Outdated(?) documentation #359

Open zilti opened 6 years ago

zilti commented 6 years ago

This paragraph from the "Installation on Linux" section is wrong/outdated:

A yotta target contains the information required by yotta in order to build a project for a specific combination of hardware. This includes the type of compiler. The microbit projects can build with both armcc and gcc, but as it gets installed with the yotta installer, we'll use gcc by default and choose a micro:bit specific target that knows about the hardware on the board.

Thanks @zilti, while yotta doesn't automatically install GCC, the instructions do include a step to install gcc-arm-none-eabi and most user will have probably followed it: http://docs.yottabuild.org/#linux-cross-compile

Perhaps we can rephrase it to make this more clear, do you have any suggestions?
