How to cross-compile for MIPS?

Question

I have a DVB receiver (set-top box) similar like Dreambox and it has MIPS cpu

It has embedded Linux and I can connect to it with telnet

Question is how to compile simple "Hello World" application in C? Where to get toolchain, SDK?

Solution 1

You should use Codescape SDK.

Solution 2

http://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/Toolchains

There you have some prebuilt cross compilers, or the instruction to build GCC as a cross compiler.
