1.2. System Requirements

1.2.1. Host Operating System Requirements

This version of Sourcery CodeBench supports the following host operating systems and architectures:

  • Microsoft Windows:

    • Windows 7: 32-bit and 64-bit

    • Windows 8: 32-bit and 64-bit

  • Linux®:

    • Ubuntu Desktop 12.04: 64-bit only

    • Ubuntu Desktop 14.04: 32-bit and 64-bit

    • Ubuntu Desktop 15.04: 64-bit only

    • Redhat Enterprise Linux 6.5 and 6.6: 64-bit only

    • Centos 7 and 7.1: 64-bit only

    • SUSE Enterprise Linux Desktop 11 sp3 and 12: 64-bit only

Sourcery CodeBench is built as a 32-bit application. Therefore, even when running on a 64-bit host system, Sourcery CodeBench requires 32-bit host libraries. If these libraries are not already installed on your system, you must install them before installing and using Sourcery CodeBench Lite. Consult your operating system documentation for more information about obtaining these libraries.

1.2.2. Host Hardware Requirements

The amount of disk space required for a complete Sourcery CodeBench Lite installation directory depends on the host operating system and the number of target libraries included. When you start the graphical installer, it checks whether there is sufficient disk space before beginning to install. Note that the graphical installer also requires additional temporary disk space during the installation process. On Microsoft Windows hosts, the installer uses the location specified by the TEMP environment variable for these temporary files. If there is not enough free space on that volume, the installer prompts for an alternate location. On Linux hosts, the installer puts temporary files in the directory specified by the TMP environment variable, or /tmp if that is not set.

1.2.3. Target System Requirements

See Chapter 2, “Sourcery CodeBench Lite for MIPS ELF” for requirements that apply to the target system.
