ARM and AArch64 Target Triples

ARM and AArch64 Target Triples

Introduction

The GCC compiler uses 'triples' when referring to the host system that the compiler runs on or the target system that a compiler will generate binaries to run on.

The term 'triple' refers to the method used in the GNU/Linux operating system to designate a specific host or target. It is separated into the following components:

<arch>-<vendor>-<operatingsystem>

The <operatingsystem> may be further divided into an optionaloperating system _and _ABI _portions. For example the Linux OS and the GNU hardfloat ABI might have the following <_operatingsystem>, "-linux-gnueabihf". Whereas a bare-metal target will not have an OS but only the embedded ABI, "-eabi".
