Hi Hampl/Team,

Due to unforeseen circumstances, I reinstalled the ubuntu in VMware. But
again I am stuck to follow their instructions at step 6.

Please explain to me how to proceed with the second section of step 6 (
https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT/wiki/Howto:-Create-a-VirtualBox-Image-for-RIOT-development
).
Your Prompt reply will be highly appreciated.

CodeSourcery 2013.11 toolchain for ARM7:

   - goto sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-gcc-arm-embedded/ppa and
   download the Linux installer for the codesourcery 2013.11
arm-none-eabi-gcc [How
   can I go to PPA directory? How this step will be accomplished ]
   - execute binary and follow instructions of the graphical installer

MSP430 toolchain, install the following packages:

   - gcc-msp430
   - gdb-msp430
   - msp430-libc
   - mspdebug

This is not a problem with Ubuntu-provided packages, but with foreign software.

You probably better ask the providers of RIOT.

In my opinion the given instructions are not correct any more. Currently the ppa:team-gcc-arm-embedded/ppa repository does not contain any software. This makes step 6 partly obsolete. I assume that the only part that is still valid is "sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-none-eabi"

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask Adnan Rashid for more information if necessary.
