Install: brew install arm-linux-gnueabihf-binutils
About:
GNU Binutils provides a comprehensive suite of binary tools essential for building and manipulating binary code. This package specifically offers the cross-compilation toolchain for the arm-linux-gnueabihf target, enabling developers to create applications for ARM hardware on non-ARM hosts. It includes the linker, assembler, and binary utilities required for low-level development.
Key Features:
  • Cross-compilation toolchain for ARM hard-float ABI
  • Includes ld (linker), as (assembler), and objcopy/readelf
  • Supports ELF binary format and DWARF debugging information
  • Essential for embedded Linux and bare-metal development
Use Cases:
  • Compiling software for Raspberry Pi or other ARM SBCs from macOS or x86 Linux
  • Developing firmware or embedded Linux applications for ARM processors
  • Analyzing or manipulating ARM binary files during reverse engineering
Alternatives:
  • llvm – LLVM/Clang provides a modern alternative with modular architecture and faster compilation, though binutils remains the GNU standard.
  • arm-none-eabi-binutils – Targeted specifically at bare-metal ARM (no OS), whereas arm-linux-gnueabihf targets Linux systems with hardware floating point.
