Dirk,

Just for information, the "How To Documents" page has also been imported here: https://epics-controls.org/resources-and-support/documents/howto-documents/
Which is also mostly a collection of  links but a number of articles, too.
I can help in creating a page there if that is an option. Even better if you would do it but I do not dare to ask __
But if you send me the text I can put it there. 

Timo

    The 32 bit tool chains work on 64 bit hosts as well (as long as 32 bit libs are installed).
    Much here depends on the host. I have tried to hive as much information as possible that the user has a choice. I doubt that it is possible to split the configuration in way that makes it more easy to get the correct settings. It only makes information harder to find.

    Any suggestions as to where the documentation may go? I found something here: http://prjemian.github.io/epicspi/ (linked from https://wiki-ext.aps.anl.gov/epics/index.php/HowTo_Documents). It says: "EPICS Base is very easy to build. The wheezy-raspbian distribution already has all the tools necessary to build EPICS Base. All that is necessary is to define the host architecture and then build it." But it does not say how. And it seems it refers to a native build not a cross build.

    I can add an article to https://wiki-ext.aps.anl.gov/epics about how to cross compile for raspberry pi. (If you create a login for me). Then all this information including an the example config file can go there and we can leave this here out of EPICS base.
