Toolchain with GCC 5.x series for LS1046ARDB

[apsihvonen]

I edited fsl-goriq.conf to 

GCCVERSION_qoriq-arm64 = "linaro-4.9"

to 

GCCVERSION_qoriq-arm64 = "linaro-5.2.0"

did the 

bitbake fsl-toolchain

....

NOTE: preferred version linaro-5.2.0 of gcc-cross-aarch64 not available (for item virtual/aarch64-fsl-linux-gcc)
NOTE: versions of gcc-cross-aarch64 available: 4.8.4 4.9.2 5.2.0 linaro-4.8 linaro-4.9
... 

Is it possible to have up to date gcc for my system?

Hello AP Sihvonen,

You could download GCC 5.2 recipes from http://git.linaro.org/openembedded/meta-linaro.git/tree/meta-linaro-toolchain/recipes-devtools/gcc, and copy them in the folder sources/meta-linaro/meta-linaro-toolchain/recipes-devtools/gcc/.

please modify the file meta-freescale/conf/distro/fsl-qoriq.conf as the following.
GCCVERSION_qoriq-arm64 = "linaro-5.2"
BINUVERSION_qoriq-arm64 = "linaro-2.25"
GLIBCVERSION_qoriq-arm64 = "linaro-2.20"
GDBVERSION_qoriq-arm64 = "7.10.1+fsl"

Then build the binary Toolchain with the command "bitbake fsl-toolchain", the Toolchain is deployed in build_<board>/tmp/sysroots/sysroots/x86_64-fslsdk-linux/usr/bin/aarch64-fsl-linux.

In addition, in the latest LSDK release, we will stop using Yocto and release SDK based on Ubuntu Linux system, which integrates Toolchain GCC 5.4, probably you could consider to use it.

Have a great day,
TIC

Hello Yiping Wang,

I realised that I need still newer than 5.2. So I tried 5.3 and 6.3, 5.4 was not available :(. All goes fine until I bitbake. It hangs on fetching for hours both 5.3 and 6.3.

Hello AP Sihvonen,

I checked gcc 5.3 source code git tree from gcc-linaro-5.3.inc\gcc\recipes-devtools\meta-linaro-toolchain - meta-linaro.git - Linaro layer for O...  There is no problem.

Please check whether there is networking connection problem with your PC, please check whether you can clone the git tree.

$ git clone git://git.linaro.org/toolchain/gcc.git

$ git branch -r origin/linaro-local/releases/linaro-5.3-2016.05

Have a great day,
TIC

Cannot clone for some reason. I tried several mirrors that are listed in the .inc file nothing. Everything else downloads nicely except linaro.x-x

does 5.3 provide libstdc++.so.6.0.22 ?

[yipingwang]

Hello AP Sihvonen,

Please download this package from gcc-linaro-5.3-2016.05.tar.gz - Google Drive.

It seems that libstdc++.so.6.0.22 is provided in GCC 6.x, you could download GCC 6.x recipes from gcc\recipes-devtools\meta-linaro-toolchain - meta-linaro.git - Linaro layer for OpenEmbedded. 

Have a great day,
