epics base compilation for ARM Cotex-A53 (ARM64bit)

["Ha, Kiman via Tech-talk" <tech-talk@aps.anl.gov>]

Hello all,

 

I am trying to install epics base to Zynq Ultrascal+ FPGA and local compile same as the Linux host, It has quad ARM Cotex-A53 core.

My approach is a local compilation instead of cross-compile.

 

Does anyone have experience an EPICS base (3.16.x and 7.x) compilation for ARM64 core ?

 

OS : Debian GNU/Linux 10.0

Core Architects : aarch64

Kernel : 4.19.0

 

I typed make and got below messages.

fpga@debian10-zcu102:~/epics/base-7.0.2.2/configure$ make

../src/tools/EpicsHostArch.pl: Architecture 'aarch64-linux-gnu-thread-multi' not recognized

../configure/CONFIG:58: ../configure/os/CONFIG..Common: No such file or directory

make: *** No rule to make target '../configure/os/CONFIG..Common'.  Stop.

 

 

fpga@debian10-zcu102:~/epics/base-7.0.2.2/configure$ gcc -v

Using built-in specs.
