About the xPack GNU RISC-V Embedded GCC

The project

The xPack GNU RISC-V Embedded GCC project is part of the xPack Reproducible Build Framework and is hosted on GitHub as xpack-dev-tools/riscv-none-elf-gcc-xpack, part of the xPack Binary Development Tools.

The main goal of this project is to streamline the development of embedded projects. µOS++ is the first cross-platform project to benefit from the xPack tools.

The project history

The xPack GNU RISC-V Embedded GCC history is presented in a separate History page.

The web site

The initial web site was launched in May 2022 as a sub-site in the xPack web site. It used the Jekyll Doc Theme 6.0 by Tom Johnson.

In August 2024, as part of the project restructuring, the website content was migrated from the xPack Jekyll sub-site to a local Docusaurus configuration stored in the website folder. To ensure continuity, HTML <meta> redirects were added to the old pages. Additionally, a GitHub Action was implemented to automatically publish the site upon any pushes to the website Git branch.
