Compiling nrf projects on android host

[mukesh]

Is it possible to use android devices gcc tool chain to compile the nrf51822 projects. Does it support nrf51822 bare metal platform?

Probably not: Android will not run on Cortex-M devices - so the Android GCC is unlikely to support Cortex-M code generation.

But why would you want to do this? Just install the proper Cortex-M toolchain!

Why would you want to do that??

The GNU ARM Embedded Toolchain page is here: launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded - that would be the place to ask about what platforms it runs on...
