Trump budget slashes agencies to focus on wall, defense
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Donald Trump unveiled a $1.15 trillion budget on Thursday, a far-reaching overhaul of federal government spending that slashes many domestic programs to finance a significant increase in the military and make a down payment on a U.S.-Mexico border wall.
Trump's proposal seeks to upend Washington with cuts to long-promised campaign targets like foreign aid and the Environmental Protection Agency as well as strong congressional favorites such as medical research, help for homeless veterans and community development grants.
"A budget that puts America first must make the safety of our people its number one priority - because without safety, there can be no prosperity," Trump said in a message accompanying his proposed budget that was titled "America First: A Budget Blueprint to Make America Great Again."
The $54 billion boost for the military is the largest since President Ronald Reagan's Pentagon buildup in the 1980s, promising immediate money for troop readiness, the fight against Islamic State militants and procurement of new ships, fighter jets and other weapons. The 10 percent Pentagon boost is financed by $54 billion in cuts to foreign aid and domestic agencies that had been protected by former President Barack Obama.
The budget goes after the frequent targets of the party's staunchest conservatives, eliminating the National Endowment for the Arts, legal aid for the poor, low-income heating assistance and the AmeriCorps national service program established by former President Bill Clinton.
"This is a hard power budget, not a soft power budget," said White House budget director Mick Mulvaney.
Such programs were the focus of lengthy battles dating to the GOP takeover of Congress in 1995 and have survived prior attempts to eliminate them. Lawmakers will have the final say on Trump's proposal in the arduous budget process, and many of the cuts will be deemed dead on arrival. Mulvaney acknowledged to reporters that passing the cuts could be an uphill struggle and said the administration would negotiate over replacement cuts.
"This is not a take-it-or-leave-it budget," Mulvaney said.
Law enforcement agencies like the FBI would be spared, while the border wall would receive an immediate $1.4 billion infusion in the ongoing fiscal year, with another $2.6 billion planned for the 2018 budget year starting Oct. 1.
Trump repeatedly claimed during the campaign that Mexico would pay for the wall when, in fact, U.S. taxpayers will foot the bill.
Twelve of the government's 15 Cabinet agencies would absorb cuts under the president's proposal. The biggest losers are Agriculture, Labor, State, and the Cabinet-level EPA. The Defense Department, Department of Homeland Security and Department of Veterans Affairs are the winners.
More than 3,000 EPA workers would lose their jobs and programs such as Obama's Clean Power Plan, which would tighten regulations on emissions from power plants seen as contributing to global warming, would be eliminated. Popular EPA grants for state and local drinking and wastewater projects would be preserved, however, even as research into climate change would be eliminated.
Trump's proposal covers only roughly one-fourth of the approximately $4 trillion federal budget, the discretionary portion that Congress passes each year. It doesn't address taxes, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, or make predictions about deficits and the economy. Those big-picture details are due in mid-May, and are sure to show large - probably permanent - budget deficits. Trump has vowed not to cut Social Security and Medicare and is dead set against raising taxes.
"The president's going to keep his promises" to leave Social Security and Medicare alone, Mulvaney said.
But the budget increases user fees, boosting the airline ticket tax by $1 per one-way trip. It would also slash subsidies for the federal flood insurance program that's a linchpin for the real estate market, especially in coastal southern states and the Northeast.
The so-called "skinny budget" is indeed skimpy, glossing over cuts to many sensitive programs such as community health centers, national parks, and payments for rural schools, offering only a vague, two-page summary of most agencies, including the Pentagon, where allocating its additional billions is still a work in progress.
Trump's proposal is sure to land with a thud on Capitol Hill, and not just with opposition Democrats outraged over cuts to pet programs such as renewable energy, climate change research and rehabilitation of housing projects.
Republicans like Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio are irate over planned elimination of a program to restore the Great Lakes. Top Republicans like Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker of Tennessee are opposed to drastic cuts to foreign aid. And even GOP defense hawks like Armed Services Committee Chairman Mac Thornberry of Texas aren't satisfied with the $54 billion increase for the military.
Before the two sides go to war over Trump's 2018 plan, they need to clean up more than $1.1 trillion in unfinished agency budgets for the current year. A temporary catchall spending bill expires April 28; negotiations have barely started and could get hung up over Trump's request for the wall and additional border patrol and immigration enforcement agents, just for starters.
Some of the most politically sensitive domestic programs would be spared, including food aid for pregnant women and their children, housing vouchers for the poor, aid for special education and school districts for the poor, and federal aid to historically black colleges and universities.
But the National Institutes of Health would absorb a $5.8 billion cut despite Trump's talk in a recent address to Congress of finding "cures to the illnesses that have always plagued us." Subsidies for airlines serving rural airports in Trump strongholds would be eliminated. It would also shut down Amtrak's money-losing long-distance routes and kill off a popular $500 million per-year "TIGER Grant" program for highway projects created by Obama.

