+The CodeSourcery G++ package provides a GNU cross-compiler toolchain for ARM. The Mac OS X version is not distributed by CodeSourcery in binary form, but can be built from source code, or mainline gcc for arm-none-eabi can be installed via MacPorts.

+=== Solution 1 ===
   * This explains how to build the tool chain on a Mac: [[https://github.com/jsnyder/arm-eabi-toolchain|Git project: jsnyder / arm-eabi-toolchain]]
-  * You will probably want to add this line to /etc/bashrc, so that the tools are always accesible when you open a new Terminal: <code>export PATH=$HOME/arm-cs-tools/bin:$PATH</code>

+=== Solution 2 ===
+<note tip>
+This "Solution" produces slightly bigger code (with gcc 4.6.2) compared to older gcc versions. Therefore you can not compile some l0dables. This results in errors like:
+<code>arm-none-eabi-ld -nostartfiles -T loadable.ld -o mp0ng.elf mp0ng.o  -lc -L/opt/local/arm-none-eabi/lib/
+arm-none-eabi-ld: mp0ng.elf section `.text' will not fit in region `sram'
+arm-none-eabi-ld: region `sram' overflowed by 148 bytes</code>
+</note>
+  * Install [[http://macports.org|MacPorts]]
+  * Don't forget <code>sudo port sync</code>
+  * Install the port ''arm-none-eabi-gcc'': <code>sudo port install arm-none-eabi-gcc</code>
+=== Solution 3 ===
+  * Currently not working (at least on Lion). Less pain: MacPorts
+  * Install [[http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew|Homebrew]]
+  * Import (as in copy to /usr/local/Library/Formula) the formulae for cloog-ppl and arm-none-eabi-gcc from [[https://github.com/jpc/homebrew/tree/master/Library/Formula|here]]
+  * Install the formula ''arm-none-eabi-gcc'': <code>brew install arm-none-eabi-gcc</code>

 Copy the file firmware.bin to that directory:
 <code>cp firmware.bin /media/sf_r0flash/</code>
+===== 9. Prepare a brand new r0ket =====
+See [[build|main Build article (scoll to the bottom)]],
+or:
+Bring the r0ket into ISP-Mode:
+e.g. by using Method 1 (up to 30 seconds, but works always)
+  * Power off r0ket
+  * Press and hold button “Left”, power r0ket on
+  * Connect r0ket via USB
+If you want to start from scratch:
+<code>
+rm /Volumes/CRP2\ ENABLD/*
+</code>
+Install the "initial" formatting firmware:
+<code>
+cd firmware
+make APP=initial
+cp firmware.bin /Volumes/CRP\ DISABLD/firmware.bin
+</code>
+The Data Flash will be formatted.
+Now the r0ket will present a flash file system called "NO NAME" over USB.
+Install the l0dables:
+<code>
+cd l0dable
+make
+cp *.c0d /Volumes/NO\ NAME/
+cp *.int /Volumes/NO\ NAME/
+cp *.nik /Volumes/NO\ NAME/
+cd ..
+</code>
+Now install the Camp firmware ("final"):
+<code>
+make APP=final
+cp firmware.bin /Volumes/CRP2\ ENABLD/firmware.bin
+</code>
+=== Example commands that worked for me ===
+MacOSX, Lion, Up-to-date MacPorts - DanBUK
+<code>
+sudo port sync
+sudo port install arm-none-eabi-gcc
+git clone git://github.com/r0ket/r0ket.git
+cd r0ket
+git checkout c583ddc7e3b6ecc2cdb94fe0a0474d52bcbb220b
+cd firmware
+cp SECRETS SECRETS.release
+# Edit SECRETS.release
+./release-all
+make APP=initial
+cp firmware.bin ../release/initial.bin
+cd ../release/
+# ISP Mode - Power on whilst holding left on Joypad
+# NB. This isn't always CRP DISABLED, could be CRP2 ENABLED
+mount | grep "CRP DISABLD"
+# /dev/disk3      32Ki   32Ki    0Bi   100%    /Volumes/CRP DISABLD
+cp initial.bin /Volumes/CRP\ DISABLD/firmware.bin
+diskutil unmount "CRP DISABLD"
+# power off
+# power on
+mount | grep "NO NAME"
+# /dev/disk3 on /Volumes/NO NAME (msdos, local, nodev, nosuid, noowners)
+# If you want to start completely empty:
+# rm -Rf /Volumes/NO\ NAME/*
+cp files/* /Volumes/NO\ NAME/
+diskutil unmount "NO NAME"
+# press button (joypad middle)
+mount | grep "CRP2 ENABLD"
+# /dev/disk3 on /Volumes/CRP2 ENABLD (msdos, local, nodev, nosuid, noowners)
+cp final.bin /Volumes/CRP2\ ENABLD/firmware.bin
+diskutil eject "CRP2 ENABLD"
+# power off
+# power on
+# Enjoy!
