Simpler toolchain setup for Linux #20

Closed ProExpertProg closed 3 years ago

ProExpertProg commented 4 years ago

As explained in #2, the toolchain instructions for Linux are incomplete, as they don't correctly add everything to your path.

It is much easier to simply install them with apt:

$ sudo apt update -y
$ sudo apt-get install -y gcc-arm-none-eabi

I think the docs should list this as the default installation method and provide the current one as backup. I've tested this on Ubuntu 20.04 using WSL and CLion and it works.

Also found a better way to install on Mac: https://github.com/ARMmbed/homebrew-formulae

$ brew tap ArmMbed/homebrew-formulae
$ brew install arm-none-eabi-gcc

Thanks for the tips

Also, using choco with Windows makes this much easier as well: choco install gcc-arm-embedded