Updates & Current Activities
Learning from COVID-19:Shaping a Health and Human Rights Agenda for our Region
We can't return to status quo if we are to prevent the multiple breakdowns and failures we're now seeing with COVID-19. Resilience and long-term, community well-being requires dramatic improvements to public infrastructure and support for housing, food, & health security. We're working with diverse groups in the community to host this forum series and build a strong people's movement to help us realize a society that prioritizes equity and the human right to health, so that every member of our community can live dignified lives. Click here for details, recordings and summaries of past discussions
Pittsburgh Human Rights City Alliance Steering Committee Members named to Mayor's Community Task Force on Police Reform Community leaders Brandi Fisher, President and CEO of the Alliance for Police Accountability and Monica Ruiz, Executive Director of Casa San Jose, have been tasked with helping our city develop a plan to review existing policing practices and policies and make recommendations. Here is the outline of the City's Agenda for Police Reform.
- Campaign for Reparations & Racial Justice: Building a human rights city requires efforts to remedy past injustices and ensure that all residents have equitable opportunities to thrive. The International Decade on People of African Descent (2015-2024) and the 400th anniversary of the first auction of enslaved Africans in North America provides an opportunity for renewing conversations about how we can address persistent inequities resulting from the United States's brutal history of slavery and genocide against people of African descent and indigenous peoples.

Bringing Human Rights Home
*UPR Pittsburgh Bringing Global Human Rights Home: Pittsburgh's Human Rights Assessment & the United Nations Together with human rights defenders around the country, Pittsburgh residents are working to bring the stories and accounts of human rights conditions in our region to the United Nations through the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) process. Over 2019-2020, the United States human rights record will be reviewed by international representatives and human rights experts, and the UN will issue a formal report with recommendations to the US government for improving respect for the country's international human rights obligations. A key to the UPR's effectiveness is engagement from civil society, and we're working to provide opportunities for residents to learn about human rights and the UPR process as we generate ideas for how we can make Pittsburgh and Southwest PA places where human rights thrive.

(by local water activist Caitlin Schroering).
- Pittsburgh for CEDAW Coalition helps bring Pittsburgh Human Rights Recognition In March 2019, the NGO Committee on the Status of Women/New York awarded Mayor Peduto the Cities for CEDAW Global Leadership Award for his work to implement sustaining policies which eliminate all forms of discrimination against women at the local level.

Human Rights Budgeting-Ideas and Resources for transforming how our city plans: This page shares links and background resources about how activists around the world are working to change the scripts of local politics to prioritize human rights over economic measures of progress. We believe that urban planning and development should be explicit in its attention to human rights and equity. More democratic budgeting processes are key to making this happen, and that means we all need to learn more about how city budgeting works and how it could be re-organized to engage more of the people who live in our region.

Environmental audits from SGS ensure that factories and suppliers conform to national and international regulations.
To ensure that your factories and suppliers conform to national and international regulations or meet industry good practice in terms of environmental management, SGS performs environmental audits around the world. You can choose from two types of audit:
- Environmental audit – a sharp analysis and corrective action plan
- A supplier improvement program – auditing, training, and coaching your supplier to ensure conformity with Foundational practices and support continuous improvement to achieve progressive and aspirational practices
Our audit program focuses on these elements:
- Environmental management system
- Energy use, transport and greenhouse gases
- Emissions to air
- Water use, including wastewater/effluents
- Waste management
- Pollution prevention/hazardous and potentially hazardous substances
- Major incident prevention and management
- Contaminated land/soil and groundwater pollution prevention
- Land use and biodiversity
Industry Collaboration
The SGS Environmental Conformity Assessment checklist is based on the GSCP EMS program, it can be applied to any product category. Industry initiatives are developing tools to assess the performance of the supply chain and drive continuous improvement:
- Higg index of the Sustainable Apparel Coalition
- Zero Discharge of Hazardous (ZDHC) Program
SGS is also an active member of the Sustainable Apparel Coalition and the ZDHC industry groups. SGS experts contribute to the development of the Higg index Facilities Environmental Module and are actively involved in the Higg index verification program.
Depending on the objectives of your company, SGS can help with the development and management of a comprehensive program to support the implementation of continuous improvement practices. The initial assessment can be combined with training, monitoring, coaching and certification solutions tailored to the need of each facility. This holistic solution typically includes:
- Higg index training, to explain the results of the Higg assessment and help prepare a performance improvement plan
- Hazardous Substance Control workshop to help facilities implement good chemical management practices
- Wastewater effluent testing according to the ZDHC wastewater guideline to monitor wastewater quality, and identify the root cause of potential issues
- Energy assessment by an energy management expert to build a medium and long term plan to increase energy efficiency and reduce green house gas emissions
- Leverage the Bluesign bluefinder to support the procurement of safe chemicals
- Other solutions can be developed according to your goals
Please request a consultation with one of our experts in order to obtain more information and obtained a proposal tailored to your needs.

