| <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> |
| You can find SDK installers here: |
| <itemizedlist> |
| <listitem><para><emphasis>Standard SDK Installers:</emphasis> |
| Go to <ulink url='&YOCTO_TOOLCHAIN_DL_URL;'></ulink> |
| and find the folder that matches your host development system |
| (i.e. <filename>i686</filename> for 32-bit machines or |
| <filename>x86_64</filename> for 64-bit machines).</para> |
| |
| <para>Go into that folder and download the SDK installer |
| whose name includes the appropriate target architecture. |
| The toolchains provided by the Yocto Project are based off of |
| the <filename>core-image-sato</filename> image and contain |
| libraries appropriate for developing against that image. |
| For example, if your host development system is a 64-bit x86 |
| system and you are going to use your cross-toolchain for a |
| 32-bit x86 target, go into the <filename>x86_64</filename> |
| folder and download the following installer: |
| <literallayout class='monospaced'> |
| poky-glibc-x86_64-core-image-sato-i586-toolchain-&DISTRO;.sh |
| </literallayout> |
| </para></listitem> |
| <listitem><para><emphasis>Extensible SDK Installers:</emphasis> |
| Installers for the extensible SDK are also located in |
| <ulink url='&YOCTO_TOOLCHAIN_DL_URL;'></ulink>. |
| These installers have the string |
| <filename>ext</filename> as part of their names: |
| <literallayout class='monospaced'> |
| poky-glibc-x86_64-core-image-sato-core2-64-toolchain-ext-&DISTRO;.sh |
| </literallayout> |
| </para></listitem> |

| <section id='sdk-building-an-sdk-installer'> |
| <title>Building an SDK Installer</title> |
| |
| <para> |
| As an alternative to locating and downloading a SDK installer, |
| you can build the SDK installer assuming you have first sourced |
| the environment setup script. |
| See the |
| "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_QS_URL;#qs-building-images'>Building Images</ulink>" |
| section in the Yocto Project Quick Start for steps that show you |
| how to set up the Yocto Project environment. |
| In particular, you need to be sure the |
| <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-MACHINE'><filename>MACHINE</filename></ulink> |
| variable matches the architecture for which you are building and that |
| the |
| <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SDKMACHINE'><filename>SDKMACHINE</filename></ulink> |
| variable is correctly set if you are building a toolchain designed to |
| run on an architecture that differs from your current development host |
| machine (i.e. the build machine). |
| </para> |
| |
| <para> |
| To build the SDK installer for a standard SDK and populate |
| the SDK image, use the following command: |
| <literallayout class='monospaced'> |
| $ bitbake <replaceable>image</replaceable> -c populate_sdk |
| </literallayout> |
| You can do the same for the extensible SDK using this command: |
| <literallayout class='monospaced'> |
| $ bitbake <replaceable>image</replaceable> -c populate_sdk_ext |
| </literallayout> |
| These commands result in a SDK installer that contains the sysroot |
| that matches your target root filesystem. |
| </para> |
| |
| <para> |
| When the <filename>bitbake</filename> command completes, the SDK |
| installer will be in |
| <filename>tmp/deploy/sdk</filename> in the Build Directory. |
| <note><title>Notes</title> |
| <itemizedlist> |
| <listitem><para> |
| By default, this toolchain does not build static binaries. |
| 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. |
| Use the |
| <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-TOOLCHAIN_TARGET_TASK'><filename>TOOLCHAIN_TARGET_TASK</filename></ulink> |
| variable inside your <filename>local.conf</filename> file |
| to install the appropriate library packages in the SDK. |
| Following is an example using <filename>libc</filename> |
| static development libraries: |
| <literallayout class='monospaced'> |
| TOOLCHAIN_TARGET_TASK_append = " libc-staticdev" |
| </literallayout> |

| <section id='sdk-extracting-the-root-filesystem'> |
| <title>Extracting the Root Filesystem</title> |
| |
| <para> |
| After installing the toolchain, for some use cases you |
| might need to separately extract a root filesystem: |
| <itemizedlist> |
| <listitem><para>You want to boot the image using NFS. |
| </para></listitem> |
| <listitem><para>You want to use the root filesystem as the |
| target sysroot. |
| For example, the Eclipse IDE environment with the Eclipse |
| Yocto Plug-in installed allows you to use QEMU to boot |
| under NFS.</para></listitem> |
| <listitem><para>You want to develop your target application |
| using the root filesystem as the target sysroot. |
| </para></listitem> |
| </itemizedlist> |
| </para> |
| |
| <para> |
| To extract the root filesystem, first <filename>source</filename> |
| the cross-development environment setup script to establish |
| necessary environment variables. |
| If you built the toolchain in the Build Directory, you will find |
| the toolchain environment script in the |
| <filename>tmp</filename> directory. |
| If you installed the toolchain by hand, the environment setup |
| script is located in <filename>/opt/poky/&DISTRO;</filename>. |
| </para> |
| |
| <para> |
| After sourcing the environment script, use the |
| <filename>runqemu-extract-sdk</filename> command and provide the |
| filesystem image. |
| </para> |
| |
| <para> |
| Following is an example. |
| The second command sets up the environment. |
| In this case, the setup script is located in the |
| <filename>/opt/poky/&DISTRO;</filename> directory. |
| The third command extracts the root filesystem from a previously |
| built filesystem that is located in the |
| <filename>~/Downloads</filename> directory. |
| Furthermore, this command extracts the root filesystem into the |
| <filename>qemux86-sato</filename> directory: |
| <literallayout class='monospaced'> |
| $ cd ~ |
| $ source /opt/poky/&DISTRO;/environment-setup-i586-poky-linux |
| $ runqemu-extract-sdk \ |
| ~/Downloads/core-image-sato-sdk-qemux86-2011091411831.rootfs.tar.bz2 \ |
| $HOME/qemux86-sato |
| </literallayout> |
| You could now point to the target sysroot at |
| <filename>qemux86-sato</filename>. |
| </para> |
| </section> |

| <section id='sdk-installed-standard-sdk-directory-structure'> |
| <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="60" 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. |
| </para> |

| <section id='sdk-installed-extensible-sdk-directory-structure'> |
| <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="60" 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 a log file for the OpenEmbedded build system |
| preparation script run by the installer. |
| </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. |
| <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>). |
