Dear @andrischewo

The compiler is part of the SDK. As we created our SDKs using VS2013, the compiler included is the
Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 17.00.50728.6 for ARM

I checked VS2015, it contains the
Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 19.00.24215.1 for ARM
You can try to replace the compiler.

  • You typically find the VS2015 compiler here:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\x86_arm\cl.exe
    You also need the mspdb140.dll which is located one folder level up from the one above.

  • When you build your project, the compiler is taken from the SDK, which you typically installed here:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows CE Tools\SDKs\Toradex_CE800\Sdk\Bin\i386\Arm\cl.exe
    (So this is the one you want to have replaced).