What is the benefit of attending a PSC professional soccer tryout near Netherlands, Europe?
Players often ask us at PSC how to make the transition from amateur to professional soccer player in places near Netherlands, Europe. The answer is simple, impress a coach of a pro soccer team enough for them to want to sign you. The answer may be simple, but the process, is not. Pro Head Coaches are busy, and have large amounts of resumes, videos, recommendations sent to them each day and do not physically have the time to process them all.
That is why so many of them use our professional soccer tryout as a vehicle to find untapped talent in the USA. At our soccer tryout near Netherlands, Europe, players will play 11v11 games directly in front of attending Head Coaches and Scouts with the aim of impressing enough to be offered a professional contract and begin their soccer career.
Here at PSC we organize and facilitate soccer events so that coaches have the opportunity to not only watch attending players, but also the opportunity to coach them in a team environment. Each team at our professional soccer tryout is assigned a head coach who will meet with the team prior to the game, and coach them during the game, giving them the valuable one to one interaction which allows them to make a more accurate judgment and evaluation of a player.
Although the aim of the soccer tryout is to showcase, and not development, this one to one attention from player to coach allows players to get instant feedback and work on areas of their game which may be preventing them making the step into the pro game.
PSC's combines offer you the chance to showcase your skills in front of our staff and guest coaches, if you are interested in attending one of our upcoming professional soccer tryout, and showcasing yourself directly to the coaches and scouts in attendance, please check out all our upcoming professional soccer tryout events near Netherlands, Europe by clicking below:

Integral Designs South Col eVent
This bivy stuffs smaller than a soda can.
Brand: Integral Designs
Model: South Col eVent
Forget paper-thin emergency sacks. This bivy stuffs smaller than a soda can and weighs less than most T-shirts, yet with taped seams and waterproof/breathable nylon fabric, it fends off wind and rain. Designers skipped zippers and snaps, and used an ultralight 15-denier fabric.
The combo saves beaucoup weight, but makes proper entry technique crucial to prevent rips: Stand in the foot section and pull it over your head before kneeling or sitting. Once you're inside, it performs just like a classic bivy, including the minor condensation a tester felt during a winter storm in Utah. Downside: The ultrathin fabric needs TLC if you don't have a pad. $125; 6.7 oz.; montbell.us

General information
You start out by finding a suitable problem to solve. Then you write code to solve the problem. After this, you submit the code to us for review. We will then compile your code and run it on some secret input. After some careful deliberation, you will get a judgement informing you whether your code behaved as expected or not.
Your program should read its input from standard input and produce output on standard output.
This can for instance be done using
scanf /
Anything written on standard error
stderr will be ignored. This can be used for debugging your program during development (i.e., you do not have to remove debug output before submitting if you use standard error for debug output). Of course, writing to standard error will take some runtime.
Input will always follow the input specification (so you do not need to validate the input). Your output must follow the output specification.
Runtime settings
For Julia, we use julia version 1.8.5 with the following runtime flags:
File Extensions
Files with any of the following file extensions will be used:
System libraries
You are allowed to use all standard libraries included with Julia.
We are currently using Dell PowerEdge R230 servers for judging. These are equipped with an Intel Xeon E3-1220V6 CPU running at 3.0 GHz and 8 GB RAM. A 64-bit Linux kernel is used.
We will inspect the exit code of your program. If it is non-zero, we will judge your submission as Run Time Error.
Solving a problem
Now lets get down to business and write some code. The short tutorial below goes through the solution of A Different Problem.
Step 1: The problem
You are tasked with writing a program that computes the difference between integers. Sounds simple, doesn't it? Well, as we will see, the problem still holds some small difficulties.
Step 2: Reading the input
One thing to note is that the integers can be fairly large, as large as 1015, which is a lot larger than the maximum value of an Int32 (which is 231−1). Luckily, there is a 64 bit integer type in Julia, Int64, or just Int on 64-bit systems (like Kattis).
Now that we have determined a suitable type, we just have to read the data. Reading is done from standard input. In this problem, we should read until the end of the file (in other problems, there might be an integer at the beginning of the input, specifying how much to read, or there might be a special indicator denoting that there is nothing more to read). Using readlines, this can be done as below:
Step 3: Computing the answer
Now that we've read the input, it's time to actually solve the problem. Since 0 ≤ a, b ≤ 1015, we have that −(1015) ≤ a−b ≤ 1015, which means that there is no danger of overflow involved in just subtracting the two numbers a and b. Then, we can just take the absolute value by using the builtin abs function.
Finally, it's time to print the result. Using println (assuming the Int variable r holds the result):
Step 4: The solution
Now we are basically done, all that remains is to combine the above parts.
Here is a version of the complete solution.
Run-time Errors will often be reported as Time Limit Exceeded for low-timelimit problems. This is because it takes about a second to handle a Run-time Error in Julia; see this issue in the Julia github repository for more information.

