yeah, really good news. Now hopefully I do not have to maintain my own toolchain

[alyssaly]

Indeed nice~Many thanks !

Did anybody test it?

it does install and compile fine, but I haven't tried to upload the actual code.
I'll try to check this evening.

[noether]

Same here,

I will try it out this evening.

Just done that:
Size of various memory blocks exactly (to the byte) the same as from latest CodeSourcery release.
Code works perfectly well on my STM32-F4 Discovery board

Is this a toolchain that can run on Mac OS X?

[Badger]

It should compile just like the normal gcc does, e.g using something like summon-arm-toolchain. At least that's what I use on Mac, but I'm yet to try this new toolchain.

I'm able to use Yagarto, but it'd be nice to get the stuff straight from ARM (presumably they know what's best). The sources came in two parts, and I've never seen that compression app before, so I haven't tried to build it. But I hope the sources are fully combined, and will just build, rather than doing it all in stages.

That's probably too much to hope for, isn't it?
