titleLinux Setup Procedure

Setting Up the Environment

  • Procedure written for a Debian Ubuntu environment, but the procedure can be easily adapted for any linux distro
  1. Install GNU ARM Embedded Toolchain
    1. Download  'arm-gnu-toolchain-??.?.rel?-x86_64-arm-none-eabi.tar.xz' from https://developer.arm.com/downloads/-/arm-gnu-toolchain-downloads
      1. On MacOS, you will want 'arm-gnu-toolchain-??.?.rel?-darwin-x86_64-arm-none-eabi.tar.xz'
    2. Extract code to desired directory.
      1. tar -xvf <gcc-arm-.tar.bz2>xz> -C <desired compiler location>
      2. the compile location should be somewhere permanent
    3. Set GCC_ARM_TOOLS_Add to PATH environment variable

      1. Edit shell's rc file's (~/.bashrc  or ~/.zshrc  depending on your shell and append the following line) PATH variable  

        Code Block
        languagebash
        themeMidnight
        export GCC_ARM_TOOLS_PATH=<your_path_to_gcc_arm>/bin

        On fish, it's ~/.config/fish/config.fish

Code Block
PATH=$PATH:<your_path_to_gcc_arm>/bin


  • On MacOS there are two possible locations you may need to put the line above. Execute the command below to determine where to place the line

    Code Block
    echo "$SHELL"

    If you got /bin/zsh  then add the export to ~/.zshrc , if you have /bin/bash then add the export to ~/.bash_profile .

  • Update environment
    1. Easiest way is to restart your shell (close & open the terminal window)

    2. source ~/.bashrc  or ~/.zshrc  or ~/.config/fish/config.fish 

    3. On MacOS source ~/.zshrc  if you have ZSH or ~/.bash_profile  if you have bash