Acne is a disorder of the hair follicles and sebaceous glands. Hair follicles are the areas around the base or root of each hair. Sebaceous glands are the tiny glands that release oil (sebum) into the hair follicles. The sebum moistens the skin and hair. The sebum and hair get to the skin surface through tiny holes called pores.
Acne is very common. Most children and young adults between ages 11 and 30 will have acne at some point. Acne most often begins in puberty. But it can happen at any age. There are different types of acne that affect newborns, infants, younger children, and adults.
Acne may occur when the pores gets clogged with dead skin cells and oil. Bacteria that are normally on the skin may also get into the clogged pore. Acne comes in several types. One type is a comedone. This is a plug of sebum in the hair follicle. They are either closed whiteheads, or open blackheads. These are not inflamed or infected.
Inflamed acne causes red, painful bumps or sores. The sores may be infected with bacteria. This type of acne includes:
The cause of acne is not fully understood. Acne is linked with:
Acne can occur anywhere on the body. It is most common in areas where there are more sebaceous glands, such as:
Symptoms can occur a bit differently in each child. They can include:
The symptoms of acne can be like other health conditions. Make sure your child sees his or her healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
Treatment will depend on your child's symptoms, age, and general health. It will also depend on how severe the condition is. The goal of acne treatment is to improve the skins appearance and to lessen the chance of scarring. Treatment for acne will include gentle, regular skin care. Your child's healthcare provider may advise:
Topical medicines are often prescribed to treat acne. These can be in the form of a cream, gel, lotion, or liquid. These may include:
Medicines to take by mouth may be prescribed, such as:
Acne can be a long-term condition. Early treatment can help to prevent or lessen severe acne. Help your child by:
Call your child's healthcare provider if:

Baby bananas
The coffee fields were full of these banana trees that grow multiple shells of tiny bananas betwixt each of the layers of the leaves. These trees are scattered all over the coffee crops to deter wind erosion.
Sometimes the tiny bananas fall on the heads of migrant workers, which is nature's way of punishing them for being migrant workers.

Getting Started on the South Beach Diet
1. Start By Reading the Book
2. Learn About the Glycemic Index
3. Get Rid of Foods You No Longer Want to Eat
4. Stock Up on Low-Glycemic Foods
5. Decide How You Will Track Your Weight
As soon as I started the diet, I bought a digital scale and put it in a prominent spot in my kitchen. On the counter I put a week-at-a-glance calendar. Each morning I weighed myself as soon as I got up and wrote it on that calendar. I know many experts say you shouldn't weight yourself every day, but it worked for me. I still have that same scale and a calendar in the same spot, although now I sometimes go days without remembering to weigh!
6. Take Measurements When You First Start
This is something I really wish I had done from the start, because after a few months of dieting I realized sometimes I wasn't losing that much weight, but my clothes were getting looser. I did take measurements a few times that first year, but I wish I had a way of knowing exactly how many inches I lost, especially on my waist, which is where the South Beach Diet really works miracles.
7. Plan How to Fit Exercise Into Your Life
If anyone tells you that you'll be able to maintain your perfect weight and optimum health without exercising, don't believe them! The truth is that diet and exercise are meant to go together for good health and weight control. You don't need to turn into a gym rat, but you will look and feel better if you manage to exercise fairly vigorously 3-4 times a week. I think lots of types of exercise are good; the important thing is finding something you'll stick with. I'm a fan of walking for exercise, (and always have good intentions of doing yoga and pilates more frequently!)
8. Schedule in Food Prep Time on the Weekend
When I started eating the South Beach Diet way, I used to spend hours on the weekend cooking things and freezing them. That way I always had plenty of options to take for lunch to school or eat when I got home late and didn't have time to cook. Now I don't cook ahead quite as much, but I still spend at least an hour every weekend washing lettuce, cutting up veggies, and prepping other foods to cook during the week. That's my way of making sure I have food ready to keep me on track. (I've never been so organized that I actually planned my meals for the week in advance, but that could be a great diet strategy if you're that kind of person.)
9. Plan Snacks to Take With You When You're Away From Home
One of the things I started doing early on in my South Beach Diet routine was planning snacks to take with me when I was away from home. On Monday I'd take a bag of snacks to work, and if I was going to be out and about I'd take snacks in the car. Snacks were something that helped prevent me from feeling deprived, and South Beach actually encourages eating a snack between meals for the first two phases of the diet. I wrote a post about My Top Ten Favorite South Beach Diet snacks if you'd like some ideas.
10. Check with Your Doctor if You Have a Lot of Weight to Lose
I actually didn't tell my doctor when I started the South Beach Diet, but if you need to lose a significant amount of weight, I highly recommend that you do check with your doctor when you start. Just for the record, when I started on South Beach I was on medication for cholesterol and blood pressure both, and now I don't need medication for either. My own doctor is a South Beach Diet fan, especially after seeing those results and how I've been able to maintain the weight loss, with a few tune-ups along the way! Occasionally I'll get e-mails from other patients of his saying he has recommended my blog to them to help them stick to the diet.
Whew. I think it's been more than six months since I promised a fellow food blogger I would write this post. I hope it will be helpful to anyone who's considering the diet. As I mentioned, I'll be doing phase one myself for the next few weeks, although maybe not phase one for the whole month, like I did last January! You can always find plenty of phase one ideas in the recipe archives on the left, where every recipe indicates which phase of the diet it would be suitable for.
If anyone is reading this who's also a committed South Beach Dieter, I'd love to hear about your success in the comments.

