17 <para>
18 When you build a standard SDK using the

20 packages is included in the resulting SDK.
21 The

23 and
24 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-TOOLCHAIN_TARGET_TASK'><filename>TOOLCHAIN_TARGET_TASK</filename></ulink>
25 variables control the set of packages adding to the SDK.
26 </para>
27
28 <para>
29 If you want to add individual packages to the toolchain that runs on
30 the host, simply add those packages to the
31 <filename>TOOLCHAIN_HOST_TASK</filename> variable.
32 Similarly, if you want to add packages to the default set that is
33 part of the toolchain that runs on the target, add the packages to the
34 <filename>TOOLCHAIN_TARGET_TASK</filename> variable.

14<section id='sdk-configuring-the-extensible-sdk'>
15 <title>Configuring the Extensible SDK</title>
16
17 <para>
18 The extensible SDK primarily consists of a pre-configured copy of
19 the OpenEmbedded build system from which it was produced.
20 Thus, the SDK's configuration is derived using that build system and
21 the filters shown in the following list.
22 When these filters are present, the OpenEmbedded build system applies
23 them against <filename>local.conf</filename> and
24 <filename>auto.conf</filename>:
25 <itemizedlist>
26 <listitem><para>
27 Variables whose values start with "/" are excluded since the
28 assumption is that those values are paths that are likely to
29 be specific to the
30 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#hardware-build-system-term'>build host</ulink>.
31 </para></listitem>
32 <listitem><para>
33 Variables listed in
34 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SDK_LOCAL_CONF_BLACKLIST'><filename>SDK_LOCAL_CONF_BLACKLIST</filename></ulink>
35 are excluded.
36 These variables are not allowed through from the OpenEmbedded
37 build system configuration into the extensible SDK
38 configuration.
39 Typically, these variables are specific to the machine on
40 which the build system is running and could be problematic
41 as part of the extensible SDK configuration.</para>
42
43 <para>For a list of the variables excluded by default, see the
44 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SDK_LOCAL_CONF_BLACKLIST'><filename>SDK_LOCAL_CONF_BLACKLIST</filename></ulink>
45 in the glossary of the Yocto Project Reference Manual.

48 Variables listed in
49 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SDK_LOCAL_CONF_WHITELIST'><filename>SDK_LOCAL_CONF_WHITELIST</filename></ulink>
50 are included.
51 Including a variable in the value of
52 <filename>SDK_LOCAL_CONF_WHITELIST</filename> overrides either
53 of the previous two filters.
54 The default value is blank.

57 Classes inherited globally with

59 that are listed in
60 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SDK_INHERIT_BLACKLIST'><filename>SDK_INHERIT_BLACKLIST</filename></ulink>
61 are disabled.
62 Using <filename>SDK_INHERIT_BLACKLIST</filename> to disable
63 these classes is the typical method to disable classes that
64 are problematic or unnecessary in the SDK context.
65 The default value blacklists the
66 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-classes-buildhistory'><filename>buildhistory</filename></ulink>
67 and
68 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-classes-icecc'><filename>icecc</filename></ulink>
69 classes.
70 </para></listitem>
71 </itemizedlist>
72 Additionally, the contents of <filename>conf/sdk-extra.conf</filename>,
73 when present, are appended to the end of
74 <filename>conf/local.conf</filename> within the produced SDK, without
75 any filtering.
76 The <filename>sdk-extra.conf</filename> file is particularly useful
77 if you want to set a variable value just for the SDK and not the
78 OpenEmbedded build system used to create the SDK.

86 In most cases, the extensible SDK defaults should work with your
87 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#hardware-build-system-term'>build host's</ulink>
88 setup.
89 However, some cases exist for which you might consider making
90 adjustments:
91 <itemizedlist>
92 <listitem><para>
93 If your SDK configuration inherits additional classes
94 using the
95 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-INHERIT'><filename>INHERIT</filename></ulink>
96 variable and you do not need or want those classes enabled in
97 the SDK, you can blacklist them by adding them to the
98 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SDK_INHERIT_BLACKLIST'><filename>SDK_INHERIT_BLACKLIST</filename></ulink>
99 variable as described in the fourth bullet of the previous
100 section.
101 <note>
102 The default value of
103 <filename>SDK_INHERIT_BLACKLIST</filename> is set using
104 the "?=" operator.
105 Consequently, you will need to either define the entire
106 list by using the "=" operator, or you will need to append
107 a value using either "_append" or the "+=" operator.
108 You can learn more about these operators in the
109 "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_BB_URL;#basic-syntax'>Basic Syntax</ulink>"
110 section of the BitBake User Manual.

113 <listitem><para>
114 If you have classes or recipes that add additional tasks to
115 the standard build flow (i.e. the tasks execute as the recipe
116 builds as opposed to being called explicitly), then you need
117 to do one of the following:

120 After ensuring the tasks are

123 can be restored from the shared state cache) or
124 ensuring the tasks are able to be produced quickly from
125 a task that is a shared state task, add the task name
126 to the value of
127 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SDK_RECRDEP_TASKS'><filename>SDK_RECRDEP_TASKS</filename></ulink>.
128 </para></listitem>
129 <listitem><para>
130 Disable the tasks if they are added by a class and
131 you do not need the functionality the class provides
132 in the extensible SDK.
133 To disable the tasks, add the class to the
134 <filename>SDK_INHERIT_BLACKLIST</filename> variable
135 as described in the previous section.
136 </para></listitem>
137 </itemizedlist>
138 </para></listitem>
139 <listitem><para>
140 Generally, you want to have a shared state mirror set up so
141 users of the SDK can add additional items to the SDK after
142 installation without needing to build the items from source.

151 variable.
152 For more information, see the

160 (other than layers that are enabled through
161 <filename>bblayers.conf</filename>), then you must list these
162 files in
163 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-COREBASE_FILES'><filename>COREBASE_FILES</filename></ulink>
164 so that the files are copied into the SDK.

184 <title>Changing the Extensible SDK Installer Title</title>
185
186 <para>
187 You can change the displayed title for the SDK installer by setting
188 the
189 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SDK_TITLE'><filename>SDK_TITLE</filename></ulink>
190 variable and then rebuilding the the SDK installer.
191 For information on how to build an SDK installer, see the
192 "<link linkend='sdk-building-an-sdk-installer'>Building an SDK Installer</link>"
193 section.
194 </para>
195
196 <para>
197 By default, this title is derived from
198 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-DISTRO_NAME'><filename>DISTRO_NAME</filename></ulink>
199 when it is set.
200 If the <filename>DISTRO_NAME</filename> variable is not set, the title
201 is derived from the
202 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-DISTRO'><filename>DISTRO</filename></ulink>
203 variable.
204 </para>
205
206 <para>
207 The
208 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-classes-populate-sdk-*'><filename>populate_sdk_base</filename></ulink>
209 class defines the default value of the <filename>SDK_TITLE</filename>
210 variable as follows:
211 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
212 SDK_TITLE ??= "${@d.getVar('DISTRO_NAME') or d.getVar('DISTRO')} SDK"
213 </literallayout>
214 </para>
215
216 <para>
217 While several ways exist to change this variable, an efficient method
218 is to set the variable in your distribution's configuration file.
219 Doing so creates an SDK installer title that applies across your
220 distribution.
221 As an example, assume you have your own layer for your distribution
222 named "meta-mydistro" and you are using the same type of file
223 hierarchy as does the default "poky" distribution.
224 If so, you could update the <filename>SDK_TITLE</filename> variable
225 in the
226 <filename>~/meta-mydistro/conf/distro/mydistro.conf</filename> file
227 using the following form:
228 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
229 SDK_TITLE = "<replaceable>your_title</replaceable>"
230 </literallayout>

