Subject: [PATCH] docs: ARC: Improve readability
Date: Fri, 3 Dec 2021 00:57:47 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211202215747.19923-1-abrodkin@synopsys.com> (raw)
There were some things which made rendered document
look not very elegant. That was because:
1. Numbered lists were formatted in more of Markdown way
rather than true reStructuredText and so were displayed
as a plain text with leading numbers.
Well, moreover numbered lists were not needed as in all cases
we were just listing a couple of options w/o any intention to
follow any particular order, so a simpler unordered list fits
better and looks cleaner.
2. URL's of external resources were added as they are
(which is OK in a plain text, but make not much sense in
a HTML where we may use more human-friendly link names
with URL's hidden.
3. Some URL's had trailing slashes which were not really needed
Fix all items from above!

The process of kernel building for ARC processors is the same as for any other
architecture and could be done in 2 ways:
-1. cross-compilation: process of compiling for ARC targets on a development
-host with a different processor architecture (generally x86_64/amd64).
-
-2. native compilation: process of compiling for ARC on a ARC platform
-(hardware board or a simulator like QEMU) with complete development environment
-(GNU toolchain, dtc, make etc) installed on the platform.

+- Native compilation: process of compiling for ARC on a ARC platform

+ (GNU toolchain, dtc, make etc) installed on the platform.
In both cases, up-to-date GNU toolchain for ARC for the host is needed.
Synopsys offers prebuilt toolchain releases which can be used for this purpose,
available from:
-1. Synopsys GNU toolchain releases:
-`<https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/toolchain/releases>`_
-2. Linux kernel compilers collection:

Once the toolchain is installed in the system, make sure its "bin" folder
is added in your ``PATH`` environment variable. Then set ``ARCH=arc`` &
