Installing the UC-7110 Tool Chain

The PC must have the Linux Operating System pre-installed to install the UC-7110 GNU Tool Chain. Redhat 7.3/8.0 and compatible versions are recommended. The Tool Chain requires about 100 MB of hard disk space (on your PC). The UC-7110 Tool Chain can be found on the UC-7110 CD. To install Tool Chain, insert the CD into your PC and then issue the following command:

#mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

Next, run the following script from the root to installs the compilers, linkers, and libraries in the /usr/local directory:

#sh /mnt/cdrom/tool-chain/arm-elf-tools-20030314.sh

The Tool Chain installation will take a few minutes to complete.

ATTENTION

You can download the Tool Chain from Moxa’s website (go to the UC-7110 product page, click on the Documentation & Drivers link, and then click on Go under Driver & Software Downloads.

The Tool Chain is also available on the www.uClinux.org website at the following link:
