Open Source Summit + Embedded Linux Conference Europe 2020

GCC has been primary C/C++ compiler for Linux in general and embedded Linux in particular for long however LLVM/Clang has been gaining support for many architectures prevalent in embedded designs e.g. RISCV, ARM, MIPS to name a few, however there are challanges in porting software from one compiler to another and clang has been inching steadily towards building many system components, this talk therefore will go in detail on where clang based toolchains stand in building embedded linux systems, and discuss challanges e.g. kernel and other key pieces e.g. system C libraries which are specialised pieces of software and how to port them effectively, It will also cover the additional tools coming with clang which makes it easy to develop software and provide additional tools to developers. Clang has become primary compiler for many major applications e.g. chromium browser etc. so it will also cover these areas too
