.c, see #212.

  3. [Jira P10019563-38842] Ashling Opella-XD drivers of version 1.2.6 and above to work with ARC GNU IDE required to run the Ashling GDB server separately and select "Connect to a running GDB server" in the Debug Launch.

    To run the Ashling GDB server use the following from a command prompt:

    C:\AshlingOpellaXDforARC> ash-arc-gdb-server.exe --device arc-em

    Other supported devices are arc-hs, arc-600 and arc-700.

    See section "3.2 Configuring the Ashling GDB Server" in the Ashling Opella-XD ARC User manual for more details.

  4. Newlib's libgloss doesn't support RF16 configuration of ARC cores when building for nSIM with "GNU Hostlink", see #231. But with use of "MetaWare Hostlink" RF16 configuration might be used now, see https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/newlib/blob/arc-2021.03/libgloss/arc/readme-hostlink.md for more details.

  5. Non-multilib toolchain built for ARC EM doesn't contain libdw_uart.a for EMSK, see #262

  6. macOS cross-toolchains are not being distributed in this release

Please report any problems by filing an Issue in GitHub here.
