   * Use correct architecture 'ARCHFLAGS' (default is cortex-m0 / thumb). See [GCC ARM Options](https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.7.3/gcc/ARM-Options.html) `-mcpu=name`.

+### Building for Raspberry Pi

+Example `Makefile.common` changes for Rasperry Pi with Cortex-A53:
+
+1. Change ARCHFLAGS to `ARCHFLAGS = -mcpu=cortex-a53 -mthumb -mabi=aapcs` to specify Cortex-A53.
+2. Comment out `SRC_LD`, since custom memory map is not applicable.
+3. Clear `TOOLCHAIN`, so it will use default `gcc`. Set `TOOLCHAIN = `
+4. Comment out `LDFLAGS += --specs=nano.specs --specs=nosys.specs` to disable newlib-nano.

+Note: To comment out a line in a Makefile use place `#` in front of line.
