If the toolchain is not installed, download and install one of the following versions:
* Sourcery Codebench Lite for ARM processors from the URL below. Make sure to select the EABI Release. <http://www.mentor.com/embedded-software/sourcery-tools/sourcery-codebench/editions/lite-edition/>
* GNU Tools for ARM Embedded Processors. Works nicely on OS X. <https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded>
* Alternatively, you can use this older version for Linux. At the time of writing, this is the version used by Contiki's regression tests. <https://sourcery.mentor.com/public/gnu_toolchain/arm-none-eabi/arm-2008q3-66-arm-none-eabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2>
