Installation Instructions

To install the patch carry out the following steps:

1. Ensure that you are currently using RVCT 4.1. To do this, type:

   armcc --vsn

   and ensure that this returns RVCT 4.1 build 462 or later.

   
   

2. Extract all the files from the ZIP file into a temporary directory.

3. Copy the include directory from the temporary directory to replace your existing include directory. The existing directory can be located by the ARMCC41INC environment variable, e.g:

   C:\> set ARMCC41INC
   ARMCC41INC=C:\Program Files\ARM\RVCT\Data\4.1\462\include\

4. Copy the lib directory from the temporary directory to replace your existing lib directory. The existing directory can be located by the ARMCC41LIB environment variable, e.g.:

   C:\> set ARMCC41LIB
   ARMCC41LIB=C:\Program Files\ARM\RVCT\Data\4.1\462\lib\

5. Copy the win_32-pentium directory from the temporary directory to replace your existing win_32-pentiumdirectory. The existing directory can be located by the ARMCC41BIN environment variable, e.g.:

   C:\> set ARMCC41BIN
   ARMCC41BIN=C:\Program Files\ARM\RVCT\Programs\4.1\462\win_32-pentium\

6. The updated tools should now have been installed. To confirm this, open a DOS command prompt window and enter:

   armcc --vsn
   armlink --vsn
   armasm --vsn
   fromelf --vsn
   armar --vsn

   The version returned should be RVCT 4.1 build 514.
