Cross compile application for VIBEQ / ARCA-V2

Setup ARM Cross-Compiler GCC

Download and extract the ARM Cross compiler linaro gcc. From now on consider ~/ is the root directory of compilation setup.

~/

wget -c https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/6.5-2018.12/arm-linux-gnueabihf/gcc-linaro-6.5.0-2018.12-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz
tar xf gcc-linaro-6.5.0-2018.12-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz
