Thanks a lot for the comments.
Is it possible that gcc-5.x recipes go into jethro branch of meta-linaro-toolchain, or it will be integrated into master branch of meta-linaro-toolchain to support Yocto 2.1 release?

Post by Jim WilsonPost by Luo ZhenhuaThe default gcc version of Yocto 2.0(Jethro) is 5.2.0, the gcc
version in meta-linaro is gcc-4.9.4, may I know if gcc-linaro-4.9.4
will be used for Yocto 2.0 release? when will the linaro gcc be upgraded to
gcc-5.x?
We don't have ETA as TCWG hasn't released GCC 5.x based Linaro toolchain.
Once the source release will be done, it will be integrated into meta-linaro-
toolchain.
Post by Jim WilsonI don't think that we have any say over Yocto. We just make releases,
and they decide which ones to use.
FYI, we (Linaro) provide and maintain meta-linaro-toolchain.
It features Linaro toolchain to OpenEmbedded users.
Post by Jim WilsonThe previous binary release 15.06 was the last one to include
gcc-4.8.x support. The next binary release will be the first one to
include gcc-5.x support, though I haven't seen it come out yet, I
think it is expected soon. We have already made source snapshots of
gcc-5.x available. There were some delays with the binary releases
because of instabilities with our build farm. Those problems have
been fixed, though we might end up shifting the schedule a bit because
of the delays.
Post by Luo ZhenhuaBTW, can someone please help point out where the Linaro toolchain roadmap can be got?
There was a roadmap talk at the HKG15 Connect
http://connect.linaro.org/resource/hkg15/hkg15-203-tcwg-2015-roadmap-r
eview/
I don't know if there is a more recent one.
