Use riscv-none-elf instead of legacy riscv-none-embed as target triplet for
RISC-V development. However, if ricsv-none-elf is not present, try
riscv64-unknown-elf and riscv-none-embed instead. If the legacy riscv-none-embed
is used, a warning is printed.
Add `TARGET_ARCH_<ARCH>` for each architecture (e.g. `TARGET_ARCH_CORTEX` for
Cortex M) to allow users to overwrite the target triple for a specific arch
from ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc (or the like) without overwriting it for all others
as well.
This adds cortexm_fpu to the DEFAULT_MODULE list when the feature
cortexm_fpu is provided by the architecture. It also moves the
dependency resolution of this module to the architecture-specific
Makefile.dep file.
This moves the following modules to a architecture-specific Makefile.dep
file:
- cortexm_common
- cortexm_common_periph
- newlib
- newlib_nano
- periph
Remove the workaround for clang 3.6.2 that did not support
'cortex-m0plus'.
clang 3.8 was already supporting it according to the PR introducing the check.
clang >=3.8 is avaible since ubuntu-xenial and debian-stretch.
The current ubuntu-bionic has clang 6 and debian-buster clang 7.
This removes overwriting 'CPU_ARCH'.
Use the -gz option to compress ELF sections containing DWARF information.
This saves around 50% of disk space, without any side effects.
See https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-9.2.0/gcc/Debugging-Options.html#Debugging-Options
for more infomation on this option.
Some platforms have an outdated toolchain that does not support -gz so
the flag is blacklisted there. Even then, the results are quite impressive.
I used @cladmi's `buildtest` branch (https://github.com/cladmi/RIOT/tree/wip/du/buildtest)
with this change and compiled the `examples/default` application:
```
$ BUILD_IN_DOCKER=1 DOCKER="sudo docker" make -C examples/default buildtest-indocker
```
The size was obtained with:
```
$ find output -name "*.bin.bindirsize" -type f -exec tail -n1 '{}' \; | cut -f 1 | awk '{s+=$1} END {printf "%.0f", s}'
```
Results:
- Vanilla: 10328112 KB (~10GB).
- with -gz: 4982788 KB (~5GB).
This was inspired by #8496.
Rational: the periph_common module is required by (most) other periph drivers
and also during startup of the CPU/MCU to run periph_init. The latter is only
required if other periph drivers are used, hence periph_common should be a
depency of periph_* modules and *not* of the CPU/MCU. This PR fixes that
by making periph_common a depency of periph_* and removing the explicit
include in the CPU/MCU implementation.
arm-gcc version from ubuntu bionic repository is not supported in RIOT.
Both when building with `gnu` and `llvm`.
arm-none-eabi-gcc --version
arm-none-eabi-gcc (15:6.3.1+svn253039-1build1) 6.3.1 20170620
So detect this version and print an error if found.
The check is done on the building machine and not on the host when building in
docker.
The error can be disabled when building with WERROR=0.
