Ultibo core: what changed

Revision 1 to 2. Removed lines have a minus sign; added lines have a plus sign.

Old	New		Line
1	1		Ultibo core is an [[Embedded\|embedded]] run-time platform and development environment written specifically for creating applications with small single board computers. It is built around the [[FPC\|Free Pascal compiler]] and the [[Lazarus]] [[IDE\|integrated development environment]]. Ultibo core is an RTL written entirely in Free Pascal and designed to make embedded or bare metal development accessible to all.

10	10
11	11		- Use FPC 3.1.1 the trunk version (so you have the source)
12	12		- Download arm-none-eabi toolchain from <https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded/5.0/5-2015-q4-major/+download/gcc-arm-none-eabi-5_2-2015q4-20151219-mac.tar.bz2>
13	13		- Extract the files in ~/Documents/gcc-arm-none-eabi
14	14		- git clone from <https://github.com/ultibohub> at least Core, FPC, and Lazarus
15	15		- You have 3 folders now, Core, FPC and Lazarus. Copy ultibo folder from Core/source/rtl/ultibo/ to FPC/source/rtl/
16	16		- type cd FPC/source
17	17		- type and wait until it finishes without errors:

	28	+	```
25	29
26	30		- type and wait, assuming your FPC 3.1.1 is in the folder /usr/local/lib/fpc/3.1.1/ so option INSTALL_BASEDIR becomes INSTALL_BASEDIR=/usr/local/lib/fpc/3.1.1/
27	31
