I am using Ubuntu 10.04 32 bit and I want to cross compile QT for the
DM3730 processor which is an Arm Cortex A8 core. [This is the
processor on the BeagleBoard-XM] I am not sure what Angstrom
toolchain I should download, my choices are:

angstrom-2009.X-test-20091021-armv7a-linux-gnueabi-toolchain.tar.bz2
angstrom-2009.X-test-20091214-armv5te-linux-gnueabi-toolchain-

Thanks!

QT has already been compiled, if you want to build your app for qt/e, grab the -qte toolchain. Another option is to compile it natively on the beagle, that would allow you to use qt/x11 as well.

All of them are listed as a -qte toolchain, does it matter what arm
version (armv5te or armv7a) I pick?
