I often feel as though the actual time taken to setup a toolchain is overlooked, and can lead to frustrating conversations, particularly when there are delays even after setup caused by toolchain-related issues.

I put together a 10-15 min read, breaking down hardware toolchains with some advice on decision-making that business/commercial managers can use to hopefully make everyone's lives easier regardless of technical background.

Any feedback on here is welcome, I'm currently writing posts like this on a regular basis and thought this one could be useful to share.
