 ===== MSYS =====
 MSYS provides us with a POSIX (UNIX style) environment for our Windows PC. This packages includes tools such as make and sed and sh, which are required to correctly run gputils later on. I recommend the latest version, but v1.0.11 has tested OK.

-===== CodeSourcery G++ Lite =====
+===== GCC Toolchain =====
-This is the modified GNU Compiler Collection, ready for use with the ARM Cortex M3 platform.
+The MIDIbox community have created a modified GNU Compiler Collection, ready for use with the ARM Cortex M3 platform. The toolchain contains all of the tools required to build MIOS32 applications including GCC and NEWLIB. MSYS is still currently required although may be added to a later version of the toolchain.
-Since the STM32 is a flavour of Cortex M3, this is what we want to have.
-Later, once Cortex support makes it into the regular gcc distribution, we can use that instead,
+The Toolchain has currently been compiled for Windows (2000+), Mac OS X (Leopard or newer) and Linux x86 (built on Ubuntu).
-but for now, we need the CodeSourcery distribution.
+The download directory for the toolchain is http://www.midibox.org/mios32_toolchain
+Download the latest "windows" file and unzip into your favorite directory, If you unzip into c:\ the toolchain will create c:\gcc-arm-none-eabi-4_7-2013q3-20130916-win32 and various sub-directories containing the toolchain files. Rename the directory gcc-arm-none-eabi-4_7-2013q3-20130916-win32 to mios32_toolchain.
+You must add the "bin" directory to your windows path, a temporary way is to type the following in a Windows Command Prompt window: (change c:\mios32_toolchain to wherever you extracted your toolchain)
+SET PATH= %PATH%;c:\mios32_toolchain\bin
+If you want to make this change permanent (you probably will) follow this Microsoft KB article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310519 This article will also help you when adding the MIOS32 specific variables later on.
