Sorry, I keep of thinking more to add, after I've already posted . . . I've got code on the brain, and sometimes to think outside of my own little world . . .
For the Linux side of things. The easiest, and possibly best route would be to use a flavor of Ubuntu 14.x. The reasoning is simple. Ubuntu has precompiled toolchains for just about many ARM envoirnment - That "just work" Derrek Molloy even has a few videos of setting up cross toolchains, using eclipse on Debian, and Ubuntu. Using armhf, and armel ABI's. armhf by the way is the ABI you're going to want.
