arm(eb)?v7r-none-eabi(hf)?

Tier: 2

Bare-metal target for CPUs in the Armv7-R architecture family, supporting dual ARM/Thumb mode, with ARM mode as the default.

Processors in this family include the Arm Cortex-R4, 5, 7, and 8.

The eb versions of this target generate code for big-endian processors.

See arm-none-eabi for information applicable to all arm-none-eabi targets.

Requirements

When using the big-endian version of this target, note that some variants of the Cortex-R have both big-endian instructions and data. This configuration is known as BE-32, while data-only big-endianness is known as BE-8. To build programs for BE-32 processors, the GNU linker must be used with the -mbe32 option. See ARM Cortex-R Series Programmer's Guide: Endianness for more details about different endian modes.

When using the hardfloat targets, the minimum floating-point features assumed are those of the vfpv3-d16, which includes single- and double-precision, with 16 double-precision registers. This floating-point unit appears in Cortex-R4F and Cortex-R5F processors. See VFP in the Cortex-R processors for more details on the possible FPU variants.

If your processor supports a different set of floating-point features than the default expectations of vfpv3-d16, then these should also be enabled or disabled as needed with -C target-feature=(+/-).

Cross-compilation toolchains and C code

This target supports C code compiled with the arm-none-eabi target triple and -march=armv7-r or a suitable -mcpu flag.
