I need to run some USB NCM related test cases for which i have written some test code in .c file. I have compiled the .c file from Ubuntu Host by using GCC compiler and trying to run from Device's console but i'm getting "-sh: Cannot execute binary file" error. Device side we don't have GCC installed.

uname -a command gives following o/p in,

> Host:

    4.4.0-31-generic Ubuntu x86_64

> Device:

    3.14.55-yocto-standard #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Oct 12 13:34:50 CEST 2018 i686 GNU/Linux

I understand that there is environment difference from Host to Device. Anyways i need to compile and execute .c file in device side console.

x86_64 and i686 instruction sets are not the same (for more details).

Use this command to compile source on your host : 

 gcc -m32 -mtune=i686 source.c -o source

if getting error like this fatal error: *.h : No such file or directory this means that you don't have proper a library for cross compilation 

 sudo apt install g++-multilib

And run gcc command again

Reference :

GCC man page
