I am using the latest trunk source , but currently i am stuck with below linking error :
build/bin/ld.lld: error: unable to find library -lclang_rt.builtins-arm.a
I did downloaded the lib and provided the path in makefile but still its not picked up (ldd might be looking at a specific path for this).

Any help of this from your experience on building with clang.

Regards,
Kiran

Poke clang support?

WSL2 is OK for Linux compute stuff you want to do.
And even Docker containers work with desktop Docker for Windows.
But still no USB support....

I am 100% sure that USB support is not needed in order to compile ChibiOS with clang under WSL2

Clang should already be supported, I tried it a while ago, did something break in the meanwhile? (I will check)

See /os/common/startup/ARMCMx/compilers/LLVM/mk

Note that I tried the LLVM-based Hightec compiler, which is proprietary. Results were below GCC, especially for code size, so I have not given it much attention anymore.

I found this guide:

https://interrupt.memfault.com/blog/arm ... -baremetal

It shows how use the precompiled libraries in GCC with LLVM for targeting bare-metal, maybe you could give it a try.

Hello,

I will continue to use GCC for code generation, but CLANG offers very nice clang-tidy static analyser that is lacking in GCC.

It would be nice to try it, currently ChibiOS is checked using PClint, it is not free however.

I downloaded the latest clang+llvm (12.0.0) and gave it a whirl. A few problems.

* Looking at clang.mk, TRGT=aarch32 . This doesn't make sense, there are no programs in <clang-llvm-path>/bin that start with 'aarch32' . TRGT should be 'llvm' .
* Per the memfault interrupt blog post as well as others, it is recommended to use libc, libm, and builtins from the GNU ARM GCC distribution. I don't see anything in llvm/mk/rules.mk to suggest that it is doing that.
* LD is defined as clang. Not sure if the llvm linker is ready for prime-time, it didnt work on my end. I compiled with clang, and linked with arm-none-eabi-gcc and that worked.

Basically - how did you get it to work without addressing the above?
