The GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain binaries used by STM32duino core supported by ST
1+
# The GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain binaries used by the [STM32 core](https://github.com/stm32duino/Arduino_Core_STM32) support for Arduino
2+
3+
## Rationale
4+
5+
Provide GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain binaries required during the installation of the [STM32 core](https://github.com/stm32duino/Arduino_Core_STM32) support for Arduino which required 4 platforms.
6+
7+
Toolchain is automatically installed when the STM32 core is installed thanks the [Arduino Boards Manager](https://www.arduino.cc/en/guide/cores) --> See [stm32 core installation](https://github.com/stm32duino/wiki/wiki/Getting-Started#installing-stm32-cores) wiki page.
8+
9+
This is **not** a new GCC toolchain distribution for ARM devices.
10+
Official [GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain](https://developer.arm.com/open-source/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm) distribution, by ARM.
11+
12+
## Changes
13+
14+
Compared to the original ARM release, there are no changes. The **same architecture options** are supported and **the same
15+
combinations of libraries** (derived from newlib) are provided.
16+
17+
18+
## Releases
19+
20+
A release is done when an update of the **GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain** is required for the [STM32 core](https://github.com/stm32duino/Arduino_Core_STM32) support for Arduino.
21+
It generally use the latest official [GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain](https://developer.arm.com/open-source/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm)
22+
releases, maintained by ARM.
23+
24+
### 6-2017-q1-update
25+
26+
This release is equivalent to **6-2017-q1-update** from February 23, 2017,
27+
and is based on `gcc-arm-none-eabi-6-2017-q2-update-src.tar.bz2`.
