16.04 instructions did not work for me and some search results suggested this has changed for 18.04.
Not sure if this is the best way now, but these instructions worked: #38

Thanks for the report.

Where did you find the gcc install instructions? gcc is not really required anymore so if there're some leftovers we should clean them up.

Anyway, 18.04 should has the usual suspects available: https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/gcc-arm-none-eabi

I just tried to follow the 16.04 instructions here.

But it doesn't say to install gcc on Ubuntu.

True--I used it to get gdb, but as you pointed out in the code review comment gdb-multiarch makes a lot more sense, I agree.

As mentioned in #38 there might be still some usefulness to having a section explaining how to install a generic toolchain bundle from ARM. If you would be so kind to move the instructions to a new section and update the Ubuntu 18.04 for gdb-multiarch (probably after verifying that it actually works ;) ), that'd be really awesome.
