6. Toolchain

To build the device tree and kernel on Host Machine, you need to download a toolchain for cross-compile, which means, compiling aarch64 (ARM-based 64 bit) files on an x86 Linux computer.

You can use the following file to download the toolchain for NRU's device tree and kernel build.

cd $HOME
wget http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/7.3-2018.05/aarch64-linux-gnu/gcc-linaro-7.3.1-2018.05-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz
