-For several years Codesourcery (now Mentor Graphics) maintained and released the GCC for ARM compiler binaries, bundled with an easy to use installer, under the name //Codesourcery G++ Lite//. Unfortunately,​ their website now states that "​Sourcery CodeBench Lite releases for ARM EABI, ARM GNU/Linux, ARM AARCH64-Linux,​ IA32/IA64 GNU/Linux and ELF are no longer available"​.+For several years Codesourcery (now Mentor Graphics) maintained and released the GCC for ARM compiler binaries, bundled with an easy to use installer, under the name Codesourcery G++ Lite.

 Fortunately,​ the ARM organization itself is actively maintaining and enhancing the GCC compiler for the ARM architecture. At regular intervals they release pre-built binaries of the toolchain under the name [[https://​launchpad.net/​gcc-arm-embedded|GCC ARM Embedded]]. ​ Fortunately,​ the ARM organization itself is actively maintaining and enhancing the GCC compiler for the ARM architecture.

-Several OpenBLT demo programs that target microcontrollers with an ARM core, make use of the //Codesourcery G++ Lite// toolchain. You can still find a download link to a working version of the toolchain on the page that describes the demo specifics. However, is it recommended to switch to the //GCC ARM Embedded// toolchain. ​+Several OpenBLT demo programs that target microcontrollers with an ARM core, make use of the Codesourcery G++ Lite toolchain.

 Download the utilities by following thes link {{:​manual:​demos:​gnu_build_tools_win32.zip|}}. Once download, unpack the zip-archive and copy all unpacked files to the //.\bin// directory of where GCC ARM Embedded was installed. It will be a directory similar to //​C:​\Program Files\GNU Tools ARM Embedded\5.3 2016q1\bin//​. Download the utilities by following thes link {{:​manual:​demos:​gnu_build_tools_win32.zip|}}.
