This PPA is an alternative to toolchain released at https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded. The source codes for both are same. Currently supports Ubuntu 10.04/12.04/14.04/14.10 32 and 64 bit.

Detailed explanations to Launchpad PPA can be found at https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/. That website explains how a PPA is set up and how to add existing PPA and install software from it.
