IDE for TLSR8 Chips (http://wiki.telink-semi.cn/wiki/IDE-and-Tools/IDE-for-TLSR8-Chips/) has been issued in 2017. The Eclipse version included in this IDE is very old.

How to update/replace Eclipse version in the IDE with the latest 2023 one?

Could Telink do it, or could Telink provide instructions how to do it?

Hi，

We haven't plan to update IDE forTLSR8 for yet，you can find the eclipse‘’s official documents to port，but it is not recommend， current IDE has been optimized by us.

I have updated Eclipse, but it is not only Eclipse which is part of the SDK. And, besides it would be good to see official update to the SDK after 6 years, don't you think?

For example just looking at GCC compiler - in SDK version is 4.5.2 and the latest version is v13.1. GCC 4.5.2 release date was 16/12/2010. So it was 13 years ago!

Similar situation will be with other components of the SDK. 6 years or more in software development is a long time!

I think, now Telink is more interested in TLSR9xxx series chips rather than older ones!

It is very disappointing.
