Hi,

   

Just wondering, has anybody tried to use PSoC Creator with a newer arm-none-eabi-gcc version? I think the actual Creator (3.3) use version 4.9 while the "stable" version is 5.4 [1].

   

So, what advantages can i get if i get a newer version of arm-none-eabi-gcc? My projects are not big or complex enough to see a significant difference (i think).

   

Also i saw the PSoC roadmap and there's a PSoC 6 (ARM Cortex M4 + ARM Cortex M0 dual core) in development, and a PSoC 7 (ARM Cortex M7 core) in concept phase, i think those will get bigger advantage of the newer versions of arm-none-eabi-gcc.

   

Thanks in advance 🙂

   

Carlos

You can look into this link for the list of problem reports (PRs) from GCC's bug tracking system that are known to be fixed in the 5.4 release-
