<h1 id="porting-mynewt-to-a-new-cpu-architecture">Porting Mynewt to a new CPU Architecture</h1>
<p>A new CPU architecture typically requires the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>A new compiler</li>
<li>New architecture-specific code for the OS</li>
<li>Helper libraries to help others porting to the same architecture</li>
</ul>
<p>These are discussed below:</p>
<h3 id="create-a-new-compiler">Create A New Compiler</h3>
<p>NOTE: Newt does not automatically install the compilers require to build all platforms. Its up to the user using their local machines package manager to install the compilers. The step described here just registers the compiler with newt. </p>
<p>Create a new directory (named after the compiler you are adding). Copy the <code>pkg.yml</code> file from another compiler. </p>
<p>Edit the <code>pkg.yml</code> file and change the configuration attributes to match your compiler. Most are self-explanatory paths to different compiler and linker tools. There are a few configuration attributes worth noting.</p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th><strong>Configuration Attributes</strong></th>
<th><strong>Description</strong></th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>pkg.keywords</td>
<td>Specific keywords to help others search for this using newt</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>compiler.flags.default</td>
<td>default compiler flags for this architecture</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>compiler.flags.optimized</td>
<td>additional flags when the newt tool builds an optimized image</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>compiler.flags.debug</td>
<td>additional flags when the newt tool builds a debug image</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<h3 id="implement-architecture-specific-os-code">Implement Architecture-specific OS code</h3>
<p>There are several architecture-specific code functions that are required when implementing a new architecture. You can find examples in the <code>sim</code> architecture within Mynewt.</p>
<p>When porting to a new CPU architecture, use the existing architectures as samples when writing your implementation.</p>
<p>Please contact the Mynewt development list for help and advice portingto new MCU.</p>
