Ubuntu and the latest Arm Cross Compiler

[bcdebusk]

Is there any harm with using the latest Arm Cross Compiler (I beileve it's dated around January 2014) with the Crazieflie code? It appears to be compiling, but I didn't know if there was a specific reason that the Bitcraze directions specified an older one.

Hi,

The instruction specifies an older one because it has not been updated :-s. I am using GCC ARM Embedded 4.8-2014-q2-update without problem.

The only difference I have seen between the ubuntu arm-none-eabi-gcc and the version you can donwnload from "gcc arm embedded" is that the ubuntu version lacks some of the libs (ie. nano libc). However if it compiles then it is allright.

Regards,
Arnaud
