installation instructions

to install the patch carry out the following steps:

1. ensure that you are currently using rvct 4.1. to do this, type:

   armcc --vsn

   and ensure that this returns rvct 4.1 build 462 or later.

   
   

2. extract all the files from the zip file into a temporary directory.

3. copy the include directory from the temporary directory to replace your existing include directory. the existing directory can be located by the armcc41inc environment variable, e.g:

   > echo $armcc41inc
   ~/arm/rvct/data/4.1/462/include/linux/

4. copy the lib directory from the temporary directory to replace your existing lib directory. the existing directory can be located by the armcc41lib environment variable, e.g.:

   > echo $armcc41lib
   ~/arm/rvct/data/4.1/462/lib/

5. copy the linux-pentium directory from the temporary directory to replace your existing linux-pentiumdirectory. the existing directory can be located by the armcc41bin environment variable, e.g.:

   > echo $armcc41bin
   ~/arm/rvct/programs/4.1/462/linux-pentium/

6. the updated tools should now have been installed. to confirm this, open a terminal window and enter:

   armcc --vsn
   armlink --vsn
   armasm --vsn
   fromelf --vsn
   armar --vsn

   the version returned should be rvct 4.1 build 713.

   
   

7. after unzipping the executables, you may find that they cannot be executed because the unix permissions have been reset. the workaround is to set the execute permissions for the user with, e.g.:

   chmod u x armcc

64-bit linker

rvds 4.1 service pack 1, and this patch, include a 64-bit version of the armlink binary. if you have installed rvds 4.1 sevice pack 1 or later, there will also be a directory for 64-bit binaries. for example:

~/arm/rvct/programs/4.1/462/linux-x86_64/

these can be updated by copying the contents of the linux-x86_64 directory from the temporary directory to this location. if have not installed rvds service pack 1 or later this directory will not be present, but can be created if you wish to use the 64-bit version of the linker.

the linux-x86_64 directory also contains copies of armcc, armasm, fromelf and armar binaries. however, these are 32-bit binaries, and are provided because some functionality requires all the binaries to be in the same directory.

note: by default, your system will be configured to use the 32-bit version of the linker. if you wish to use the 64-version, you must change the armccbin environment variable to point to the linux-x86_64 directory, and modify the path to include this directory instead of, or before, the linux-pentium directory.
