I can't install gcc-arm-embedded with Ubuntu 20.04

Hello, when i write sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-gcc-arm-embedded/ppa in the terminal it says that there is not a version for Ubuntu 20.04. I read that the launchpad repository is deprecated and that the latest version can be installed manually. Do you know how to install it manually?

Not exactly an answer but you could try simply downloading/using chibi studio if you just want to get building/testing.

You can download it from here https://developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/open-source-software/developer-tools/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm/downloads and unpack it in /usr/local. Make sure to use the gcc-arm-none-eabi-7-2018-q2 as there seems to be a problem with gcc-versions later than 7 (I'm looking into that soon).

Quick (untested) copy-paste instructions:

Unpack the archive in the file manager by right-clicking on it and extract here
From a terminal, run

cp -RT gcc-arm-none-eabi-7-2018-q2 /usr/local
