Toolchain with GCC 5.x series for QorIQ powerpc 32bit arch.

[surendradhobale]

Hello,

   We are using T1042 QorIq PPC arch processors. Currently we are using GCC4.9.3 compiler toolchain.

We are looking to upgrade the compiler for 5.x series. Is this available in any SDK?

Or How we can get that ?

Thanks,

Surendra

Hello Surendra,

In the latest released QorIQ SDK, GCC4.9.x is still used as the default for PowerPC Architecture.

However in Linux SDK 2.0, GCC 5.2 recipes are provided, you could install SDK 2.0 and use yocto to build the binary Toolchain if necessary.

Please modify the variable GCCVERSION_qoriq-ppc as "5.2" in meta-freescale/conf/distro/fsl-qoriq.conf.

Then create a build project for T1042, and use the command "bitbake fsl-toolchain" to build the binary Toolchain.

The Toolchain is deployed in build_<board>/tmp/sysroots/sysroots/x86_64-fslsdk-linux/usr/bin/powerpc-fsl-linux/powerpc-fsl-linux-gcc, if the building is performed successfully.

Have a great day,
Yiping