How to Earn the Nickname "Grandpa" at Four Years-Old
While eating cantaloupe remark that it is, "Such a lovely melon."
When at home, insist on wearing sweatpants instead of "regulars."
Pull the waistband of your at-home sweatpants up to your nipples.
When a passenger in a car, worry loudly from the backseat that, "we are lost and going too fast."
When you drop your light saber whisper under your breath, "For the love of Pete."
Shun unheated swimming pools, but enjoy some "relax time" in the hot tub.
Fall asleep during reruns of JAG.
Answer the phone by putting the call on speaker phone and shouting "Hello? Hello? Who is this?"
Grunt when getting in and out of the car.
When dining at Shaker's Coffee Shop, order "the usual."
Have your folks bless you with the name, Bob Rosenberg.

Awe cute! Happy SITS day!ReplyDelete
Oh this is EXACTLY my son! My husband and I joke all the time that he is really a 90-year-old grandma stuck in a 4-year-old boy's body. He loves his veggies, is sure to point out someone not following the rules, and uses vocabulary that is definitely not from this decade. Congrats on being featured on SITS!ReplyDelete
This is too funny! I think my husband does some these, lol. Grandpa? Or old soul? Too cute.ReplyDelete
Saying hi from SITs and LOL in the middle of the Whole Foods dining section while sitting by myself. My "old man" son at the ripe age of 3 was full of such grandpa speak. For example, while I tried to put together the new toy caddy for the bathtub frantically staring at the picture and the million parts, he watched and observed. After my first attempt, he calmly said: "Unfortunately, that's wrong." Who says unfortunately when they're 3? And the worst part - he was RIGHT!! It was wrong.ReplyDelete
Hope you are having a great day. I'll be back for some more laughs.
Love it. What a fun boy!ReplyDelete
Oh my gosh, too funny! Happy belated SITS Day!ReplyDelete
Haha! I can relate to some of those things with my kids tooReplyDelete
"For the love of Pete", TOTALLY old man style. He rocks. Happy Belated SITS Day!!ReplyDelete
That's great! I can so see him shaking his head and saying "For the love of Pete." Happy SITS day!ReplyDelete
Bahahaha!! Hilarious! Little old man in training:)ReplyDelete
Awe that's so cute!!ReplyDelete

Stop the Presses! I Have to Brag on Jeff.
Also, I would be remiss if I didn't point out that you can pre-order a copy here. (It releases in September.) All royalties will benefit the purchase of pretty things and fancy dinners for me. Kidding! (Sort of.)
Yay, Jeff!

