Auto Detect Arm Tool Chain?

[Gibbon1]

Any thoughts on trying to auto-detect an arm tool chain?

Someone else asked about auto-detecting AVR tool chains

[eranif]

I think there was a pull request that I have applied that does that. Any quick link for the avr toolchain so I could test that?

With the AVR stuff it seems like the answer is 'it's complicated'

It used to be simple, there was the WinAVR project. You just downloaded the tools and away you go. Still works I'm using it. But doesn't support the latest uP

A bunch of people are using Arduino + AVR which I think is an Eclipse based IDE+ AVR and ARM tool chains. I know not so much.

ATMEL has a tool chain that they include with AVRStudio 6.0 or some such and you can get the tool chain separately from them

I'm using the ARM gcc compiler from ARM LTD (but my version is about a year old 4.7 vs 4.8)

I just tested this, (using the SF installer 'WinAVR') with latest git master:

Settings->Build Settings->Compilers->Add an existing compiler, select the WinAVR folder and voila!
