Better documentation on toolchain requested

[directgumby]

Hi,

I am loking at your toolchain install instructions and there are two areas that could use a little more info:

1. Where you ask people to setup the environment variables:
   a) CYWGIN - what should the env variable be? (I assume cywgin but it is not clear from the docs)
   b) GNU tools - if I missed checking the box, what should the evn variable be?
   c) dfu-util - what should the env variable be? (I assume dfu-util, but it is not clear from the docs)

2. How do I unpact the dfu-util
   When I go to the link it shows a .tar.xz?
   I have not been on a Linux system for some time, I've been coding Windows for a while, how do I unpack a tar.xz file?

Hi, sorry for any confusion.

Re. 1: All three of the paths to the bin/ files should be added to the PATH variable in windows. That variable is filled with a list of directories. For example, the entries for my dfu-util and ARM Toolchain are:

2. To unpack the dfu-util archive you can use an archive utility program like Win-Rar or 7-Zip

I'll leave this issue open until we add these details to the appropriate locations within the wiki.

Hi, My Daisy Filed arrived, and DFU still isn't working for me.
I am wondering, what should the DFU path name be? DFU or DFU-UTIL?

We rewrote our getting started guide.

This should help clear up any confusion on installing the toolchain.

If you're still having trouble, please reach out via the slack or daisy forum.
