Hi,
I am using Altera Cyclone V SoC development board with SoC EDS V18.0, which has Linaro Toolchain version 4.8.3. I want to build the Linux kernel with Linaro Toolchain 6.3.1.
I am having following doubts before going ahead with this process.
Thanks & Regards

Hello sir,
The 4.8.3 refers to the GCC compiler, and 7.2 is the Linaro version.
For linux kernel, you can select any Linaro version and compile it. its not requiring SoC EDS environment.
You can refer to this link:
https://rocketboards.org/foswiki/Documentation/GSRDCompilingLinux
It shows you the two methods of creating Linux kernel:
1- Build kernel and Rootfs using Angstrom (bitbake approach).
2- Building kernel and U-boot Separately. (which will build only the zImage).
Hope that can help.
Thanks
I'm afraid that the linaro gcc version in EDS release note is not correct.
I've just execute "arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc --version" under EDS 19.3PRO, and gotten below information:
arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc (crosstool-NG linaro-1.13.1-4.8-2014.04 - Linaro GCC 4.8-2014.04) 4.8.3 20140401 (prerelease)

I guess it's "linaro gcc 4.8-2014.04" inside EDS 19.3PRO, not the same as EDS user guide described 4.8.3 (Linaro* GCC 7.2-2017.11).
I've sent IPS request for this question.
Best regards,
Glen
