Hello,

I don’t really answer your questions but there is a new version available.
You can update the plugins, menu Help => Check for Updates, to version 1.11.0.

The gcc arm tools have been updated to the release 5.4 of 2016q2. (gcc exe at 5.4.1 version)

Also, you can choose the eclipse option to directly show new version available :
In menu Window => Preferences => Install/Update => Automatic Updates => Tick “Direcly show update wizard” option (the last one).
This option is not available before eclipse Luna version.

Rgds,
Laurent

Eclipse variables such as openstm32_compiler_path can be changed by opening the property dialog (Project -> Properties) then selecting C/C++ Build -> Build Variables

Make sure to check the “Show System Variables” option on the bottom of the dialog.

I tried editing the variable mentioned above (which was marked as a “ECLIPSE DYNAMIC VARIABLE”) to point to a different location for the ARM GCC tools, the override was accepted, and shows in the Build Variables dialog with the changed value, but it did not appear to “take”; the AC6-bundled tools were still used.

It is possible that you might have to edit the PATH (same dialog) since the path to the AC6-provided toolchain appears here as well. I did not take my own experimentation that far.
