+== Toolchain
+
+=== Marvell toolchain
+The Newport BSP uses a Marvell toolchain to build the kernel and boot firmware based on gcc v7.3.0.
+
+The specific details can be shown by running 'gcc -v' for example:
+{{{#!bash
+user@host:/usr/src/newport/bsp$ . ./setup-environment # configure PATH and CROSS_COMPILER env vars
+user@host:/usr/src/newport/bsp$ ${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc -v
+Using built-in specs.

+
+The buildroot based toolchain is used by virtue of sourcing the [https://github.com/Gateworks/bsp-newport/blob/master/setup-environment setup-environment] file which adds to your PATH and sets the CROSS_COMPILE variable.
+
+=== Cross compile examples
+
+Examples of cross-compiling using the buildroot toolchain
+ * ANSI-C hello world:
+{{{#!bash
+cat << EOF > helloworld.c
+#include <stdio.h>
+#include <stdlib.h>
+
+int main(int argc, char **argv)
+{
+        printf("hello world!\n");
+
+        return 0;
+}
+EOF
+. ./setup-environment # setup environment for buildroot toolchain
+${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc helloworld.c -o helloworld
+}}}
+ * C++ hello world:
+{{{#!bash
+cat << EOF > helloworld.cpp
+#include <iostream>
+
+using namespace std;
+
+int main() {
+        cout << "Hello World!";
+        return 0;
+}
+EOF
+. ./setup-environment # setup environment for buildroot toolchain
+${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc helloworld.cpp -lstdc++ -o helloworld
+}}}
+ * kernel module:
+{{{#!bash
+. ./setup-environment # setup environment for buildroot toolchain
+make kernel_image # first build the kernel
+make -C linux M=$PWD/my-module modules
+}}}
+  - Note that some out-of-tree kernel modules do not follow the suggested Makefile standards and may need to be modified to use the CROSS_COMPILE prefix and/or specify the kernel directory (as opposed to the above example where you do a make in the linux dir and set M to the path of your module)
