+Resources on setting up a Linux guest using VirtualBox on a Windows host:
+
+- A very clearly written tutorial entitled [Install Linux Inside Windows
+Using VirtualBox, Abhishek Prakash (It's FOSS!, August 2019)](https://
+itsfoss.com/install-linux-in-virtualbox/)
+
+- An alternate, similarly excellent resource: [Install Ubuntu on Oracle
+VirtualBox](https://brb.nci.nih.gov/seqtools/installUbuntu.html)
+
+- [How to Install VirtualBox Guest Additions in Ubuntu](https://www.tecmint.com/install-virtualbox-guest-additions-in-ubuntu/)

+Good resources on toolchains:
+
+- [Cross-compilation toolchains for Linux, Bootlin](https://toolchains.bootlin.com/)
+Very user-friendly – simply select and download the toolchain of choice.
+
+- [Toolchains on eLinux](https://elinux.org/Toolchains)
+
+- A wiki page (from the SEALS project I maintain, see the following) with instructions on downloading and installing the latest ARM Linaro toolchain (a popular one) is available [here](https://github.com/kaiwan/seals/wiki/HOWTO-Install-required-packages-on-the-Host-for-SEALS)
+
+
+Some useful tooling, drivers, and so on, created exclusively by me:
+
+- Scripts, tools, utils, code : [usefulsnips](https://github.com/kaiwan/usefulsnips)
+- [SEALS](https://github.com/kaiwan/seals) : Simple Embedded Arm Linux System
+- [device-memory-readwrite](https://github.com/kaiwan/device-memory-readwrite) : Read/write pretty much any memory location (RAM or hardware IO memory) on a device or PC
