System Controller Firmware - Build Environment

Danilo3 — Fri, 16 Jun 2023 10:51:14 GMT

Hello everybody,

I need to customize the SCFW on i.MX8 QuadMax MEK for AAOS 13.0.0_1.1.0, so I downloaded the SCFW porting kit, release Linux LF5.15.71_2.2.0 (as indicated in the "Android Auto User's Guide 13-0-0").

Such porting kit comes with a sc_fw_port.pdf file which claims that the toolchain for compiling the SCFW is the GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain: 8-2018-q4-major December 20, 2018.

On the other hand, I see from the above-mentioned User's Guide that the version of "6-2017-q2-update June 28, 2017" is recommended, as it is verified.

Which one should I choose to avoid any issue?

Thank you
