Even the latest 2.13.1 release of mcux-sdk refers to an old GCC toolchain immagine

10.3-2021.10 is the latest one listed on the old (deprecated) pages:

The latest up-to-date toolchains are available on https://developer.arm.com/downloads/-/arm-gnu-toolchain-downloads

I ask NXP to update the GCC ARM toolchain to an up-to-date one. Thanks

Hi @escherstair, thanks for raising this topic. However, we are not able to always use the up-to-date version of toolchain, it depends. If the toolchain latest release matches our software release schedule, then our software release uses the latest version of toolchain, else not.

For your information, for the coming 2.14.0 release(planned in early August) we will use the GCC 12.2.1 which is the latest version.