Holy S**t!! What can I say except this is great. I love sci-fi and suspense novels so this is right up my alley.ReplyDelete
Absolutely wonderful for you and Jeff. The cover is stunning. I am also a fan of this genre and will certainly look forward to reading it. I have a family member who writes educational books, not quite the same of course, but with each book published he buys one special item/piece of art/ or fab car to commemorate the release. A little something to think about:)ReplyDelete
Congrats to Jeff! My son is a huge Hunger Games fan, so this will be a nice birthday gift for him.ReplyDelete
I love the cover! I have a special place in my heart for Ferris Wheels (they pay the bills around here). I'll be getting a copy for sure!ReplyDelete
Congrats to Jeff!!ReplyDelete
Congratulations to Jeff and the cover is great! I am not sure if it is a horror novel but if it is he should get the publisher to send a copy to Rue Morgue magazine for a review :)ReplyDelete
Yay Jeff indeed!!! I'm going to pre-order.ReplyDelete
Thank you for sharing. I am a post-apocalyptic book fan, and can't wait to read it!ReplyDelete
Thanks everyone! It's all incredibly exciting. I saw the cover and blurb awhile ago but getting to share it with all you guys makes it seems new all over again!ReplyDelete
Congrats to Jeff! And may you buy many pretty things.ReplyDelete
That's great! I will also ask whether it'll be available on Kindle...ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing in the excitement, everyone! It warms my heart. :)ReplyDelete
I'm sure it will be available on Kindle, but it usually takes them some time to get the pre-order link on the product page.
Looking forward to reading it! I've been following Jeff's blog from afar - as a professional reader (scripts, not books), it's always interesting to hear about the creative process from a different perspective. Is there a UK publication date scheduled or should one order the American edition?ReplyDelete
How wonderful! What an amazing accomplishment it must be to write (and publish) a book.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 17, 2011 at 6:35 PM
Awesomeness. . . as a librarian, I can assure you that this book will be a hit (at least in our area). I just did the request slip. One public library down, a zillion more to go. . . Congratulations. And you can let Jeff know that I support your purchase of pretty things. :-)ReplyDelete
Wow, exciting news indeed. May it go straight to the top; and may it yield many pretty things for his lovely and supportive wife. hehe k.ReplyDelete
Pre-ordered!!! I love post-acoplyptic books! Can't wait to read it!ReplyDelete
What an eerie cover. Looks interesting.ReplyDelete
oooooooh end of the world stuff... i don't know why, when i can't watch the real news, but i eat this stuff up! big congratulations to jeff :)ReplyDelete
Job well done! Congradulations, Jeff.ReplyDelete
WooHOOO! Go Jeff and Go Hirsh's. You guys are bursting at the seams with awesome!ReplyDelete
Congrats! I'm putting a request in for our city library to order it. Bring on the royalties (and hopefully a very good book).ReplyDelete

The Padres are two back of the Giants in the NL West, with five games left to play, and they send recently-returned-from-the-DL Chris Young (1-0, 1.20) vs. Randy Wells (8-13, 4.28). Good luck with that.
The Giants on the other hand send Timmah Lincecum (15-10, 3.51) against Ian Kennedy (9-9, 3.76). San Francisco plays all of the rest of its games at home, including the season-ending series against the Padres.
UPDATE 7:24p: Mr F graded me poorly on this Scoreboard Watching post because I didn't mention the Padres play the Cubs and the Giants play the Snakes. I suppose he has a point.

