Please select a package to install:

It's also possible to specify version and target patterns or configure the script for unattended installation (see below).

Usage

You can simply clone the repo and run the script:

git clone https://github.com/mpekurin/arm-gnu-toolchain-install.git
cd arm-gnu-toolchain-install/
./arm-gnu-toolchain-install.sh [options...]

Or use the process substitution:

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mpekurin/arm-gnu-toolchain-install/main/arm-gnu-toolchain-install.sh) [options...]

Options

-h

Show help and exit.

-v <pattern>

Use the pattern to filter the suggested packages by their version. The default pattern is \d+\.\d+\.\D+\d+ which matches any version.

E.g. using -v .*rel\\d+ will make the script suggest only the release versions.

-t <pattern>

Use the pattern to filter the suggested packages by their target. The default pattern is .* which matches any target.

E.g. using -t arm-none-eabi will make the script suggest only the packages for arm-none-eabi targets.

-l

Install the latest version available. This is equal to selecting the package with an index of 0. Combined with -v and -t, this option is useful for unattended installation.

Examples

# Suggest only the packages of version 12.2
./arm-gnu-toolchain-install.sh -v 12.2\\D.*

# Suggest only the packages available for arm-none-eabi targets
./arm-gnu-toolchain-install.sh -t arm-none-eabi

# Suggest only the packages of version 12.2 for arm-none-eabi targets
./arm-gnu-toolchain-install.sh -v 12.2\\D.* -t arm-none-eabi

# Install the latest release version available for arm-none-eabi targets
./arm-gnu-toolchain-install.sh -v .*rel\\d+ -t arm-none-eabi -l
