What exactly is so "custom" about the arm-elf toolchain? Clearly, it might require cross compilation, but maybe Emdebian people can help out here. Properly building firmware instead of shipping it pre-built also means proper documentation of that custom build process, which sounds worthwhile anyway. What exactly do you mean by "patch up the release"? Release of what? Best, Michael