A toolchain is a set of distinct software development tools that are linked (or chained) together by specific stages such as GCC, binutils and glibc (a portion of the GNU Toolchain). Optionally, a toolchain may contain other tools such as a Debugger or a Compiler for a specific programming language, such as ,C++. Quite often, the toolchain used for embedded development is a cross toolchain, or more commonly known as a cross compiler. All the programs (like GCC) run on a host system of a specific architecture (such as x86) but produce binary code (executables) to run on a different architecture (e.g. ARM). This is called cross compilation and is the typical way of building embedded software. It is possible to compile natively, running gcc on your target. Before searching for a prebuilt toolchain or building your own, it's worth checking to see if one is included with your target hardware's Board Support Package (BSP) if you have one.
- 1 Introduction
- 2 Toolchain components
- 3 Getting a toolchain
- 3.1 Prebuilt toolchains
- 3.2 Toolchain building systems
- 4 By Platform
When talking about toolchains, one must distinguish three different machines :
- the build machine, on which the toolchain is built
- the host machine, on which the toolchain is executed
- the target machine, for which the toolchain generates code
From these three different machines, we distinguish four different types of toolchain building processes :
- A native toolchain, as can be found in normal Linux distributions, has usually been compiled on x86, runs on x86 and generates code for x86.
- A cross-compilation toolchain, which is the most interesting toolchain type for embedded development, is typically compiled on x86, runs on x86 and generates code for the target architecture (be it ARM, MIPS, PowerPC or any other architecture supported by the different toolchain components)
- A cross-native toolchain, is a toolchain that has been built on x86, but runs on your target architecture and generates code for your target architecture. It's typically needed when you want a native gcc on your target platform, without building it on your target platform.
- A canadian build is the process of building a toolchain on machine A, so that it runs on machine B and generates code for machine C. It's usually not really necessary.
Toolchain components
The GNU Binutils are the first component of a toolchain. The GNU Binutils contains two very important tools :
- as, the assembler, that turns assembly code (generated by gcc) to binary
- ld, the linker, that links several object code into a library, or an executable
Binutils also contains a couple of other binary file manipulation or analysis tools, such as objcopy, objdump, nm, readelf, strip, and so on. The Binutils website has some documentation on all these tools.
C, C++, Java, Ada, Fortran, Objective-C compiler
The second major component of a toolchain is the compiler. In the embedded Linux, the only realistic solution today is GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection. Nowadays, as input, it not only supports C, but also C++, Java, Fortran, Objective-C and Ada. As output, it supports a very wide range of architectures.
C library
The C library implements the traditional POSIX API that can be used to develop userspace applications. It interfaces with the kernel through system calls, and provides higher-level services.
Realistically, there are nowadays two options for the C Library:
- glibc is the C library from the GNU project. It's the C library used by virtually all desktop and server GNU/Linux systems. It's feature-full, portable, complies to standards, but a bit bloated.
- Embedded GLIBC (EGLIBC) is a variant of the GNU C Library (GLIBC) optimized for embedded systems. Its goals include reduced footprint, support for cross-compiling and cross-testing, while maintaining source and binary compatibility with GLIBC.
- uClibc is an alternate C library, which features a much smaller footprint. This library can be an interesting alternative if flash space and/or memory footprint is an issue. However, the space advantages gained using uClibc are becoming less important as the price of memory & flash continues to drop. There are a few "gotcha"s when using uClibc. At time of writing(uClibc 0.9.28), locales are a bit ropey and the new Application Binary Interface (ABI) for ARM architectures (EABI) introduced with GCC 4.1.1 requires patches to be applied. This situation is likely to get better quickly as uClibc is under heavy development.
The C library has a special relation with the C compiler, so the choice of the C library must be done when the toolchain is generated. Once the toolchain has been built, it is no longer possible to switch to another library.
The debugger is also usually part of the toolchain, as a cross-debugger is needed to debug applications running on your target machine. In the embedded Linux world, the typical debugger is GDB.
Lazarus and Free Pascal
Free Pascal is a professional but free 32 bit / 64 bit compiler for Pascal and ObjectPascal. It supports a wide variety of processors and Linux distributions including the Raspberry Pi.
The Free Pascal toolchain is widely independent from GCC and other external tools. Major components are the Free Pascal compiler (FPC), a command-line tool, a text-mode IDE and, as an optional component, Lazarus, a full-featured GUI-based IDE. FPCUnit is a framework allowing for unit-testing.
On most platforms Free Pascal makes use of the GDB debugger.
Getting a toolchain
There are several ways to get a toolchain :
- Get a prebuilt toolchain, either from a vendor such as CodeSourcery, or probably inside the Board Support Package shipped with your hardware platform by the vendor. This is the easiest solution, as the toolchain is already built, and has supposedly been tested by the vendor. The drawback is that you don't have flexibility on your toolchain features (which C library ? hard-float or soft-float ? which ABI ?)
- Build a toolchain on your own. However, this can be a real pain. There are version dependency issues, patches required to make something work etc. etc. Check out this (obsolete) build matrix for crosstool and look at all the red "failed" entries.
- Build a toolchain using an automated tool. The community has built several scripts or more elaborate systems to ease the process of building a toolchain. This way, the recipes and patches needed to build a toolchain made of particular versions of the various components are shared and easily available.
Prebuilt toolchains
CodeSourcery develops Sourcery G++, an Eclipse based Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that incorporates the GNU Toolchain (gcc, gdb, etc.) for cross development for numerous target architectures. CodeSourcery provides a "lite" version for ARM, Coldfire, MIPS, SuperH and Power architectures. The toolchains are always very up to date. CodeSourcery contributes enhancements it makes to the GNU Toolchain upstream continually, making it the single largest (by patch count) corporate contributor.
Linaro (ARM)
