Add the ppa: https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded The source codes for both are same. Currently supports Ubuntu 10.04/12.04/13.04/13.10/14.04 32 and 64 bit.

Detailed explanations to Launchpad PPA can be found at https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/. That website explains how a PPA is set up and how to add existing PPA and install software from it.

Here are quick steps to install toolchain from this PPA on Ubuntu before 14.04. Open a terminal and type :

1. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:terry.guo/gcc-arm-embedded
2. sudo apt-get update
3. sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-none-eabi

To remove installed toolchain, just do :

sudo apt-get remove gcc-arm-none-eabi

To update the toolchain, just repeat step 2 and 3.
