…builds Replace the ardupilot-hosted gcc 10.3 tools tarball with a version-pinned xPack download from GitHub Releases so arm_sdk_install always matches ARM_SDK_PREFIX. Fix checkDeviceInfo for GCC 12+ -Warray-bounds so the firmware builds cleanly under 15.2. Bench (ark-release, noprop 95% / 3 A): hold95 stable; ~0.5 KB less flash than gcc 10.3; free-run CPU essentially unchanged.

Yeah makes sense. We really need to be pinning the toolchains for all projects. I opened PX4 and Ardu PRs to do that... they didn't get merged

Windows still pullswindows-tools.ziponly formakeutilities.CICD_build.yml,hwci.yml) installs/uses the same pin; hardware-CI requires the exact 15.2.1 path.checkDeviceInfo()for GCC 12+-Warray-boundsso the tree builds under 15.2.Bench (ark-release,