235 <title>Providing Updates to the Extensible SDK After Installation</title>
236
237 <para>
238 When you make changes to your configuration or to the metadata and
239 if you want those changes to be reflected in installed SDKs, you need
240 to perform additional steps.
241 These steps make it possible for anyone using the installed SDKs to
242 update the installed SDKs by using the
243 <filename>devtool sdk-update</filename> command:
244 <orderedlist>
245 <listitem><para>
246 Create a directory that can be shared over HTTP or HTTPS.
247 You can do this by setting up a web server such as an
248 <ulink url='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_HTTP_Server'>Apache HTTP Server</ulink>
249 or
250 <ulink url='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nginx'>Nginx</ulink>
251 server in the cloud to host the directory.
252 This directory must contain the published SDK.
253 </para></listitem>
254 <listitem><para>
255 Set the
256 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SDK_UPDATE_URL'><filename>SDK_UPDATE_URL</filename></ulink>
257 variable to point to the corresponding HTTP or HTTPS URL.
258 Setting this variable causes any SDK built to default to that
259 URL and thus, the user does not have to pass the URL to the
260 <filename>devtool sdk-update</filename> command as described
261 in the
262 "<link linkend='sdk-applying-updates-to-an-installed-extensible-sdk'>Applying Updates to an Installed Extensible SDK</link>"
263 section.

274 </literallayout>
275 You must repeat this step each time you rebuild the SDK
276 with changes that you want to make available through the
277 update mechanism.
278 </para></listitem>
279 </orderedlist>
280 </para>
281
282 <para>
283 Completing the above steps allows users of the existing installed
284 SDKs to simply run <filename>devtool sdk-update</filename> to
285 retrieve and apply the latest updates.
286 See the
287 "<link linkend='sdk-applying-updates-to-an-installed-extensible-sdk'>Applying Updates to an Installed Extensible SDK</link>"

293 <title>Changing the Default SDK Installation Directory</title>
294
295 <para>
296 When you build the installer for the Extensible SDK, the default
297 installation directory for the SDK is based on the
298 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-DISTRO'><filename>DISTRO</filename></ulink>
299 and
300 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SDKEXTPATH'><filename>SDKEXTPATH</filename></ulink>
301 variables from within the
302 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-classes-populate-sdk-*'><filename>populate_sdk_base</filename></ulink>
303 class as follows:
304 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
305 SDKEXTPATH ??= "~/${@d.getVar('DISTRO')}_sdk"
306 </literallayout>
307 You can change this default installation directory by specifically
308 setting the <filename>SDKEXTPATH</filename> variable.
309 </para>
310
311 <para>
312 While a number of ways exist through which you can set this variable,
313 the method that makes the most sense is to set the variable in your
314 distribution's configuration file.
315 Doing so creates an SDK installer default directory that applies
316 across your distribution.
317 As an example, assume you have your own layer for your distribution
318 named "meta-mydistro" and you are using the same type of file
319 hierarchy as does the default "poky" distribution.
320 If so, you could update the <filename>SDKEXTPATH</filename> variable
321 in the
322 <filename>~/meta-mydistro/conf/distro/mydistro.conf</filename> file
323 using the following form:
324 <literallayout class='monospaced'>

327 </para>
328
329 <para>
330 After building your installer, running it prompts the user for
331 acceptance of the

341 If you want the users of an extensible SDK you build to be
342 able to add items to the SDK without requiring the users to build

375 Set the appropriate configuration so that the produced SDK

379 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
380 SSTATE_MIRRORS = "file://.* http://<replaceable>example</replaceable>.com/<replaceable>some_path</replaceable>/sstate-cache/PATH"
381 </literallayout>
382 You can set the <filename>SSTATE_MIRRORS</filename> variable
383 in two different places:
384 <itemizedlist>
385 <listitem><para>
386 If the mirror value you are setting is appropriate to
387 be set for both the OpenEmbedded build system that is
388 actually building the SDK and the SDK itself (i.e. the
389 mirror is accessible in both places or it will fail
390 quickly on the OpenEmbedded build system side, and its
391 contents will not interfere with the build), then you
392 can set the variable in your
393 <filename>local.conf</filename> or custom distro
394 configuration file.
395 You can then "whitelist" the variable through
396 to the SDK by adding the following:
397 <literallayout class='monospaced'>

424 <title>Minimizing the Size of the Extensible SDK Installer Download</title>
425
426 <para>
427 By default, the extensible SDK bundles the shared state artifacts for
428 everything needed to reconstruct the image for which the SDK was built.
429 This bundling can lead to an SDK installer file that is a Gigabyte or
430 more in size.
431 If the size of this file causes a problem, you can build an SDK that
432 has just enough in it to install and provide access to the
433 <filename>devtool command</filename> by setting the following in your
434 configuration:
435 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
436 SDK_EXT_TYPE = "minimal"
437 </literallayout>
438 Setting
439 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SDK_EXT_TYPE'><filename>SDK_EXT_TYPE</filename></ulink>
440 to "minimal" produces an SDK installer that is around 35 Mbytes in
441 size, which downloads and installs quickly.
442 You need to realize, though, that the minimal installer does not
443 install any libraries or tools out of the box.
444 These libraries and tools must be installed either "on the fly" or
445 through actions you perform using <filename>devtool</filename> or
446 explicitly with the <filename>devtool sdk-install</filename> command.
447 </para>
448
449 <para>
450 In most cases, when building a minimal SDK you need to also enable
451 bringing in the information on a wider range of packages produced by
452 the system.
453 Requiring this wider range of information is particularly true
454 so that <filename>devtool add</filename> is able to effectively map
455 dependencies it discovers in a source tree to the appropriate recipes.
456 Additionally, the information enables the
457 <filename>devtool search</filename> command to return useful results.
458 </para>
459
460 <para>
461 To facilitate this wider range of information, you would need to
462 set the following:
463 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
464 SDK_INCLUDE_PKGDATA = "1"
465 </literallayout>
466 See the
467 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SDK_INCLUDE_PKGDATA'><filename>SDK_INCLUDE_PKGDATA</filename></ulink>
468 variable for additional information.
469 </para>
470
471 <para>
472 Setting the <filename>SDK_INCLUDE_PKGDATA</filename> variable as
473 shown causes the "world" target to be built so that information
474 for all of the recipes included within it are available.
475 Having these recipes available increases build time significantly and
476 increases the size of the SDK installer by 30-80 Mbytes depending on
477 how many recipes are included in your configuration.
478 </para>
479
480 <para>
481 You can use
482 <filename>EXCLUDE_FROM_WORLD_pn-</filename><replaceable>recipename</replaceable>
483 for recipes you want to exclude.
484 However, it is assumed that you would need to be building the "world"
485 target if you want to provide additional items to the SDK.
486 Consequently, building for "world" should not represent undue
487 overhead in most cases.
488 <note>
489 If you set <filename>SDK_EXT_TYPE</filename> to "minimal",
490 then providing a shared state mirror is mandatory so that items
491 can be installed as needed.
492 See the
493 "<link linkend='sdk-providing-additional-installable-extensible-sdk-content'>Providing Additional Installable Extensible SDK Content</link>"
494 section for more information.
495 </note>
496 </para>
497
498 <para>
499 You can explicitly control whether or not to include the toolchain
500 when you build an SDK by setting the
501 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SDK_INCLUDE_TOOLCHAIN'><filename>SDK_INCLUDE_TOOLCHAIN</filename></ulink>
502 variable to "1".
503 In particular, it is useful to include the toolchain when you
504 have set <filename>SDK_EXT_TYPE</filename> to "minimal", which by
505 default, excludes the toolchain.
506 Also, it is helpful if you are building a small SDK for use with
507 an IDE or some
508 other tool where you do not want to take extra steps to install a
509 toolchain.

