<WRAP round important>
TQ **strongly recommends** to switch your PTXdist based BSP(s) to one of the above mentioned (or later) OSELAS toolchains.
</WRAP>


<WRAP round alert>
**For deployed systems with network connectivity, an update should be taken into consideration!**
</WRAP>



**__Step-by-step instructions to switch your BSP to a new toolchain__**


1. Build the new OSELAS toolchain
  * Choose the new toolchain version, which fits best and build it according to the [[http://www.pengutronix.de/software/ptxdist/appnotes/AppNote_BuildingToolchain.pdf|Application Note: Building OSELAS.Toolchains()]].\\

2. Reconfigure your BSP / platform
  * Move to your BSP root folder and execute<code>
ptxdist platformconfig
</code>
  * Navigate to<code>
architecture -->  toolchain -->
</code>and modify the following options<code>
(OSELAS.Toolchain-YYYY.MM.P) check for specific toolchain vendor
(MAJOR.MINOR[.PATCH]) check for specific glibc version
</code>to match the version information for the toochain you built in the first step.
  * Exit PTXdist and make sure your changes are saved.
  * To make PTXdist use the new toolchain for your BSP / platform execute<code>
ptxdist toolchain <path to the new toolchain>
</code>

3. Rebuild your BSP
  * For a clean rebuild execute<code>
ptxdist clean
ptxdist go --git
</code>
