I've raised #15007 to move our GitHub actions CI to the new version of GCC.

@saheerb has been working on updating the Jenkins CI.

It's slightly annoying that Mbed CLI 1 prints

[Warning] @,: Compiler version mismatch: Have 10.3.1; expected version >= 9.0.0 and < 10.0.0

The version range is hardcoded in tools/toolchains/gcc.py which is frozen. As it's just a warning, leaving it as it is probably fine...

I would prefer to remove warnings
Thx

I don't think fixing that warning would affect the behaviour of the online build system. We should be OK to fix it without creating a new "tools release" for the online compiler. We could probably ignore the frozen tools check in this instance? @Patater

Ultimately we encourage users to move away from Mbed CLI 1. But if someone disregards the deprecation and does what the warning says (i.e. downgrades GCC to 9.x), they may encounter issues such as NU_M2354 unable to run due to known issues of the old GCC with Armv8-m.

Agreed. The warning is annoying and not helpful for users, and ignored by the online compiler which doesn't use gcc anyway.

I'll send the PR now to remove the warning for ver 10 as only two PRs left to be merged (docs and docker image update).

Already removed in the docker image update 44e5795

[Patater]

Saheer has updated Jenkins CI.

We've also merged #15007 which adds support in GitHub actions via our Docker images.

Patch is strange... only GCC_RANGE has to be updated ?

ARMCC_RANGE is 6.10 to 7.0 so we won't need to worry about it in a long while.
