Linux/AM5708: Linaro toolchain questions

Part Number: AM5708

Tool/software: Linux

My customer is porting their software from the DM814x and/or the AM335x to the AM57xx demo board and asks:

We have several apps written with a slightly older version of GCC (version 4.x).

The latest TI SDK for am571x-evm uses Linaro GCC 6.2 by default.

However it has Linaro GCC 4.9 (among others) as well:

 

build@6e35408e8fa5:~/tisdk/build$ bitbake-layers show-recipes gcc

WARNING: No recipes available for:

  /home/build/tisdk/sources/meta-openamp/recipes-bsp/device-tree/device-tree-generation_%.bbappend

Parsing recipes..done.

=== Matching recipes: ===

gcc:

  meta-linaro-toolchain linaro-4.9

  meta-linaro-toolchain linaro-6.2

  meta                 6.2.0

  meta                 5.4.0

  meta-linaro-toolchain linaro-5.3

  meta-linaro-toolchain linaro-5.2

 Unfortunately switching GCC to 4.9 fails to produce in image (please see bitbake_gcc.error file).

 Has this combination tested by TI (namely, Linaro GCC 4.9 + TI SDK 4.01 (Yocto Morty)?

Hopefully someone can suggest some toolchain ideas.

Thanks!
