[Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#980889: RFP: binutils-sh-elf -- cross binary utilities for SuperH bare-metal systems

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name:    binutils-sh-elf
  Version         : 2.35.1
  Upstream Author : GNU Project
* URL             : https://www.gnu.org/software/binutils/
* License         : GPL
  Programming Lang: C
  Description     : cross binary utilities for SuperH bare-metal systems

This package would provide GNU Binutils suited for embedded targets, and
would be suited for both SH-1 and SH-2 hardware at least [1]. This is needed
to build carl9170, the libre wireless firmware for AR9170 devices that's
currently in firmware-linux-free. That will require GCC and Newlib as well.

I don't have time to commit to this now, but might in the distant future.
In that case, I might would package it with the electronics or even the
kernel team. If others would help get this package started, I could
try maintaining it after it's off the ground.
