Category: Developer tools
Tags: cross-compile embedded arm toolchain bare-metal gcc
Install: brew install aarch64-elf-gcc
About:
aarch64-elf-gcc is a cross-compiler toolchain component that generates 64-bit ARM (AArch64) bare-metal executables. It is essential for developing firmware, bootloaders, and operating system kernels that run directly on ARM hardware without a host operating system. This package provides the compiler, assembler, and linker frontend required to build low-level system software.
Key Features:
  • Cross-compilation for bare-metal AArch64 targets
  • Full C and C++ language support with standard libraries
  • Optimized code generation for ARMv8-A architecture
  • Integrates with newlib for embedded system development
Use Cases:
  • Building custom kernels and bootloaders for ARM devices
  • Developing firmware for embedded systems and IoT devices
  • Creating bare-metal applications for development boards
Alternatives:
  • llvm – LLVM/Clang provides an alternative cross-compiler with faster compilation and modular architecture, but GCC has more mature support for some embedded toolchains.
  • aarch64-elf-gcc@14 – Versioned formula providing an older GCC release for projects requiring specific compiler versions or legacy compatibility.
License: GPL-3.0-or-later WITH GCC-exception-3.1
