Setting up the toolchain for an Ubuntu based system

Many instructions are grabbed from here: [http://www.strainu.ro/programming/embedded/programming-for-the-tiva-c-launchpad-on-linux/]

Installing the compiler.

Ubuntu has an incorrect cross compiler, so make sure the installed compiler comes from the PPA below

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:terry.guo/gcc-arm-embedded
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-none-eabi=4-8-2014q2-0trusty10

Setting up the ICDI debugger

echo 'ATTRS{idVendor}=="1cbe", ATTRS{idProduct}=="00fd", GROUP="users", MODE="0660"' | \
> sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/99-stellaris-launchpad.rules

Tool chain information

• GCC Version 4.8.4