415 The installed directory structure for the extensible SDK is quite
416 different than the installed structure for the standard SDK.
417 The extensible SDK does not separate host and target parts in the
418 same manner as does the standard SDK.
419 The extensible SDK uses an embedded copy of the OpenEmbedded
420 build system, which has its own sysroots.

422
423 <para>
424 Of note in the directory structure are an environment setup script
425 for the SDK, a configuration file for the target, a version file for

11 This chapter describes the extensible SDK and how to install it.
12 Information covers the pieces of the SDK, how to install it, and
13 presents a look at using the <filename>devtool</filename>
14 functionality.
15 The extensible SDK makes it easy to add new applications and libraries
16 to an image, modify the source for an existing component, test
17 changes on the target hardware, and ease integration into the rest of
18 the
19 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#build-system-term'>OpenEmbedded build system</ulink>.

29 In addition to the functionality available through
30 <filename>devtool</filename>, you can alternatively make use of the

38 <title>Why use the Extensible SDK and What is in It?</title>
39
40 <para>
41 The extensible SDK provides a cross-development toolchain and
42 libraries tailored to the contents of a specific image.
43 You would use the Extensible SDK if you want a toolchain experience
44 supplemented with the powerful set of <filename>devtool</filename>
45 commands tailored for the Yocto Project environment.
46 </para>
47
48 <para>
49 The installed extensible SDK consists of several files and
50 directories.
51 Basically, it contains an SDK environment setup script, some
52 configuration files, an internal build system, and the
53 <filename>devtool</filename> functionality.

58 <title>Installing the Extensible SDK</title>
59
60 <para>
61 The first thing you need to do is install the SDK on your
62 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#hardware-build-system-term'>Build Host</ulink>
63 by running the <filename>*.sh</filename> installation script.
64 </para>
65
66 <para>
67 You can download a tarball installer, which includes the
68 pre-built toolchain, the <filename>runqemu</filename>
69 script, the internal build system, <filename>devtool</filename>,
70 and support files from the appropriate
71 <ulink url='&YOCTO_TOOLCHAIN_DL_URL;'>toolchain</ulink>
72 directory within the Index of Releases.
73 Toolchains are available for several 32-bit and 64-bit
74 architectures with the <filename>x86_64</filename> directories,
75 respectively.
76 The toolchains the Yocto Project provides are based off the
77 <filename>core-image-sato</filename> and
78 <filename>core-image-minimal</filename> images and contain
79 libraries appropriate for developing against that image.
80 </para>
81
82 <para>
83 The names of the tarball installer scripts are such that a
84 string representing the host system appears first in the
85 filename and then is immediately followed by a string
86 representing the target architecture.
87 An extensible SDK has the string "-ext" as part of the name.
88 Following is the general form:
89 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
90 poky-glibc-<replaceable>host_system</replaceable>-<replaceable>image_type</replaceable>-<replaceable>arch</replaceable>-toolchain-ext-<replaceable>release_version</replaceable>.sh
91
92 Where:
93 <replaceable>host_system</replaceable> is a string representing your development system:
94
95 i686 or x86_64.
96
97 <replaceable>image_type</replaceable> is the image for which the SDK was built:
98
99 core-image-sato or core-image-minimal
100
101 <replaceable>arch</replaceable> is a string representing the tuned target architecture:
102
103 aarch64, armv5e, core2-64, i586, mips32r2, mips64, ppc7400, or cortexa8hf-neon
104
105 <replaceable>release_version</replaceable> is a string representing the release number of the Yocto Project:
106
107 &DISTRO;, &DISTRO;+snapshot
108 </literallayout>
109 For example, the following SDK installer is for a 64-bit
110 development host system and a i586-tuned target architecture
111 based off the SDK for <filename>core-image-sato</filename> and
112 using the current &DISTRO; snapshot:
113 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
114 poky-glibc-x86_64-core-image-sato-i586-toolchain-ext-&DISTRO;.sh
115 </literallayout>
116 <note>
117 As an alternative to downloading an SDK, you can build the
118 SDK installer.
119 For information on building the installer, see the
120 "<link linkend='sdk-building-an-sdk-installer'>Building an SDK Installer</link>"
121 section.
122 </note>
123 </para>
124
125 <para>
126 The SDK and toolchains are self-contained and by default are
127 installed into the <filename>poky_sdk</filename> folder in your
128 home directory.
129 You can choose to install the extensible SDK in any location when
130 you run the installer.
131 However, because files need to be written under that directory
132 during the normal course of operation, the location you choose
133 for installation must be writable for whichever
134 users need to use the SDK.
135 </para>
136
137 <para>
138 The following command shows how to run the installer given a
139 toolchain tarball for a 64-bit x86 development host system and
140 a 64-bit x86 target architecture.
141 The example assumes the SDK installer is located in
142 <filename>~/Downloads/</filename> and has execution rights.
143 <note>
144 If you do not have write permissions for the directory
145 into which you are installing the SDK, the installer
146 notifies you and exits.
147 For that case, set up the proper permissions in the directory
148 and run the installer again.

166 SDK has been successfully set up and is ready to be used.

175 <title>Running the Extensible SDK Environment Setup Script</title>
176
177 <para>
178 Once you have the SDK installed, you must run the SDK environment
179 setup script before you can actually use the SDK.
180 This setup script resides in the directory you chose when you
181 installed the SDK, which is either the default
182 <filename>poky_sdk</filename> directory or the directory you
183 chose during installation.
184 </para>
185
186 <para>
187 Before running the script, be sure it is the one that matches the
188 architecture for which you are developing.
189 Environment setup scripts begin with the string
190 "<filename>environment-setup</filename>" and include as part of
191 their name the tuned target architecture.
192 As an example, the following commands set the working directory
193 to where the SDK was installed and then source the environment
194 setup script.
195 In this example, the setup script is for an IA-based
196 target machine using i586 tuning:
197 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
198 $ cd /home/scottrif/poky_sdk
199 $ source environment-setup-core2-64-poky-linux
200 SDK environment now set up; additionally you may now run devtool to perform development tasks.
201 Run devtool --help for further details.
202 </literallayout>
203 Running the setup script defines many environment variables needed
204 in order to use the SDK (e.g. <filename>PATH</filename>,
205 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-CC'><filename>CC</filename></ulink>,
206 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-LD'><filename>LD</filename></ulink>,
207 and so forth).
208 If you want to see all the environment variables the script
209 exports, examine the installation file itself.

