Getting started Linux ARM Toolchain

Getting Started
#1

I may be dim, but i can’t get my head around how to install the ARM Toolchain on my Linux machine. Can someone give me help.

I can download and extract, but i can’t see where in the bashrc file where to add the specified text. Also i see lots of bashrc files, most connected to my anaconda distribution and sub environments.

I have a Seed.

Cheers, Will

#2

~/.bashrc is just a bash script that would run when you login. You can put commands in any order unless there’s some dependency between them. So just add everything you need in the end of this file.

#3

Ok thanks… I have found the file now and added the text.

I’m still hitting a brick wall though. I’m getting a 404 Not Found Error when i select the seed as the platform and choose a random example. I get the full information when i select any of the other platform options… eg. Pod.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Will

Here is the full print of the error i get when trying to REBUILD_LIBS.SH:

Ah, this brings up a good point about the Programmer application. The 404 is simply for the README of additional information. A lot of the DaisySP examples don’t have READMEs yet, but they’re very simple examples that generate sound based around one of the DaisySP modules.

I’ll start populating READMEs for those examples, and also fix up the 404 display message to simply say that additional information about the example is not available. As long as the “File Location” field updates you can still program the example to your Daisy even if there is no additional info.

As for your arm-none-eabi-gcc issues, I haven’t personally seen that issue, but it looks like it could be a binary incompatibility with your machines architecture. Can you describe the machine you’re trying to run (processor architecture, distro, etc.)?

Also, there are a lot of places with the toolchain on the internet, looking at the arm developer site, this is most likely the toolchain you want It’s the x86_64 linux binaries.

Ah thanks, that does make some sense now!
