Install Xtensa Software Tools without IDE
The Xtensa Software Tools can also be installed without the use of the IDE. The installation without the IDE is useful in a command-line only Linux environment, or for better compatibility with an unsupported Linux environment.
The command-line tools package is available as a redistributable zip file that is extracted with an Xplorer IDE install. To gain access to the tools package, the IDE must be installed once in the organization. The tools package is available at: ~/xtensa/XtDevTools/downloads/RI-2023.11/tools/XtensaTools_RI_2023_11_linux.tgz..
With the tools package and the DSP Build Configuration package available from the Tensilica Tools download site, the toolchain can be set up as follows:
# Create Xtensa install root
mkdir -p ~/xtensa/tools
mkdir -p ~/xtensa/builds
# Set up the configuration-independent Xtensa Tool:
tar zxvf XtensaTools_RI_2023_11_linux.tgz -C ~/xtensa/tools
# Set up the configuration-specific core files:
tar zxvf nxp_rt600_RI23_11_newlib_linux_redist.tgz -C ~/xtensa/builds
# Install the Xtensa development toolchain:
cd ~/xtensa
./builds/RI-2023.11-linux/nxp_rt600_RI23_11_newlib/install \
--xtensa-tools./tools/RI-2023.11-linux/XtensaTools \
--registry ./tools/RI-2023.11-linux/XtensaTools/configg