217 The cornerstone of the extensible SDK is a command-line tool
218 called <filename>devtool</filename>.
219 This tool provides a number of features that help
220 you build, test and package software within the extensible SDK, and
221 optionally integrate it into an image built by the OpenEmbedded
222 build system.
223 <note><title>Tip</title>
224 The use of <filename>devtool</filename> is not limited to
225 the extensible SDK.
226 You can use <filename>devtool</filename> to help you easily
227 develop any project whose build output must be part of an
228 image built using the build system.
229 </note>

231
232 <para>
233 The <filename>devtool</filename> command line is organized
234 similarly to
235 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_OM_URL;#git'>Git</ulink> in that it
236 has a number of sub-commands for each function.
237 You can run <filename>devtool --help</filename> to see all the

266 As with the build system, "recipes" represent software packages
267 within <filename>devtool</filename>.
268 When you use <filename>devtool add</filename>, a recipe is
269 automatically created.
270 When you use <filename>devtool modify</filename>, the specified
271 existing recipe is used in order to determine where to get the
272 source code and how to patch it.
273 In both cases, an environment is set up so that when you build the
274 recipe a source tree that is under your control is used in order to
275 allow you to make changes to the source as desired.
276 By default, new recipes and the source go into a "workspace"
277 directory under the SDK.

290 <para>
291 The <filename>devtool add</filename> command generates
292 a new recipe based on existing source code.
293 This command takes advantage of the
294 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#devtool-the-workspace-layer-structure'>workspace</ulink>
295 layer that many <filename>devtool</filename> commands
296 use.
297 The command is flexible enough to allow you to extract source
298 code into both the workspace or a separate local Git repository
299 and to use existing code that does not need to be extracted.

319 you could use <filename>devtool add</filename> to
320 generate a recipe based on existing source code.</para>
321
322 <para>In a shared development environment, it is
323 typical for other developers to be responsible for
324 various areas of source code.
325 As a developer, you are probably interested in using
326 that source code as part of your development within
327 the Yocto Project.
328 All you need is access to the code, a recipe, and a
329 controlled area in which to do your work.</para>
330
331 <para>Within the diagram, three possible scenarios
332 feed into the <filename>devtool add</filename> workflow:
333 <itemizedlist>
334 <listitem><para>
335 <emphasis>Left</emphasis>:
336 The left scenario in the figure represents a
337 common situation where the source code does not
338 exist locally and needs to be extracted.
339 In this situation, the source code is extracted
340 to the default workspace - you do not
341 want the files in some specific location
342 outside of the workspace.
343 Thus, everything you need will be located in
344 the workspace:
345 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
346 $ devtool add <replaceable>recipe fetchuri</replaceable>
347 </literallayout>
348 With this command, <filename>devtool</filename>
349 extracts the upstream source files into a local
350 Git repository within the
351 <filename>sources</filename> folder.
352 The command then creates a recipe named
353 <replaceable>recipe</replaceable> and a
354 corresponding append file in the workspace.
355 If you do not provide
356 <replaceable>recipe</replaceable>, the command
357 makes an attempt to determine the recipe name.
358 </para></listitem>
359 <listitem><para>
360 <emphasis>Middle</emphasis>:
361 The middle scenario in the figure also
362 represents a situation where the source code
363 does not exist locally.
364 In this case, the code is again upstream
365 and needs to be extracted to some
366 local area - this time outside of the default
367 workspace.
368 <note>
369 If required, <filename>devtool</filename>
370 always creates
371 a Git repository locally during the
372 extraction.
373 </note>
374 Furthermore, the first positional argument
375 <replaceable>srctree</replaceable> in this
376 case identifies where the
377 <filename>devtool add</filename> command
378 will locate the extracted code outside of the
379 workspace.
380 You need to specify an empty directory:
381 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
382 $ devtool add <replaceable>recipe srctree fetchuri</replaceable>
383 </literallayout>
384 In summary, the source code is pulled from
385 <replaceable>fetchuri</replaceable> and
386 extracted into the location defined by
387 <replaceable>srctree</replaceable> as a local
388 Git repository.</para>
389
390 <para>Within workspace,
391 <filename>devtool</filename> creates a

393 along with an associated append file.
394 </para></listitem>
395 <listitem><para>
396 <emphasis>Right</emphasis>:
397 The right scenario in the figure represents a
398 situation where the
399 <replaceable>srctree</replaceable> has been
400 previously prepared outside of the
401 <filename>devtool</filename> workspace.</para>
402
403 <para>The following command provides a new

405 tree location:
406 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
407 $ devtool add <replaceable>recipe srctree</replaceable>
408 </literallayout>
409 The command examines the source code and
410 creates a recipe named
411 <replaceable>recipe</replaceable> for the code
412 and places the recipe into the workspace.
413 </para>
414
415 <para>Because the extracted source code already
416 exists, <filename>devtool</filename> does not
417 try to relocate the source code into the
418 workspace - only the new recipe is placed
419 in the workspace.</para>
420
421 <para>Aside from a recipe folder, the command
422 also creates an associated append folder and

452 <para>On the other hand, if you want an image to
453 contain the recipe's packages from the workspace
454 for immediate deployment onto a device (e.g. for

461 <listitem><para>
462 <emphasis>Deploy the Build Output</emphasis>:
463 When you use the <filename>devtool build</filename>
464 command to build out your recipe, you probably want to
465 see if the resulting build output works as expected
466 on the target hardware.
467 <note>
468 This step assumes you have a previously built
469 image that is already either running in QEMU or
470 is running on actual hardware.
471 Also, it is assumed that for deployment of the

473 and, if the image is running on real hardware,
474 you have network access to and from your
475 development machine.
476 </note>
477 You can deploy your build output to that target
478 hardware by using the

494 <emphasis>Finish Your Work With the Recipe</emphasis>:
495 The <filename>devtool finish</filename> command creates
496 any patches corresponding to commits in the local

534 The <filename>devtool modify</filename> command prepares the

537 The command is flexible enough to allow you to extract code

539 keep track of and gather any patch files from other developers
540 that are associated with the code.

558 <emphasis>Preparing to Modify the Code</emphasis>:
559 The top part of the flow shows three scenarios by which
560 you could use <filename>devtool modify</filename> to
561 prepare to work on source files.
562 Each scenario assumes the following:
563 <itemizedlist>
564 <listitem><para>
565 The recipe exists locally in a layer external
566 to the <filename>devtool</filename> workspace.
567 </para></listitem>
568 <listitem><para>
569 The source files exist either upstream in an
570 un-extracted state or locally in a previously
571 extracted state.
572 </para></listitem>
573 </itemizedlist>
574 The typical situation is where another developer has
575 created a layer for use with the Yocto Project and
576 their recipe already resides in that layer.
577 Furthermore, their source code is readily available
578 either upstream or locally.
579 <itemizedlist>
580 <listitem><para>
581 <emphasis>Left</emphasis>:
582 The left scenario in the figure represents a
583 common situation where the source code does
584 not exist locally and it needs to be extracted
585 from an upstream source.
586 In this situation, the source is extracted
587 into the default <filename>devtool</filename>
588 workspace location.
589 The recipe, in this scenario, is in its own
590 layer outside the workspace
591 (i.e.
592 <filename>meta-</filename><replaceable>layername</replaceable>).
593 </para>
594
595 <para>The following command identifies the
596 recipe and, by default, extracts the source
597 files:
598 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
599 $ devtool modify <replaceable>recipe</replaceable>
600 </literallayout>
601 Once <filename>devtool</filename>locates the
602 recipe, <filename>devtool</filename> uses the
603 recipe's
604 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SRC_URI'><filename>SRC_URI</filename></ulink>
605 statements to locate the source code and any
606 local patch files from other developers.</para>
607
608 <para>With this scenario, no
609 <replaceable>srctree</replaceable> argument
610 exists.
611 Consequently, the default behavior of the
612 <filename>devtool modify</filename> command is
613 to extract the source files pointed to by the
614 <filename>SRC_URI</filename> statements into a
615 local Git structure.
616 Furthermore, the location for the extracted
617 source is the default area within the
618 <filename>devtool</filename> workspace.
619 The result is that the command sets up both
620 the source code and an append file within the
621 workspace while the recipe remains in its
622 original location.</para>
623
624 <para>Additionally, if you have any non-patch
625 local files (i.e. files referred to with
626 <filename>file://</filename> entries in
627 <filename>SRC_URI</filename> statement excluding
628 <filename>*.patch/</filename> or
629 <filename>*.diff</filename>), these files are
630 copied to an
631 <filename>oe-local-files</filename> folder
632 under the newly created source tree.
633 Copying the files here gives you a convenient
634 area from which you can modify the files.
635 Any changes or additions you make to those
636 files are incorporated into the build the next
637 time you build the software just as are other
638 changes you might have made to the source.

