How to install CodeSourcery ARM Cross-Compiler on Mac

ARM EABI Version
RTOS systems or bare metal systems where no operating system is present. These configurations should not be used to build Linux kernels or applications.

The source tarball includes:
binutils-2010.09-51.tar.bz2
cloog-2010.09-51.tar.bz2
coreutils-2010.09-51.tar.bz2
expat-2010.09-51.tar.bz2
gcc-2010.09-51.tar.bz2
gdb-2010.09-51.tar.bz2
gmp-2010.09-51.tar.bz2
libelf-2010.09-51.tar.bz2
libiconv-2010.09-51.tar.bz2
make-2010.09-51.tar.bz2
mpc-2010.09-51.tar.bz2
mpfr-2010.09-51.tar.bz2
newlib-2010.09-51.tar.bz2
ppl-2010.09-51.tar.bz2
zlib-2010.09-51.tar.bz2

How to rebuild the toolchain from CodeSourcery released source tarball
$ git clone https://github.com/jsnyder/arm-eabi-toolchain.git
$ cd arm-eabi-toolchain
$ sudo make install-deps
$ sudo make install-cross

$ export PATH=$HOME/arm-cs-tools/bin:$PATH

ARM GNU/Linux Version
Systems running full Linux, i.e., Linux on CPUs with an MMU. Use Sourcery G++ to build both the Linux kernel and applications.

The source tarball includes:
The difference between these 2 versions are the C library and, of course, the Linux kernel source code.
glibc-2010.09-50.tar.bz2
glibc_localedef-2010.09-50.tar.bz2
glibc_ports-2010.09-50.tar.bz2

TuxScreen

A interesting gift from my friend! Thanks Descent.

The TuxScreen Phone is a limited edition StrongARM Linux project platform. Actually, StrongARM is the first ARM-based SoC that I have used in my career.
