• Using Debian version buster/sid
• Install on Win10 PC with Virtualbox
  • ARM toolchain for Linux
  • GDB
  • Eclipse
  • Check installation with test project

Cloning UHSDR from Github, compiling and running (later)

See https://gnu-mcu-eclipse.github.io/toolchain/arm/install/ for general explanations

• Download the latest Linux install tarball file from ARMDeveloper (use Version 6-2017-q2-update, released: June 28, 2017)
• Link to download: https://developer.arm.com/open-source/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm/downloads
• Assuming downloaded file is in /home/gerd/Downloads, open terminal with user gerd:

$ mkdir -p ${HOME}/opt
$ cd ${HOME}/opt
$ tar xjf ~/Downloads/gcc-arm-none-eabi-6-2017-q2-update-linux.tar.bz2
$ chmod -R -w /home/gerd/opt/gcc-arm-none-eabi-6-2017-q2-update/

• Test if the compiler is functional; use the actual install path:

$ /home/gerd/opt/gcc-arm-none-eabi-6-2017-q2-update//bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc-6.3.1 --version

• Output should be like this:

arm-none-eabi-gcc-6.3.1 (GNU Tools for ARM Embedded Processors 6-2017-q2-update) 6.3.1 20170620 (release) [ARM/embedded-6-branch revision 249437]

GDB 7.12 distributed with the initial GCC 6.2 (gcc-arm-none-eabi-6_2-2016q4-20161216) has several issues (crashes on macOS and is incompatible with Neon.2). The recommendation is to use the update version gcc-arm-none-eabi-6-2017-q1-update, or later.

$ tar xvf /home/gerd/Downloads/20180125-1917-gnumcueclipse-4.3.2-oxygen-2-linux.gtk.x86_64.tar.gz 

• Launch eclipse to test installation

/home/gerd/opt/GnuMcuEclipse/eclipse/eclipse 

(grg seems not necessary, check installed plugins. first try if those compile run debug)

• See https://gnu-mcu-eclipse.github.io/plugins/install/
• In Eclipse: Help→Install new software, choose “work with GNU MCU Eclipse Plug-ins - http://gnu-mcu-eclipse.netlify.com/v4-neon-updates”. Then select these packages:
  • GNU MCU C/C++ ARM Cross Compiler
  • GNU MCU C/C++ Documentation (Placeholder)
  • GNU MCU C/C++ OpenOCD Debugging
  • (GNU MCU C/C++ QEMU) ??
  • GNU MCU C/C++ STM32Fx Project Templates

(/grg)

• Build a test project to see if all ok https://gnu-mcu-eclipse.github.io/tutorials/blinky-arm/