640 <listitem><para>
641 <emphasis>Middle</emphasis>:
642 The middle scenario in the figure represents a
643 situation where the source code also does not
644 exist locally.
645 In this case, the code is again upstream
646 and needs to be extracted to some
647 local area as a Git repository.
648 The recipe, in this scenario, is again local
649 and in its own layer outside the workspace.

651
652 <para>The following command tells
653 <filename>devtool</filename> the recipe with
654 which to work and, in this case, identifies a

662 You cannot provide a URL for

665 </note>
666 As with all extractions, the command uses
667 the recipe's <filename>SRC_URI</filename>
668 statements to locate the source files and any
669 associated patch files.

691 exists locally as a previously extracted Git
692 structure outside of the

698 <para>The following command tells

889 <listitem><para>

899 revision in the upstream Git repository).
900 </para></listitem>
901 </itemizedlist>
902 A common situation is where third-party software has
903 undergone a revision so that it has been upgraded.
904 The recipe you have access to is likely in your own
905 layer.
906 Thus, you need to upgrade the recipe to use the
907 newer version of the software:
908 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
909 $ devtool upgrade -V <replaceable>version recipe</replaceable>
910 </literallayout>
911 By default, the <filename>devtool upgrade</filename>
912 command extracts source code into the
913 <filename>sources</filename> directory in the
914 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#devtool-the-workspace-layer-structure'>workspace</ulink>.
915 If you want the code extracted to any other location,
916 you need to provide the
917 <replaceable>srctree</replaceable> positional argument
918 with the command as follows:
919 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
920 $ devtool upgrade -V <replaceable>version recipe srctree</replaceable>
921 </literallayout>
922 <note>
923 In this example, the "-V" option specifies the new
924 version.
925 If you don't use "-V", the command upgrades the
926 recipe to the latest version.
927 </note>
928 If the source files pointed to by the
929 <filename>SRC_URI</filename> statement in the recipe
930 are in a Git repository, you must provide the "-S"
931 option and specify a revision for the software.</para>
932
933 <para>Once <filename>devtool</filename> locates the
934 recipe, it uses the <filename>SRC_URI</filename>
935 variable to locate the source code and any local patch

1113 Apart from binary packages, the determination of how a source tree
1114 should be treated is automatic based on the files present within
1115 that source tree.
1116 For example, if a <filename>CMakeLists.txt</filename> file is found,
1117 then the source tree is assumed to be using
1118 CMake and is treated accordingly.
1119 <note>
1120 In most cases, you need to edit the automatically generated
1121 recipe in order to make it build properly.
1122 Typically, you would go through several edit and build cycles
1123 until the recipe successfully builds.
1124 Once the recipe builds, you could use possible further
1125 iterations to test the recipe on the target device.

1136
1137 <para>
1138 If you do not specify a name and version on the command
1139 line, <filename>devtool add</filename> uses various metadata
1140 within the source tree in an attempt to determine
1141 the name and version of the software being built.
1142 Based on what the tool determines, <filename>devtool</filename>
1143 sets the name of the created recipe file accordingly.
1144 </para>
1145
1146 <para>
1147 If <filename>devtool</filename> cannot determine the name and
1148 version, the command prints an error.
1149 For such cases, you must re-run the command and provide
1150 the name and version, just the name, or just the version as
1151 part of the command line.

1159 $ devtool reset -n <replaceable>recipename</replaceable>

1168 <title>Dependency Detection and Mapping</title>
1169
1170 <para>
1171 The <filename>devtool add</filename> command attempts to
1172 detect build-time dependencies and map them to other recipes
1173 in the system.
1174 During this mapping, the command fills in the names of those
1175 recipes as part of the
1176 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-DEPENDS'><filename>DEPENDS</filename></ulink>
1177 variable within the recipe.
1178 If a dependency cannot be mapped, <filename>devtool</filename>
1179 places a comment in the recipe indicating such.
1180 The inability to map a dependency can result from naming not
1181 being recognized or because the dependency simply is not
1182 available.
1183 For cases where the dependency is not available, you must use
1184 the <filename>devtool add</filename> command to add an
1185 additional recipe that satisfies the dependency.
1186 Once you add that recipe, you need to update the
1187 <filename>DEPENDS</filename> variable in the original recipe
1188 to include the new recipe.
1189 </para>
1190
1191 <para>
1192 If you need to add runtime dependencies, you can do so by
1193 adding the following to your recipe:
1194 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
1195 RDEPENDS_${PN} += "<replaceable>dependency1 dependency2 ...</replaceable>"
1196 </literallayout>
1197 <note>
1198 The <filename>devtool add</filename> command often cannot
1199 distinguish between mandatory and optional dependencies.
1200 Consequently, some of the detected dependencies might
1201 in fact be optional.
1202 When in doubt, consult the documentation or the configure
1203 script for the software the recipe is building for further
1204 details.
1205 In some cases, you might find you can substitute the
1206 dependency with an option that disables the associated
1207 functionality passed to the configure script.

1216 The <filename>devtool add</filename> command attempts to
1217 determine if the software you are adding is able to be
1218 distributed under a common, open-source license.
1219 If so, the command sets the
1220 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-LICENSE'><filename>LICENSE</filename></ulink>
1221 value accordingly.
1222 You should double-check the value added by the command against
1223 the documentation or source files for the software you are
1224 building and, if necessary, update that
1225 <filename>LICENSE</filename> value.
1226 </para>
1227
1228 <para>
1229 The <filename>devtool add</filename> command also sets the
1230 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-LIC_FILES_CHKSUM'><filename>LIC_FILES_CHKSUM</filename></ulink>
1231 value to point to all files that appear to be license-related.
1232 Realize that license statements often appear in comments at
1233 the top of source files or within the documentation.
1234 In such cases, the command does not recognize those license
1235 statements.
1236 Consequently, you might need to amend the
1237 <filename>LIC_FILES_CHKSUM</filename> variable to point to one
1238 or more of those comments if present.
1239 Setting <filename>LIC_FILES_CHKSUM</filename> is particularly
1240 important for third-party software.
1241 The mechanism attempts to ensure correct licensing should you
1242 upgrade the recipe to a newer upstream version in future.
1243 Any change in licensing is detected and you receive an error
1244 prompting you to check the license text again.
1245 </para>
1246
1247 <para>
1248 If the <filename>devtool add</filename> command cannot
1249 determine licensing information, <filename>devtool</filename>
1250 sets the <filename>LICENSE</filename> value to "CLOSED" and
1251 leaves the <filename>LIC_FILES_CHKSUM</filename> value unset.
1252 This behavior allows you to continue with development even
1253 though the settings are unlikely to be correct in all cases.
1254 You should check the documentation or source files for the
1255 software you are building to determine the actual license.

