APPENDIX E
ARM Compile Options
For ARM platform compiles, the following site makes compiler option recommendations: http://elinux.org/RPi_Software.
The site states the following:
- The gcc compiler flags that produce the most optimal code for the Raspberry Pi are as follows:
- -Ofast -mfpu=vfp -mfloat -abi=hard -march=armv6zk -mtune=arm1176jzf-s
- For some programs, -Ofast may produce compile errors. In these cases, -O3 or -O2 should be used instead.
- -mcpu=arm1176jzf-s can be used in place of -march=armv6zk -mtune=arm1176jzf-s.
