Hello,
I would like to give a try to the RZ/Five evaluation kit and I would like to know if it is possible to run a bare-metal application (e.g. by generating an executable and calling it from U-Boot).
Thanks,
Ricardo
Of course it is possible to run a bare-metal type of application on any target hardware platform, the only constraint being that the development tools support such a build by providing all of the necessary startup code and support / library functions required (or the user can provide these).
Which compiler / toolset do you intend to use?
Hi Jim,
That is a good question! If gcc is sufficient to boot the board and run some basic applications, I would probably stick to it as I do not think I will purchase a GHS license in a first moment. I usually rely on some processor application note to start it but I did not find any for the RZ/Five, which made me afraid of not being able to do anything without Linux in this board...