1260 <title>Adding Makefile-Only Software</title>
1261
1262 <para>
1263 The use of Make by itself is very common in both proprietary
1264 and open-source software.
1265 Unfortunately, Makefiles are often not written with
1266 cross-compilation in mind.
1267 Thus, <filename>devtool add</filename> often cannot do very
1268 much to ensure that these Makefiles build correctly.
1269 It is very common, for example, to explicitly call
1270 <filename>gcc</filename> instead of using the
1271 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-CC'><filename>CC</filename></ulink>
1272 variable.
1273 Usually, in a cross-compilation environment,
1274 <filename>gcc</filename> is the compiler for the build host
1275 and the cross-compiler is named something similar to
1276 <filename>arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc</filename> and might
1277 require arguments (e.g. to point to the associated sysroot
1278 for the target machine).
1279 </para>
1280
1281 <para>
1282 When writing a recipe for Makefile-only software, keep the
1283 following in mind:
1284 <itemizedlist>
1285 <listitem><para>
1286 You probably need to patch the Makefile to use
1287 variables instead of hardcoding tools within the
1288 toolchain such as <filename>gcc</filename> and
1289 <filename>g++</filename>.
1290 </para></listitem>
1291 <listitem><para>
1292 The environment in which Make runs is set up with
1293 various standard variables for compilation (e.g.
1294 <filename>CC</filename>, <filename>CXX</filename>, and
1295 so forth) in a similar manner to the environment set
1296 up by the SDK's environment setup script.
1297 One easy way to see these variables is to run the
1298 <filename>devtool build</filename> command on the
1299 recipe and then look in
1300 <filename>oe-logs/run.do_compile</filename>.
1301 Towards the top of this file, a list of environment
1302 variables exists that are being set.
1303 You can take advantage of these variables within the
1304 Makefile.
1305 </para></listitem>
1306 <listitem><para>
1307 If the Makefile sets a default for a variable using "=",
1308 that default overrides the value set in the environment,
1309 which is usually not desirable.
1310 For this case, you can either patch the Makefile
1311 so it sets the default using the "?=" operator, or
1312 you can alternatively force the value on the
1313 <filename>make</filename> command line.
1314 To force the value on the command line, add the
1315 variable setting to
1316 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-EXTRA_OEMAKE'><filename>EXTRA_OEMAKE</filename></ulink>
1317 or
1318 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PACKAGECONFIG_CONFARGS'><filename>PACKAGECONFIG_CONFARGS</filename></ulink>
1319 within the recipe.
1320 Here is an example using <filename>EXTRA_OEMAKE</filename>:
1321 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
1322 EXTRA_OEMAKE += "'CC=${CC}' 'CXX=${CXX}'"
1323 </literallayout>
1324 In the above example, single quotes are used around the
1325 variable settings as the values are likely to contain
1326 spaces because required default options are passed to
1327 the compiler.
1328 </para></listitem>
1329 <listitem><para>
1330 Hardcoding paths inside Makefiles is often problematic
1331 in a cross-compilation environment.
1332 This is particularly true because those hardcoded paths
1333 often point to locations on the build host and thus
1334 will either be read-only or will introduce
1335 contamination into the cross-compilation because they
1336 are specific to the build host rather than the target.
1337 Patching the Makefile to use prefix variables or other
1338 path variables is usually the way to handle this
1339 situation.
1340 </para></listitem>
1341 <listitem><para>
1342 Sometimes a Makefile runs target-specific commands such
1343 as <filename>ldconfig</filename>.

1345 remove these commands from the Makefile.

1358 You should indicate this requirement by using one of the

1361 <itemizedlist>
1362 <listitem><para>
1363 Specify the name of the recipe such that it ends

1368 <listitem><para>
1369 Specify the "&dash;&dash;also-native" option with the
1370 <filename>devtool add</filename> command.
1371 Specifying this option creates a recipe file that still
1372 builds for the target but also creates a variant with
1373 a "-native" suffix that builds for the build host.
1374 </para></listitem>
1375 </itemizedlist>
1376 <note>
1377 If you need to add a tool that is shipped as part of a
1378 source tree that builds code for the target, you can
1379 typically accomplish this by building the native and target
1380 parts separately rather than within the same compilation
1381 process.
1382 Realize though that with the "&dash;&dash;also-native"
1383 option, you can add the tool using just one recipe file.

1607 Recipes often need to use files provided by other recipes on
1608 the
1609 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#hardware-build-system-term'>build host</ulink>.
1610 For example, an application linking to a common library needs
1611 access to the library itself and its associated headers.
1612 The way this access is accomplished within the extensible SDK is
1613 through the sysroot.
1614 One sysroot exists per "machine" for which the SDK is being
1615 built.
1616 In practical terms, this means a sysroot exists for the target
1617 machine, and a sysroot exists for the build host.
1618 </para>
1619
1620 <para>
1621 Recipes should never write files directly into the sysroot.
1622 Instead, files should be installed into standard locations
1623 during the
1624 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-tasks-install'><filename>do_install</filename></ulink>
1625 task within the
1626 <filename>${</filename><ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-D'><filename>D</filename></ulink><filename>}</filename>
1627 directory.
1628 A subset of these files automatically goes into the sysroot.
1629 The reason for this limitation is that almost all files that go
1630 into the sysroot are cataloged in manifests in order to ensure
1631 they can be removed later when a recipe is modified or removed.
1632 Thus, the sysroot is able to remain free from stale files.

1637 <title>Packaging</title>
1638
1639 <para>
1640 Packaging is not always particularly relevant within the
1641 extensible SDK.
1642 However, if you examine how build output gets into the final image
1643 on the target device, it is important to understand packaging
1644 because the contents of the image are expressed in terms of
1645 packages and not recipes.
1646 </para>
1647
1648 <para>
1649 During the
1650 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-tasks-package'><filename>do_package</filename></ulink>
1651 task, files installed during the
1652 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#ref-tasks-install'><filename>do_install</filename></ulink>
1653 task are split into one main package, which is almost always
1654 named the same as the recipe, and into several other packages.
1655 This separation exists because not all of those installed files
1656 are useful in every image.
1657 For example, you probably do not need any of the documentation
1658 installed in a production image.
1659 Consequently, for each recipe the documentation files are
1660 separated into a <filename>-doc</filename> package.
1661 Recipes that package software containing optional modules or
1662 plugins might undergo additional package splitting as well.
1663 </para>
1664
1665 <para>
1666 After building a recipe, you can see where files have gone by
1667 looking in the <filename>oe-workdir/packages-split</filename>
1668 directory, which contains a subdirectory for each package.
1669 Apart from some advanced cases, the
1670 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PACKAGES'><filename>PACKAGES</filename></ulink>
1671 and
1672 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-FILES'><filename>FILES</filename></ulink>
1673 variables controls splitting.
1674 The <filename>PACKAGES</filename> variable lists all of the
1675 packages to be produced, while the <filename>FILES</filename>
1676 variable specifies which files to include in each package by
1677 using an override to specify the package.
1678 For example, <filename>FILES_${PN}</filename> specifies the
1679 files to go into the main package (i.e. the main package has
1680 the same name as the recipe and
1681 <filename>${</filename><ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PN'><filename>PN</filename></ulink><filename>}</filename>
1682 evaluates to the recipe name).
1683 The order of the <filename>PACKAGES</filename> value is
1684 significant.
1685 For each installed file, the first package whose
1686 <filename>FILES</filename> value matches the file is the
1687 package into which the file goes.
1688 Defaults exist for both the <filename>PACKAGES</filename> and
1689 <filename>FILES</filename> variables.
1690 Consequently, you might find you do not even need to set these
1691 variables in your recipe unless the software the recipe is
1692 building installs files into non-standard locations.

