C++ Compiler support on STM32MPU

[NPal.2]

Hi,

I would like to compile a user space c++ application on the STM32MP157C-DK2. Is it possible to install GCC or G++ on the board?

I tried installing them via apt-get but seems like there is not any package with name gcc or g++.

How can i install it and how do i make sure it is up and running ?

I know we can use Yocto SDK to compile and transfer the code on to the board via SCP. But here i specifically want to compile it on board itself.

Any leads will be highly appreciated.

Hello @NPal.2​ 

Indeed it is not possible to install gcc/g++ toolset on the board from the OpenSTLinux repository available from apt-get commands.

I guess the only solution for you is to:

• build this toolset from the STM32MP1 Distribution Package ,
• create a local package repository so you can download the gcc/g++ packages to your board.

Hi @NPal.2​ 

For your information you also have some support with STM32CubeIDE for user space project including C or C++ built.
