Software compatibility

Does GCC 4.1.1 rel 2 work on the BeagleBoard? I’ve built Hello World, but that doesn’t count as a comprehensive test, I suppose.

If it does work, I’ll happily update the software compatibility list.

Yes, GCC 4.1.1 r2 should work fine.

Does anybody know about the StrongED porting efforts? I read that it should work now (Version 4.69a1) but when I open the first window it crashes (I’ll post the exception address when I’m back home). The older Version 4.68 did at least show all texts and I could search in them but it did not allow to edit anything.

This thread contains details of a fix for the crash (you’ll need to hex edit one of the instructions). As far as I know that’s the only (OMAP) problem there was in 4.69a1, so hopefully it won’t be too long until an official release is made :)

Several other problems with 4.69a1 on OMAP have been found, such as changing colours not working and Shift-click on files sometimes producing an error.

I’ve uploaded a new RunImage (4.69a2) that can be used to replace the existing 4.69a1 RunImage. As yet, I’ve had no bug reports against it, so it seems to be ok.

The new RunImage can be found here: http://www.stronged.iconbar.com/archives/misc/ri469a2.zip

Ok, thanks! – it works so far. I’ll update the software compatibility list :-)