1698 <title>Restoring the Target Device to its Original State</title>
1699
1700 <para>
1701 If you use the <filename>devtool deploy-target</filename>
1702 command to write a recipe's build output to the target, and
1703 you are working on an existing component of the system, then you
1704 might find yourself in a situation where you need to restore the
1705 original files that existed prior to running the
1706 <filename>devtool deploy-target</filename> command.
1707 Because the <filename>devtool deploy-target</filename> command
1708 backs up any files it overwrites, you can use the
1709 <filename>devtool undeploy-target</filename> command to restore
1710 those files and remove any other files the recipe deployed.
1711 Consider the following example:
1712 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
1713 $ devtool undeploy-target lighttpd root@192.168.7.2
1714 </literallayout>
1715 If you have deployed multiple applications, you can remove them
1716 all using the "-a" option thus restoring the target device to its
1717 original state:
1718 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
1719 $ devtool undeploy-target -a root@192.168.7.2
1720 </literallayout>
1721 Information about files deployed to the target as well as any
1722 backed up files are stored on the target itself.
1723 This storage, of course, requires some additional space
1724 on the target machine.
1725 <note>
1726 The <filename>devtool deploy-target</filename> and
1727 <filename>devtool undeploy-target</filename> commands do not
1728 currently interact with any package management system on the
1729 target device (e.g. RPM or OPKG).
1730 Consequently, you should not intermingle
1731 <filename>devtool deploy-target</filename> and package
1732 manager operations on the target device.
1733 Doing so could result in a conflicting set of files.

1739 <title>Installing Additional Items Into the Extensible SDK</title>
1740
1741 <para>
1742 Out of the box the extensible SDK typically only comes with a small
1743 number of tools and libraries.
1744 A minimal SDK starts mostly empty and is populated on-demand.
1745 Sometimes you must explicitly install extra items into the SDK.
1746 If you need these extra items, you can first search for the items
1747 using the <filename>devtool search</filename> command.
1748 For example, suppose you need to link to libGL but you are not sure
1749 which recipe provides libGL.
1750 You can use the following command to find out:
1751 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
1752 $ devtool search libGL
1753 mesa A free implementation of the OpenGL API
1754 </literallayout>
1755 Once you know the recipe (i.e. <filename>mesa</filename> in this
1756 example), you can install it:
1757 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
1758 $ devtool sdk-install mesa
1759 </literallayout>
1760 By default, the <filename>devtool sdk-install</filename> command
1761 assumes the item is available in pre-built form from your SDK
1762 provider.
1763 If the item is not available and it is acceptable to build the item
1764 from source, you can add the "-s" option as follows:
1765 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
1766 $ devtool sdk-install -s mesa
1767 </literallayout>
1768 It is important to remember that building the item from source
1769 takes significantly longer than installing the pre-built artifact.
1770 Also, if no recipe exists for the item you want to add to the SDK,
1771 you must instead add the item using the
1772 <filename>devtool add</filename> command.

1780 If you are working with an installed extensible SDK that gets
1781 occasionally updated (e.g. a third-party SDK), then you will need
1782 to manually "pull down" the updates into the installed SDK.
1783 </para>
1784
1785 <para>
1786 To update your installed SDK, use <filename>devtool</filename> as
1787 follows:
1788 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
1789 $ devtool sdk-update
1790 </literallayout>
1791 The previous command assumes your SDK provider has set the default
1792 update URL for you through the
1793 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SDK_UPDATE_URL'><filename>SDK_UPDATE_URL</filename></ulink>
1794 variable as described in the
1795 "<link linkend='sdk-providing-updates-to-the-extensible-sdk-after-installation'>Providing Updates to the Extensible SDK After Installation</link>"
1796 section.
1797 If the SDK provider has not set that default URL, you need to
1798 specify it yourself in the command as follows:
1799 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
1800 $ devtool sdk-update <replaceable>path_to_update_directory</replaceable>
1801 </literallayout>
1802 <note>

1811
1812 <para>
1813 You might need to produce an SDK that contains your own custom
1814 libraries.
1815 A good example would be if you were a vendor with customers that
1816 use your SDK to build their own platform-specific software and
1817 those customers need an SDK that has custom libraries.
1818 In such a case, you can produce a derivative SDK based on the
1819 currently installed SDK fairly easily by following these steps:
1820 <orderedlist>
1821 <listitem><para>
1822 If necessary, install an extensible SDK that
1823 you want to use as a base for your derivative SDK.

1836 The previous steps take the recipes added to the workspace and
1837 construct a new SDK installer that contains those recipes and the
1838 resulting binary artifacts.
1839 The recipes go into their own separate layer in the constructed
1840 derivative SDK, which leaves the workspace clean and ready for
1841 users to add their own recipes.

13 Welcome to the Yocto Project Application Development and the
14 Extensible Software Development Kit (eSDK) manual.
15 This manual provides information that explains how to use both the
16 Yocto Project extensible and standard SDKs to develop
17 applications and images.
18 <note>
19 Prior to the 2.0 Release of the Yocto Project, application
20 development was primarily accomplished through the use of the
21 Application Development Toolkit (ADT) and the availability
22 of stand-alone cross-development toolchains and other tools.
23 With the 2.1 Release of the Yocto Project, application development
24 has transitioned to within a tool-rich extensible SDK and the more
25 traditional standard SDK.
26 </note>
27 </para>
28
29 <para>
30 All SDKs consist of the following:
31 <itemizedlist>
32 <listitem><para>
33 <emphasis>Cross-Development Toolchain</emphasis>:
34 This toolchain contains a compiler, debugger, and various
35 miscellaneous tools.
36 </para></listitem>
37 <listitem><para>
38 <emphasis>Libraries, Headers, and Symbols</emphasis>:

