How is this computed?

round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10) — computed 2026-09-03. Adoption (stars, forks) is never an input.

A repository of prebuilt ARM cross-compilation toolchains for building software targeting Raspberry Pi boards. The project is officially deprecated, with users directed to install equivalent toolchains from distro package managers like Ubuntu apt.

Use cases

  • cross-compile c programs for raspberry pi
  • build armv6 binaries for pi zero
  • get gcc arm linux gnueabihf toolchain
  • compile kernel modules for raspberry pi from x86 host

When to choose

  • you need a legacy prebuilt toolchain matching old Raspberry Pi build flags
  • you cannot install a distro toolchain and need a self-contained binary

When to avoid

  • you are starting a new project - use gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf or gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu from your distro
  • you need maintained, up-to-date compiler versions
