Cross Compilation

To ensure that an application will be able to run correctly when installed on the UC-8410A-LX, you must ensure

that it is compiled and linked to the same libraries that will be present on the UC-8410A-LX computer. This is

particularly true when the RISC Cortex processor architecture of the UC-8410A differs from the CISC x86

processor architecture of the host system, but it is also true if the processor architecture is the same.

The host tool chain that comes with the UC-8410A-LX contains a suite of cross compilers and other tools, as

well as the libraries and headers that are necessary to compile applications for the UC-8410A. The host

environment must be running Linux to install the UC-8410A GNU Tool Chain. We have confirmed that the

following Linux distributions can be used to install the tool chain:

Redhat 7.3/8.0/9.0, Fedora core 1 to 20, Debian 4/5/6/7 32-bit platforms.

The Tool Chain will need about 300 MB of hard disk space on your PC. To install the tool-chain, download the

tool-chain file from Moxa’s website.
