Hi Andreas,

It seems you already have the distribution cross-toolchain installed (or at least partially installed). This is the binutils-arm-none-eabi package the error message mentions. You should first uninstall that package and then try to install our toolchain again.

Best regards.

Hello Thomas,

It worked!

looks like to properly uninstall the distribution cross-toolchain :

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

Kind regards
Andreas
