Terminology

Throughout this document, the term host system refers to the system on which you run ARM Sourcery G++ Lite while the term target system refers to the system on which the code produced by ARM Sourcery G++ Lite runs. The target system for this version of ARM Sourcery G++ Lite is "arm-none-linux-gnueabi".

If you are developing a workstation or server application to run on the same system that you are using to run ARM Sourcery G++ Lite, then the host and target systems will be the same. On the other hand, if you are developing an application for an embedded system, then the host and target systems will probably be different.
