Hi,
On my build platform, I have got two compilers available to build for IMX6.
1. Linaro toolchain
VirtualBox:~/COMPILER/gcc-linaro-5.3-2016.02-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin$ ./arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ --version
arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ (Linaro GCC 5.3-2016.02) 5.3.1 20160113

2. The ‘poky’ compiler that was built as part of SDK build when we triggered bitbake of meta-toolchain-qt
VirtualBox:/opt/fsl-imx-wayland/4.1.15-1.2.0/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/bin/arm-poky-linux-gn... ./arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-g++ --version
arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-g++ (GCC) 5.2.0

So far for all low level drivers we have been using the linaro toolchain. However, when configuring for Qt the instructions seem to suggest that we create and install the SDK and use the compiler that comes in the SDK.
What is the preferred compiler to use, especially for building Qt applications for IMX6? Are both equivalent?
We would appreciate if you anyone could please clarify this.
Thanks
