I would recommend you use Buildroot <https://buildroot.org/> to build a
cross compiler and pretty much everything else you need to boot and run
linux (or your custom code) on your CPU. It takes a bit to configure it and
a while to build from scratch, but it works very well. Buildroot makes
building a cross compiler extremely simple. Building a whole (linux based)
system is complicated only because there are many, many choices to make -
the actual building is trivial.
