buildroot will output a toolchain for whichever c library you select (from one it supports at least). I prefer it for my embedded playing: http://buildroot.uclibc.org/
<t>Pretty much all open source software for Linux will run on ARM.<br/> <br/> If you run Debian, you can run straight out of the ARM repository if you like.<br/> <br/> If you run Gentoo the packages are built for ARM from portage.<br/> <br/> Just as examples, anyway.<br/> <br/> As for the closed sou...

The printer then has a 6-pin connector (similar to RJ11, not sure the specification) to the cash drawer to allow opening it to exchange c...