Linaro releases optimized toolchains for recent ARM CPUs (Cortex A8, A9...). These include Linaro's latest contributions to mainline gcc, but backported to stable gcc versions for immediate use by product developers. Linaro actually hires CodeSourcery people to improve ARM toolchains, so the ARM toolchains that you get with Linaro should be at least as good as the CodeSourcery ones.
Native toolchains are available through the standard gcc toolchain in Ubuntu. Cross toolchains are available to Ubuntu users through special packages:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linaro-maintainers/toolchain sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi
Now find out the path and name of the cross-compiler executable by looking at the contents of the package:
dpkg -L gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi
Arch Linux users can install:
yaourt -S gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf
Linaro also makes source releases which can then be used by any build system (see below).
The DENX Embedded Linux Development Kit (ELDK) provides a complete and powerful software development environment for embedded and real-time systems. It is available for ARM, PowerPC and MIPS processors and consists of:
- Cross Development Tools (Compiler, Assembler, Linker etc.) to develop software for the target system.
- Native Tools (Shell, commands and libraries) which provide a standard Linux development environment that runs on the target system.
- Firmware (U-Boot) that can be easily ported to new boards and processors.
- Linux kernel including the complete source-code with all device drivers, board-support functions etc.
- Xenomai - RTOS Emulation framework for systems requiring hard real-time responses.
- SELF (Simple Embedded Linux Framework) as fundament to build your embedded systems on.
All components of the ELDK are available for free with complete source code under GPL and other Free Software Licenses. Also, detailed instructions to rebuild all the tools and packages from scratch are included.
The ELDK can be downloaded for free from several mirror sites or ordered on CD-ROM for a nominal charge (99 Euro). To order the CD please contact firstname.lastname@example.com
Detailed information about the ELDK is available here.
Scratchbox provides toolchains for ARM and x86 target architectures (with PowerPC, MIPS and CRIS in experimental stages but aren't making real progress since years, so Scratchbox should probably be considered ARM and x86 only). Both uClibc and glibc are supported.
Scratchbox simplifies cross compiling software which is built using GNU autotools - Code tests performed by configure are run in an emulator or even on the actual target. The toolchains scratchbox ships with are based on gcc 3.3 and as such are quite old, but stable and well tested. It should be pointed out that scripts to build custom toolchains are also provided with scratchbox allowing more recent gcc versions to be used.
Fedora ARM
Fedora ARM is a try to port Fedora to ARM. It provides some tools as an ARM toolchain packaged in RPM format. Link: Fedora ARM
Embedded Debian cross-tools packages
For Debian users, the toolchains problem is fairly reliably solved.
For a debian-based box just install pre-built cross toolchains from emdebian. Instructions are given here: http://www.emdebian.org/tools/crosstools.html
Supported build architectures are: i386, amd64, (and powerpc, ish) Targets insclude nearly all debian-supported architectures Compilers are gcc3.3, 3.4, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3. Lenny and sid are supported although the tools are inevitably slightly behind Debian proper.
http://www.emdebian.org/toolchains/search.php?section=devel gives a (long) listing of available packages.
emdebian-tools also provides the debian equivalent of crosstool ('emchain' to build your own version of current toolchain, should a suitable pre-built one not exist.
Free Pascal
Free Pascal is available for several processor architectures from http://www.freepascal.org, the Lazarus IDE from http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org.
Toolchain building systems
Buildroot is a complete build system based on the Linux Kernel configuration system and supports a wide range of target architectures. It generates root file system images ready to be written to flash. In addition to having a huge number of packages which can be compiled into the image, it also generates a cross toolchain to build those packages from source. Even if you don't want to use buildroot for your root filesystem, it is a useful tool for generating a toolchain. Buildroot supports uClibc, glibc, eglibc, and musl.
Crossdev (Gentoo)
Crossdev is specific to developers using Gentoo for their development PCs. It is a script which generates a cross toolchain using the portage build scripts for gcc etc. There are numerous architectures which are supported and both uClibc and glibc toolchains can be built. Link: Gentoo Crossdev info
Crosstool-NG is a well-maintained fork of crosstool, targeted at easier configuration, re-factored code, and a learning base on how toolchains are built, with support for both uClibc and glibc, for debug tools (gdb, strace, dmalloc...), and a wide range of versions for each tools. Different target architectures are supported as well. It offers a kernel-like configuration system to select the different configuration options of the toolchain (component versions, component configuration, etc.). Crosstool-NG has an active and responsive user and developer community.
Crossdev/tsrpm (Timesys)
Crossdev is a project sponsored by Timesys, completely unrelated to the Gentoo cross toolchain generation system. The projects main focus is on a tool called tsrpm which is used to build cross development toolchains and generate cross-compiled software packages. Currently only x86 and select PowerPC architectures are supported. Link: Crossdev
EmbToolkit is the first toolchain building system giving the choice to generate GCC or llvm/clang based toolchain.
EmbToolkit supports use of eglibc, glibc or uClibc as C Library and musl C library is also planned at time of writing.
EmbToolkit can be used to generate only a toolchain (usable in a external project), but it is also possible to generate various root filesystems.
The OSELAS.Toolchain() project aims at supplying a complete build system for recent GNU toolchains. It uses the PTXdist build system, a userland build system based on Kconfig. The current version 184.108.40.206 of OSELAS.Toolchain() contains support for arm, x86, avr, mips and PowerPC. In addition, there are toolchains for bare metal platforms like Cortex-M3 and AVR-8-Bit.

OSELAS.Toolchain() contains some further goodies like gcj support for ARM and mingw Support for x86. Link: OSELAS.Toolchain() Link: PTXdist
Bitbake is the tool used by OpenEmbedded. The best way to get started is probably by just building an existing distribution that uses openembedded (e.g. Ångström, see http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/building-ångström for details).
