Cross Settings

The Cross Settings page displays the build configuration settings that apply to multiple or all tools in the toolchain.

The following table describes the cross settings available for application projects.

Table 1. Application Project Properties: Cross Settings
Setting Description
Prefix The toolchain prefix used to resolve names of the called tool.

Default: arm-none-eabi-, aarch64-none-elf- or aarch64-linux-gnu-.
Path The location of the toolchain. Options:
  • ${S32DS_<device>_ARM32_TOOLCHAIN_DIR}
  • ${S32DS_<device>_ARM64_TOOLCHAIN_DIR}
  • ${S32DS_<device>_ARM64_LINUX_TOOLCHAIN_DIR}
  • ${S32DS_<device>_ARM32_GNU_9_2_TOOLCHAIN_DIR}
  • ${S32DS_<device>_ARM64_GNU_9_2_TOOLCHAIN_DIR}
  • ${S32DS_<device>_ARM64_GNU_9_2_LINUX_TOOLCHAIN_DIR}
Note: The build variables used in paths are available in the Preferences dialog box (section C/C++ > Build > Build Variables, the Show system variables option enabled).
Suffix The toolchain suffix used to resolve names of the called tool. Blank by default.
C compiler The C compiler executable.

Default: gcc.

The full name is resolved by adding the toolchain prefix.
C++ compiler The C++ compiler executable.

Default: g++.

The full name is resolved by adding the toolchain prefix.
Hex/Bin converter The HEX/BIN converter tool that copies and translates object files.

Default: objcopy.

This tool is used by the Standard S32DS Create Flash Image virtual tool.

Listing generator The tool that displays information about object files.

Default: objdump.

This tool is used by the Standard S32DS Disassembler and Standard S32DS Create Listing virtual tools.
Size command The tool that calculates (in bytes) the size of text, data and uninitialized sections in the ELF file, and their total.

Default: size.
Build command The tool that automatically builds executable programs and libraries from the project source code.

Default: make.
Remove command The tool and command parameters to remove the built executable programs, libraries, and object files.

Default: rm -rf.
Create flash image Select to enable the creation of a flash image at build time.

The flash image is created from the built ELF file by the tool specified in the Hex/Bin converter setting. The <project_name>.srec file appears in the Project Explorer in the project's Debug folder. The SREC file includes binary code in Motorola SREC text format that represents binary data as a hexadecimal text in ASCII format. You can flash this file to the target MCU.

Enabling this option shows the Standard S32DS Create Flash Image tool in the list of tools.

Create extended listing Select to enable the creation of extended listing at build time.

The file is generated at build time by the tool specified in the Listing generator setting. The <project_name>.lst file appears in the Project Explorer in the project's Debug folder. The LST file contains the disassembly of the built ELF file and gives a bit more details on functions than the Standard S32DS Disassembler.

Enabling this option shows the Standard S32DS Create Listing tool in the list of tools.

Print size Select to call the size tool after the project is built. The tool outputs details to the Console view.

The following table describes the cross settings available for library projects.

Table 2. Library Project Properties: Cross Settings
Setting Description
Prefix The prefix used to call the tools. Default: arm-none-eabi-, aarch64-none-elf- or aarch64-linux-gnu-.
Path The location of the toolchain. Options:
  • ${S32DS_<device>_ARM32_TOOLCHAIN_DIR}
  • ${S32DS_<device>_ARM64_TOOLCHAIN_DIR}
  • ${S32DS_<device>_ARM64_LINUX_TOOLCHAIN_DIR}
  • ${S32DS_<device>_ARM32_GNU_9_2_TOOLCHAIN_DIR}
  • ${S32DS_<device>_ARM64_GNU_9_2_TOOLCHAIN_DIR}
  • ${S32DS_<device>_ARM64_GNU_9_2_LINUX_TOOLCHAIN_DIR}
Suffix The suffix used to call the tools. Blank by default.
C compiler The C compiler executable.

Default: gcc.

The full name is resolved by adding the prefix.
C++ compiler The C++ compiler executable.

Default: g++.

The full name is resolved by adding the prefix.
Archiver The archiver tool.

Default: ar.

After you build a static library, the tool automatically archives the object file. The archive file appears in the Project Explorer in the project's Archives folder.

Build command The tool that automatically builds executable programs and libraries from the project source code.

Default: make.

Remove command The tool and command parameters to remove built executable programs, libraries, and object files.

Default: rm -rf.
