Hi all, 

 

first post here. I have an orange pi zero and I want to develop some C++ apps on it. My app is going to be a bit big, and at the moment compiling it on the ZERO takes FOREVER (I guess its just the RAM, not CPU)! Compiling it on my intel i9 PC is just a matter of seconds.

 

So I managed to find gcc-linaro-10.2.1-2021.04-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf  and I can cross compile and then remotely debug it on the ZERO....life is much better now all of the sudden. But I have some concerns, would be nice if you walk me though:

 

1) I am running Armbian 20.04 on the ZERO which I believe is compiled with GCC 9.3.0. I could not find a Linaro package for 9.3.0 therefore I ended up with 10.2.1. Do you think it is safe to use a higher version of compiler? would I run into problems later?

2) Does Armbian 20.04 has an official toolchain that I can run on my PC, instead of the Linaro? If so where can  I find it and if not how can I do it myself?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Answering your second question, yes, it is. Try this:

aptitude search arm-linux-gnueabihf

 

 

I am also facing the same problem. Did you solve the problem in any way? Please.Can you share it here?
