Tags: cross-compile arm64 embedded binutils bare-metal development

Install: brew install aarch64-elf-binutils

About:
GNU Binutils is a collection of binary tools essential for programming and building software. This aarch64-elf variant provides the linker, assembler, and other utilities specifically configured for bare-metal development on 64-bit ARM architectures, enabling the creation of low-level firmware and operating systems.

Key Features:

Cross-compilation toolchain for aarch64-elf targets
Includes assembler (as), linker (ld), and binary utilities (objdump, readelf)
Supports ELF object format manipulation and inspection
Required for building standalone ARM64 firmware and kernels

Use Cases:

Developing bare-metal firmware for ARM64 embedded devices
Building custom operating systems or bootloaders for aarch64
Analyzing and debugging ARM64 ELF binaries

Alternatives:

llvm – LLVM/Clang provides a modern alternative toolchain with different licensing and optimization strategies
aarch64-elf-gcc – GCC is the compiler that typically uses these binutils; they are complementary parts of a toolchain

License: GPL-3.0-or-later

Dependencies: zstd

Bottles available for: arm64_tahoe, arm64_sequoia, arm64_sonoma, sonoma, arm64_linux, x86_64_linux
