Howto: Porting Newlib

A Simple Guide

Embecosm Application Note EAN 9
Issue 1, July 2010

Newlib is a C library intended for use on embedded systems. It is a collection of several library parts, all under free software licenses that make them easily usable on embedded products. It is also commonly used when testing GNU tool chains.

Embecosm has worked with a number of customers to port Newlib to embedded targets. This application note shares some of our expertise for those who wish to explore Newlib for themselves. The examples are all based on the version of Newlib 1.18.0 for the OpenRISC 1000 architecture.

Library implementation is one aspect of Embecosm's consultancy in open source software development. We reply on robust libraries for reliable tool validation. Please contact us, to learn more about our services in this area.
