CORTEX_MPS2_QEMU_IAR_GCC: fatal error: stdlib.h: No such file or directory

I followed the tutorial “Documentation/02-Kernel/03-Supported-devices/04-Demos/03-Emulation-and-simulation/QEMU/freertos-on-qemu-mps2-an385-model”, but when I try to build it (typing “make”) I see the error:

$ make

I already did git submodule update --init --recursive and it still doesn’t work. My toolchain version is:

$ arm-none-eabi-gcc --version

P.S. I’m new to FreeRTOS project and I don’t know how that should work, sorry if this is a stupid question or a duplicate one

Hi @AlexRusuf
Welcome to the FreeRTOS Community Forums !
It seems stdio.h might be missing in this version of arm-none-eabi-gcc . I am able to build the demo using this version

arm-none-eabi-gcc --version
arm-none-eabi-gcc (15:9-2019-q4-0ubuntu1) 9.2.1 20191025 (release) [ARM/arm-9-branch revision 277599]

You can try installing libnewlib-arm-none-eabi to see if that fixes the issue.

Thank you, this works for me! The only remark is that in AUR packages this one is called arm-none-eabi-newlib.
