DesignWare ARC MetaWare Development Toolkit (MWDT)
##################################################
#. You need to have `ARC MWDT <https://www.synopsys.com/dw/ipdir.php?ds=sw_metaware>`_ installed on
your host.
#. You need to have :ref:`Zephyr SDK <toolchain_zephyr_sdk>` installed on your host.
.. note::
A Zephyr SDK is used as a source of tools like device tree compiler (DTC), QEMU, etc...
Even though ARC MWDT toolchain is used for Zephyr RTOS build, still the GNU preprocessor & GNU
objcopy might be used for some steps like device tree preprocessing and ``.bin`` file
generation. We used Zephyr SDK as a source of these ARC GNU tools as well.
#. :ref:`Set these environment variables <env_vars>`:
- Set :envvar:`ZEPHYR_TOOLCHAIN_VARIANT` to ``arcmwdt``.
- Set :envvar:`ARCMWDT_TOOLCHAIN_PATH` to the toolchain installation directory. MWDT installation
provides :envvar:`METAWARE_ROOT` so simply set :envvar:`ARCMWDT_TOOLCHAIN_PATH` to
``$METAWARE_ROOT/../`` (Linux) or ``%METAWARE_ROOT%\..\`` (Windows).
.. tip::
If you have only one ARC MWDT toolchain version installed on your machine you may skip setting
:envvar:`ARCMWDT_TOOLCHAIN_PATH` - it would be detected automatically.
#. To check that you have set these variables correctly in your current
environment, follow these example shell sessions (the
:envvar:`ARCMWDT_TOOLCHAIN_PATH` values may be different on your system):
.. code-block:: console
# Linux:
$ echo $ZEPHYR_TOOLCHAIN_VARIANT
arcmwdt
$ echo $ARCMWDT_TOOLCHAIN_PATH
/home/you/ARC/MWDT_2023.03/
# Windows:
> echo %ZEPHYR_TOOLCHAIN_VARIANT%
arcmwdt
> echo %ARCMWDT_TOOLCHAIN_PATH%
C:\ARC\MWDT_2023.03\
