From mentor.com (http://www.mentor.com/company/news/mentor-integrated-development-environment-gnu-toolchain):


Mentor acquired from Code Sourcery in November 2010.

Downloading toolchain
The following binary installer is recommended for adding the toolchain to your host computer.

https://sourcery.mentor.com/public/gnu_toolchain/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/arm-2011.09-70-arm-none-linux-gnueabi.bin

Creating directory to hold toolchain


Run the following commands to create the directory to hold the toolchain and allow anyone to write to that directory.

sudo mkdir -p /opt/codesourcery


sudo chmod ugo+wrx /opt/codesourcery

After you install the toolchain, you can make the directory non-writable if you so desire.

Using bash instead of dash


By default on Ubuntu systems, /bin/sh is linked to /bin/dash and that causes problems with certain versions of the toolchain and
some SDK build scripts. Run the following commands to switch to using bash:

sudo rm /bin/sh
sudo ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh

Installing toolchain
After downloading the toolchain, set the execution permission and run the installer
