    <title>Locating Pre-Built SDK Installers</title>

    <para>
        You can use existing, pre-built toolchains by locating and running
        an SDK installer script that ships with the Yocto Project.
        Using this method, you select and download an architecture-specific
        SDK installer and then run the script to hand-install the
        toolchain.
    </para>

    <para>
        Follow these steps to locate and hand-install the toolchain:

                (i.e. <filename>i686</filename> for 32-bit machines or
                <filename>x86_64</filename> for 64-bit machines).

                <emphasis>Locate and Download the SDK Installer:</emphasis>
                You need to find and download the installer appropriate for

                </para>

                <para>The installer files (<filename>*.sh</filename>) follow

     poky-glibc-<replaceable>host_system</replaceable>-core-image-<replaceable>type</replaceable>-<replaceable>arch</replaceable>-toolchain[-ext]-<replaceable>release</replaceable>.sh

     Where:
         <replaceable>host_system</replaceable> is a string representing your development system:
                "i686" or "x86_64"

         <replaceable>type</replaceable> is a string representing the image:
                "sato" or "minimal"

         <replaceable>arch</replaceable> is a string representing the target architecture:
                "aarch64", "armv5e", "core2-64", "coretexa8hf-neon", "i586", "mips32r2",
                "mips64", or "ppc7400"

         <replaceable>release</replaceable> is the version of Yocto Project.

         NOTE:
            The standard SDK installer does not have the "-ext" string as
            part of the filename.

                </literallayout>
                The toolchains provided by the Yocto Project are based off of
                the <filename>core-image-sato</filename> and
                <filename>core-image-minimal</filename> images and contain
                libraries appropriate for developing against those images.
                </para>

                <para>For example, if your build host is a 64-bit x86 system
                and you need an extended SDK for a 64-bit core2 target, go

                            If you want to use the toolchain to build these
                            types of libraries, you need to be sure your SDK
                            has the appropriate static development libraries.

                            file before building the SDK installer.
                            Doing so ensures that the eventual SDK installation
                            process installs the appropriate library packages
                            as part of the SDK.

    <title>Installed Standard SDK Directory Structure</title>

    <para>
        The following figure shows the resulting directory structure after
        you install the Standard SDK by running the <filename>*.sh</filename>
        SDK installation script:
    </para>

    <para>
        <imagedata fileref="figures/sdk-installed-standard-sdk-directory.png" scale="80" align="center" />
    </para>

    <para>
        The installed SDK consists of an environment setup script for the SDK,
        a configuration file for the target, a version file for the target,
        and the root filesystem (<filename>sysroots</filename>) needed to
        develop objects for the target system.
    </para>

    <para>
        Within the figure, italicized text is used to indicate replaceable
        portions of the file or directory name.
        For example,
        <replaceable>install_dir</replaceable>/<replaceable>version</replaceable>
        is the directory where the SDK is installed.
        By default, this directory is <filename>/opt/poky/</filename>.
        And, <replaceable>version</replaceable> represents the specific
        snapshot of the SDK (e.g. <filename>&DISTRO;</filename>).
        Furthermore, <replaceable>target</replaceable> represents the target
        architecture (e.g. <filename>i586</filename>) and
        <replaceable>host</replaceable> represents the development system's
        architecture (e.g. <filename>x86_64</filename>).
        Thus, the complete names of the two directories within the
        <filename>sysroots</filename> could be
        <filename>i586-poky-linux</filename> and
        <filename>x86_64-pokysdk-linux</filename> for the target and host,
        respectively.

    <title>Installed Extensible SDK Directory Structure</title>

    <para>
        The following figure shows the resulting directory structure after
        you install the Extensible SDK by running the <filename>*.sh</filename>
        SDK installation script:
    </para>

    <para>
        <imagedata fileref="figures/sdk-installed-extensible-sdk-directory.png" scale="80" align="center" />
    </para>

    <para>
        The installed directory structure for the extensible SDK is quite
        different than the installed structure for the standard SDK.
        The extensible SDK does not separate host and target parts in the
        same manner as does the standard SDK.
        The extensible SDK uses an embedded copy of the OpenEmbedded
        build system, which has its own sysroots.
    </para>

    <para>
        Of note in the directory structure are an environment setup script
        for the SDK, a configuration file for the target, a version file for
        the target, and log files for the OpenEmbedded build system
        preparation script run by the installer and BitBake.
    </para>

    <para>
        Within the figure, italicized text is used to indicate replaceable
        portions of the file or directory name.
        For example,
        <replaceable>install_dir</replaceable> is the directory where the SDK
        is installed, which is <filename>poky_sdk</filename> by default, and
        <replaceable>target</replaceable> represents the target
        architecture (e.g. <filename>i586</filename>).
