Can anyone explain in detail how to add another toolchain to the list of default ones. As far i see we can integrate new toolchain using extension point
can any please explain in detail how we can do this. I'm a beginner in eclipse development and i can't find any reference to do this
Thanks

Hi Promod,
Can you give some more details of what you are trying to achieve ? I will be able to help you.
Do you want a particular toolchain installed on your eclipse CDT?
If it's a publicly available toolchain then you can install it as a plugin to eclipse.
All the plugins will be listed in eclipse marketplace. ( Help -> Eclipse Marketplace)
For example you want to install GNU ARM Eclipse plugin then you can search a keyword like "GNU ARM" or "arm" it will list the plugin
Once you install the plugin successfully, You can start creating projects using this toolchains. Project templates will be present to choose from when you start the project.
If you are asking about changing the GCC toolchain in eclipse then its different. Let me know what exactly you are looking for.

Thanks Aswin for the reply
These are the inbuilt toolchains providing by the MCU Eclipse , i Just want to add a new toolchain to this (i have binaries for the same).So how should i integrate that to this
Thanks

When you start a new project. You will get an option to choose your toolchain like this.
Don't worry if you have already started the project, then go to the go to the project->preference menu and under MCU set the toolchain path.
If you want the settings common for all the projects, then go to window->preference and under MCU select the ARM Toolchain Paths and browse to the location to your GCC
Hope this helps.

These are the options for the default toolchains provided by the MCU Eclipse right. I want to integrate a new toolchain eg: RISC-V Bitmanip to the dropdown and when i select the same it should update the path automatically like the other ones.
(Here i hardcoded the toolchain name but it is not updating the path for the global scope)
so when i searched i find this link
and they are mentioned there that these are done by using the extension points and now i'm stuck here i dont know the next step after this

Pragmatically, I would stick to the approach Aswin provided. It's commonly used, and easy to repeat.
Converting a particular version / install location of GNU into a unique Eclipse toolchain will keep you entertained for a decent time with not much efficiency gain long term.
