Ok Let me know Biser. I am also building the TI SDK AM571x EVM image with the internal tool chain. Will update here once I give it a shot.

Hi Adam,

AM57x TI PSDK comes with external linaro toolchain (Standalone Linaro Toolchain - Linaro GCC 6.2.1 2016.11 hard-float toolchain), refer to the below links for more info:
