Hi,

building Zephyr with an LLVM-based compiler (like DS-5) was prototyped
but not finished in https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/pull/5901.

Since then there has not been any activity. I'm not sure about the schedule.

Contributions are welcome :)

Subject: [Zephyr-devel] Support for ARM DS-5 compiler

Are there any plans for including support in Zephyr for the ARM DS-5 compiler?

The getting started guide has some information about how to set up a 3rd party compiler

http://docs.zephyrproject.org/getting_started/getting_started.html#using-custom-and-3rd-party-cross-compilers

However, the example 3rd party compiler is also a GCC compiler.
I have not been successful in setting up the ARM DS-5 compiler for Zephyr using this information, but there was a rumour that the Zephyr project was working on built-in support for ARM DS-5.

Is anyone able to confirm this rumour?

Thanks and best regards,
Peder Møller.

I was informed that the major step towards ARM DS-5 support, full support of LLVM, is on the schedule for Zephyr rev 1.12.
It seems that we can expect that around June.
