Local Alternative to mbed?

Hi,

I've been working for a while with a FRDM-KL25Z board, and am very pleased with the flexibility of the mbed platform. My work system is Fedora 25 which I am also satisfied with. Unfortunately, to employ the mbed compiler one needs an internet connection so off-line development isn't possible.

As a result I have been searching for a way to get some sort of gcc toolchain established on my Linux system that will support the KL25z. I've found that in the time period 2012-2014 a number of people had successfully done that. Also, I've also found a couple descriptive articles that would help me to accomplish that, however they are from that same time period. Nevertheless, I've tried to go ahead and establish a toolchain using their directions but found it wasn't possible (or difficult without specific knowledge). For the most part I believe it is because of the differences in the Fedora linux environment from then (FC-22 -> FC-25).

I know this is just peripherally focused on mbed - however I wonder if anyone has been successful getting a gcc ARM toolchain running under Fedora 25, and if so could they point me in the right direction to accomplish this for myself.

Thanks in advance

Ott
