  • Moved to using a zephyr fork of crosstool-ng
  • Update bossa to 1.9.1+
  • cmake: Set HOST_TOOLS_HOME based on OS_PLATFORM

• QEMU:

  • Updated to QEMU 5.1.0
  • Added icount support for ARC

• OpenOCD:

  • Updated to 20200928 snapshot

• newlib:

  • Updated to version 3.3
  • Updated xtensa to version 3.3 (in sync with all arch's)

• binutils:

  • updated to version 2.35.1

• gcc:

  • Updated to version 10.2.0

• gdb:

  • Updated to version 9.2

• xtensa:

  • remove HAL from SDK build

v0.11.4

• General:

  • Fixed issue with cmake files not being installed in arch specific
    toolchan packages

• newlib:

  • Fix setting of -DMISSING_SYSCALL_NAMES consistent on all builds
  • Set march=pentium for 32-bit x86 build

V0.11.3

• General:

  • Added cmake package support to make it easier to find toolchain
  • Add a -[no]rc argument to install script to allow skipping update
    query for .zephyrrc

• QEMU:

  • Add support for ARC
  • xilinx_qemu: Fix WFI instruction for icount mode
  • SPARC: fix issue with timer in QEMU machine AT697
  • Add support for changing CPU type in sifive_e machine.

• GDB:

  • Added a gdb build that doesn't support python (TARGET-gdb-no-py)

    NOTE: The name of the gdb executable will change in the next major
    release. To maintain compatibility with previous 0.11.x we left the
    TARGET-gdb as the version that supports python. In 0.12.x we will change
    it such that TARGET-gdb will NOT support python and thus work everywhere
    and TARGET-gdb-py will be the version that supports python.

  • Changed python support to build against python3.8. This is an attempt to
    have the python support work on a larger number of distributions.

    NOTE: This may require install a python3.8 package on your system if
    python3.8 is not available. On fedora systems that can be accomplished by:

    sudo dnf install python38

    On ubuntu systems that can be accomplished by:

    sudo apt get install python3.8-dev

• OpenOCD:

  • Pull in a fix for ARC SMP support

• GCC:

  • Fix build issue with CRC32 intrinsics included from arm_acle.h on ARM
    compiler.

v0.11.3-beta-2: QEMU: Add support of ARCv2 processors

• Pull in arc qemu & arc openocd fix.

v0.11.3-beta-1: bump version for 0.11.3-beta-1

Zephyr SDK 0.11.2

• Fixed issue with setjmp/longjmp not existing on x86 32-bit build

• Fixed python support on GDB:
  NOTE: Since python support is enabled in GDB the host system needs
  python3.6 installed. Otherwise you might get an error like:

  arm-zephyr-eabi-gdb: error while loading shared libraries: libpython3.6m.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
  

  On newer fedora systems this can show up and be fixed by:

  sudo dnf install python36

• Added support for Intel BDW and BDW Audio DSP xtensa toolchains.

• Added support for NXP IMX8 and IMX8M Audio DSP xtensa toolchains.

• Updated xtensa targets to GDB 8.3.1
