User guide disagrees with build_all.py script

Roger-Shepherd opened this issue · 3 comments

The user guide says:

--chip: This mandatory argument ...
--board: This mandatory argument...

In build_all.py they are not mandatory and have the default value "default"

9 months on and not a single comment on this!

It's easy to fix this either way.

I suspect that changing the script may break some people's builds. Any build relying on the current behaviour of the script will generate an error.

I propose changing the documentation to match the script.

Is Embench working on --arch Riscv64

@Roger-Shepherd Just realized I haven't paid attention to this. Please do update the documentation!

@indumathiraju I'm not aware of any work on 64-bit RISC-V. Embench IoT is aimed at small microcontrollers, but there is no reason why it cannot be made to work on 64-bit cores.
