6OP-TEE uses both 32bit as well as 64bit toolchains and it is even possible to
7mix them in some configurations. In theory you should be able to compile OP-TEE
8with the Arm toolchains that are coming with your Linux distribution. But
9instead of using those directly, we instead download the toolchains directly
10from Arm.
11
12Download/install
13****************
14We propose two ways to download the toolchains, both will put the toolchains
15under the same path(s).
16
171. Direct download
18==================
19Go the `Arm GCC download page`_ and download the "`AArch32 target with soft
20float (arm-linux-gnueabi)`" for 32bit builds and the "`AArch64 GNU/Linux target
21(aarch64-linux-gnu)`" for 64bit builds. When the downloads have finished, you
22will untar them to a location that you later on will export to your ``$PATH``.
23Here is an example
24
25.. code-block:: bash
26
27 $ mkdir -p $HOME/toolchains
28 $ cd $HOME/toolchains
29
30 # Download 32bit toolchain
31 $ wget https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Files/downloads/gnu-a/8.2-2019.01/gcc-arm-8.2-2019.01-x86_64-arm-linux-gnueabi.tar.xz
32 $ mkdir aarch32
33 $ tar xf gcc-arm-8.2-2019.01-x86_64-arm-linux-gnueabi.tar.xz -C aarch32 --strip-components=1
34
35 # Download 64bit toolchain
36 $ wget https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Files/downloads/gnu-a/8.2-2019.01/gcc-arm-8.2-2019.01-x86_64-aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz
37 $ mkdir aarch64
38 $ tar xf gcc-arm-8.2-2019.01-x86_64-aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz -C aarch64 --strip-components=1
39
402. Using build.git
41==================
42As an alternative, you can let :ref:`build`.git download them for you, but this
43of course involves getting a git that you might not otherwise use.
44
45.. code-block:: bash
46
47 $ cd $HOME
48 $ git clone https://github.com/OP-TEE/build.git
49 $ cd build
50 $ make -f toolchain.mk -j2
51
52
53Export PATH
54***********
55If you have downloaded the toolchains as described above, you should have them
56at ``$HOME/toolchains/{aarch32/aarch64}``, so now we just need to export the
57paths and then you are ready to starting compiling OP-TEE components.
58
59.. code-block:: bash
60
61 $ export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/toolchains/aarch32/bin:$HOME/toolchains/aarch64/bin
