Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone can help me with my problem.
I am to join a company who are developing a new dedicated 16-bit processor. They are planning to assign me to the department which is responsible to maintain the GNU toolchain (actually it is being ported to their target by another sub-contracted company, but after they hand over, all maintainance work including bug-fixing, upgradation as required etc. is to be dealt by our department only, and I am expected to play a major role in it).
Till now, I never worked at such level, but worked a lot with C (so, only used gcc along with some minor options, as it was never my requirement to work at sub-levels). And Im trying to lay my hands on what is required. I request anyone who is experienced enough on this task to please guide me. I want to know the flow of work (like, First know all the options of gcc compiler, assembler, linker, debugger and bin utils. Second.... (i dont know)). I tried asking Mr. Google, but he started showing me too many sites, none of which has anything close to what I want (all of them either have their own toolchains or have advertised that they can do the job).
As for the pre-requisites, I have a good understanding of the Target Processor Architecture, its Instruction Set (wrote a few programs in assembly and ran them successfully on simulator that was developed) and I am good at C. I guess that is sufficient (for a start) for my task.
I would be greatful if someone can guide me on this.
Cheers,
Harsha.
