This guide assumes that you have already setup your Linux environment and are already in it. If you haven't set it up already, we recommend using UTM to do so.
Compiling the entire toolchain yourself might take a long time, as well as a large amount of space, so we have prepared a precompiled version of it here.
You can either download this on your host OS (macOS) and SCP it to your guest OS (Linux), or directly download it from inside the guest OS which is more convenient.
Running this command in your terminal will download the file to the directory that you are currently in. By default, the terminal will open in your home directory, which is where the rest of this guide assumes you will place the downloaded file.
Invoking the cd command without any arguments will bring you to your user's home directory if you are not in it.
After exporting the PATH to the binaries, you will be able to use all the tools inside the riscv64-unknown-elf/bin folder. To use the cross-compiler, simply call riscv64-unknown-elf-gcc.
Note that without completing step 4, you will need to export the PATH (step 3) every time you start a new terminal session.
Adding the PATH to your ~/.<shell>rc file automatically invokes the command for you on every startup.
As there are many shells in use, you may need to change the <shell> to the one you are using. In this guide, we assume that you are using bash as it is the default for most Linux Distributions.
To edit the ~/.bashrc you can use any editor you want, but terminal editors like nano or vi are the most convenient.
After invoking the command above, simply add the export command shown in step 3 to a new line in the .bashrc file.
You will need to install some prerequisites for the build process. Different Linux distros have different package managers, so we will provide separate commands. You only need to run the one for your distro.
Arch
You can follow the same steps as in the Precompiled Toolchain Step 4
You can invoke this command to compile for RISC-V
