Introduction

Developing software for RISC-V Steel requires the RISC-V GNU Toolchain, a suite of compilers and software development tools for the RISC-V architecture.

Follow the steps below to download, install and configure the RISC-V GNU Toolchain for RISC-V Steel:

1. Download the RISC-V GNU Toolchain

git clone https://github.com/riscv-collab/riscv-gnu-toolchain

2. Install dependencies

sudo apt-get install autoconf automake autotools-dev curl python3 python3-pip libmpc-dev libmpfr-dev libgmp-dev gawk build-essential bison flex texinfo gperf libtool patchutils bc zlib1g-dev libexpat-dev ninja-build git cmake libglib2.0-dev libslirp-dev

sudo yum install autoconf automake python3 libmpc-devel mpfr-devel gmp-devel gawk  bison flex texinfo patchutils gcc gcc-c++ zlib-devel expat-devel libslirp-devel

sudo pacman -Syyu autoconf automake curl python3 libmpc mpfr gmp gawk base-devel bison flex texinfo gperf libtool patchutils bc zlib expat libslirp

brew install python3 gawk gnu-sed gmp mpfr libmpc isl zlib expat texinfo flock libslirp

3. Configure it for RISC-V Steel

cd riscv-gnu-toolchain
./configure --with-arch=rv32izicsr --with-abi=ilp32 --prefix=/opt/riscv

4. Compile and install

make -j $(nproc)
