-Compiling for the ARM platform requires a special toolchain. The GNU ARM toolchain has all the basic tools needed to build and examine software on the iPod.

+Use gcc-arm-embedded from your Linux distribution package manager.
-The GNU ARM toolchain can be downloaded from http://www.gnuarm.com/. You can either download source or binaries. Put the binaries in your system path.

-==Preparing for IDA Pro demo==
-The IDA Pro demo can't open raw ARM files but it can open ELF files. We need to convert the raw binaries to ELF binaries as a workaround. Assuming the input file is called "dump.bin" and the output will be called "dump.elf", run these commands:
-<pre>
-arm-elf-objcopy --change-addresses=0xff810000 -I binary -O elf32-littlearm -B arm dump.bin dump.elf
-arm-elf-objcopy --set-section-flags .data=code dump.elf
-</pre>
