This flag is necessary in LLVM 15 because it appears that LLVM 15 has
changed the default target ABI from lp64 to lp64d. This results in a
linker failure. Setting the "target-abi" forces the RISC-V backend to
use the intended target ABI.
The target triples have to match mostly to be able to link LLVM modules.
Linking LLVM modules is already possible (the triples already match),
but testing becomes much easier when they match exactly.
For macOS, I picked "macosx10.12.0". That's an old and unsupported
version, but I had to pick _something_. Clang by default uses
"macos10.4.0", which is much older.
You can now debug the ESP32-C3 from the TinyGo command line, like this:
tinygo flash -target=esp32c3 examples/serial
tinygo gdb -target=esp32c3 examples/serial
It's important to flash before running `tinygo gdb`, because loading a
new firmware from GDB has not yet been implemented.
Probably the easiest way to connect to the ESP32-C3 is by using the
built-in JTAG connection. See:
https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32c3/api-guides/jtag-debugging/configure-builtin-jtag.html
You will need to make sure that the `openocd` command in your $PATH is
the one from Espressif. Otherwise GDB will hang. You can debug this by
supplying the -ocd-output flag:
$ tinygo gdb -target=esp32c3 -ocd-output examples/serial

openocd: embedded:startup.tcl:60: Error: Can't find interface/esp_usb_jtag.cfg
openocd: in procedure 'script'

Make sure to configure OpenOCD correctly, until you get the correct
version (that includes the string "esp32"):
$ openocd --version

If you are on Linux, you may also get the following error:
$ tinygo gdb -target=esp32c3 -ocd-output examples/serial

openocd: Error: libusb_open() failed with LIBUSB_ERROR_ACCESS

The error LIBUSB_ERROR_ACCESS means that there is a permission error.
You can fix this by creating the following file:
$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/50-esp.rules
# ESP32-C3
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="303a", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1001", MODE="0666"

This commit changes a target triple like "armv6m-none-eabi" to
"armv6m-unknown-unknow-eabi". The reason is that while the former is
correctly parsed in Clang (due to normalization), it wasn't parsed
correctly in LLVM meaning that the environment wasn't set to EABI.
This change normalizes all target triples and uses the EABI environment
(-eabi in the triple) for Cortex-M targets.
This change also drops the `--target=` flag in the target JSON files,
the flag is now added implicitly in `(*compileopts.Config).CFlags()`.
This removes some duplication in target JSON files.
Unfortunately, this change also increases code size for Cortex-M
targets. It looks like LLVM now emits calls like __aeabi_memmove instead
of memmove, which pull in slightly more code (they basically just call
the regular C functions) and the calls themself don't seem to be as
efficient as they could be. Perhaps this is a LLVM bug that will be
fixed in the future, as this is a very common occurrence.
