Ubuntu 14.04 comes out of the box, or rather has APT packages for cross toolchains that "just work". If you need an example of what I'm talking about, check out Professor Molloy's youtube videos on the subject. Anyway, this is a method for "no fuss" setup. You simply apt-get install <x.y.z> Granted, I've never used these toolchains to build uboot, or the kernel. There is also *gasp* crosstool-ng, which may be worth mentioning, in passing. e.g. the option to build ones own toolchain. On Mon, Nov 2, 2015 at 1:22 PM, Robert P. J.