43 <emphasis>Environment Setup Script</emphasis>:
44 This <filename>*.sh</filename> file, once run, sets up the
45 cross-development environment by defining variables and
46 preparing for SDK use.
47 </para></listitem>
48 </itemizedlist>
49 </para>
50
51 <para>
52 Additionally, an extensible SDK has tools that allow you to easily add
53 new applications and libraries to an image, modify the source of an
54 existing component, test changes on the target hardware, and easily
55 integrate an application into the
56 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#build-system-term'>OpenEmbedded build system</ulink>.
57 </para>
58
59 <para>
60 You can use an SDK to independently develop and test code
61 that is destined to run on some target machine.
62 SDKs are completely self-contained.
63 The binaries are linked against their own copy of
64 <filename>libc</filename>, which results in no dependencies
65 on the target system.
66 To achieve this, the pointer to the dynamic loader is
67 configured at install time since that path cannot be dynamically
68 altered.
69 This is the reason for a wrapper around the
70 <filename>populate_sdk</filename> and
71 <filename>populate_sdk_ext</filename> archives.
72 </para>
73
74 <para>
75 Another feature for the SDKs is that only one set of cross-compiler
76 toolchain binaries are produced for any given architecture.
77 This feature takes advantage of the fact that the target hardware can
78 be passed to <filename>gcc</filename> as a set of compiler options.
79 Those options are set up by the environment script and contained in
80 variables such as
81 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-CC'><filename>CC</filename></ulink>
82 and
83 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-LD'><filename>LD</filename></ulink>.
84 This reduces the space needed for the tools.
85 Understand, however, that every target still needs a sysroot because
86 those binaries are target-specific.
87 </para>
88
89 <para>
90 The SDK development environment consists of the following:
91 <itemizedlist>
92 <listitem><para>
93 The self-contained SDK, which is an
94 architecture-specific cross-toolchain and
95 matching sysroots (target and native) all built by the
96 OpenEmbedded build system (e.g. the SDK).
97 The toolchain and sysroots are based on a
98 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#metadata'>Metadata</ulink>
99 configuration and extensions,
100 which allows you to cross-develop on the host machine for the
101 target hardware.
102 Additionally, the extensible SDK contains the
103 <filename>devtool</filename> functionality.
104 </para></listitem>
105 <listitem><para>
106 The Quick EMUlator (QEMU), which lets you simulate
107 target hardware.
108 QEMU is not literally part of the SDK.
109 You must build and include this emulator separately.
110 However, QEMU plays an important role in the development
111 process that revolves around use of the SDK.
112 </para></listitem>
113 </itemizedlist>
114 </para>
115
116 <para>
117 In summary, the extensible and standard SDK share many features.
118 However, the extensible SDK has powerful development tools to help you
119 more quickly develop applications.
120 Following is a table that summarizes the primary differences between
121 the standard and extensible SDK types when considering which to

263 Fundamentally, the SDK fits into the development process as follows:
264 <imagedata fileref="figures/sdk-environment.png" align="center" width="6in" depth="5in" scalefit="100" />
265 The SDK is installed on any machine and can be used to develop
266 applications, images, and kernels.
267 An SDK can even be used by a QA Engineer or Release Engineer.
268 The fundamental concept is that the machine that has the SDK installed
269 does not have to be associated with the machine that has the
270 Yocto Project installed.
271 A developer can independently compile and test an object on their
272 machine and then, when the object is ready for integration into an
273 image, they can simply make it available to the machine that has the
274 Yocto Project.
275 Once the object is available, the image can be rebuilt using the
276 Yocto Project to produce the modified image.

298 from which to download the kernel image and root filesystem.
299 This download area could have several files in it that
300 support development using actual hardware.
301 For example, the area might contain
302 <filename>.hddimg</filename> files that combine the
303 kernel image with the filesystem, boot loaders, and
304 so forth.
305 Be sure to get the files you need for your particular
306 development process.</para>
307
308 <para>If you are going to develop your application and
309 then run and test it using the QEMU emulator, go to the
310 <ulink url='&YOCTO_QEMU_DL_URL;'><filename>machines/qemu</filename></ulink>
311 download area.
312 From this area, go down into the directory for your
313 target architecture (e.g. <filename>qemux86_64</filename>
314 for an <trademark class='registered'>Intel</trademark>-based
315 64-bit architecture).
316 Download the kernel, root filesystem, and any other files you
317 need for your process.
318 <note>
319 To use the root filesystem in QEMU, you need to extract it.
320 See the
321 "<link linkend='sdk-extracting-the-root-filesystem'>Extracting the Root Filesystem</link>"
322 section for information on how to extract the root
323 filesystem.

330 you can go to
331 <ulink url='http://wiki.qemu.org/Main_Page'>QEMU Home Page</ulink>
332 to download and learn about the emulator.

7 <title>Using the Standard SDK</title>
8
9 <para>
10 This chapter describes the standard SDK and how to install it.
11 Information includes unique installation and setup aspects for the
12 standard SDK.
13 <note>
14 For a side-by-side comparison of main features supported for a
15 standard SDK as compared to an extensible SDK, see the
16 "<link linkend='sdk-manual-intro'>Introduction</link>"
17 section.
18 </note>
19 </para>
20
21 <para>
22 You can use a standard SDK to work on Makefile and Autotools-based
23 projects.
24 See the
25 "<link linkend='sdk-working-projects'>Using the SDK Toolchain Directly</link>"
26 chapter for more information.
27 </para>
28
29 <section id='sdk-standard-sdk-intro'>
30 <title>Why use the Standard SDK and What is in It?</title>
31
32 <para>
33 The Standard SDK provides a cross-development toolchain and
34 libraries tailored to the contents of a specific image.
35 You would use the Standard SDK if you want a more traditional
36 toolchain experience as compared to the extensible SDK, which
37 provides an internal build system and the
38 <filename>devtool</filename> functionality.
39 </para>
40
41 <para>
42 The installed Standard SDK consists of several files and
43 directories.
44 Basically, it contains an SDK environment setup script, some
45 configuration files, and host and target root filesystems to
46 support usage.
47 You can see the directory structure in the
48 "<link linkend='sdk-installed-standard-sdk-directory-structure'>Installed Standard SDK Directory Structure</link>"
49 section.
50 </para>
51 </section>
52
53 <section id='sdk-installing-the-sdk'>
54 <title>Installing the SDK</title>
55
56 <para>
57 The first thing you need to do is install the SDK on your
58 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#hardware-build-system-term'>Build Host</ulink>
59 by running the <filename>*.sh</filename> installation script.
60 </para>
61
62 <para>
63 You can download a tarball installer, which includes the
64 pre-built toolchain, the <filename>runqemu</filename>
65 script, and support files from the appropriate
66 <ulink url='&YOCTO_TOOLCHAIN_DL_URL;'>toolchain</ulink>
67 directory within the Index of Releases.
68 Toolchains are available for several 32-bit and 64-bit
69 architectures with the <filename>x86_64</filename> directories,
70 respectively.
71 The toolchains the Yocto Project provides are based off the
72 <filename>core-image-sato</filename> and
73 <filename>core-image-minimal</filename> images and contain
74 libraries appropriate for developing against that image.
75 </para>
76
77 <para>
78 The names of the tarball installer scripts are such that a
79 string representing the host system appears first in the
80 filename and then is immediately followed by a string
81 representing the target architecture.
82 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
83 poky-glibc-<replaceable>host_system</replaceable>-<replaceable>image_type</replaceable>-<replaceable>arch</replaceable>-toolchain-<replaceable>release_version</replaceable>.sh
84
85 Where:
86 <replaceable>host_system</replaceable> is a string representing your development system:
87
88 i686 or x86_64.
89
90 <replaceable>image_type</replaceable> is the image for which the SDK was built:
91
92 core-image-minimal or core-image-sato.
93
94 <replaceable>arch</replaceable> is a string representing the tuned target architecture:
95
96 aarch64, armv5e, core2-64, i586, mips32r2, mips64, ppc7400, or cortexa8hf-neon.
97
98 <replaceable>release_version</replaceable> is a string representing the release number of the Yocto Project:
99
100 &DISTRO;, &DISTRO;+snapshot
101 </literallayout>
102 For example, the following SDK installer is for a 64-bit
103 development host system and a i586-tuned target architecture
104 based off the SDK for <filename>core-image-sato</filename> and
105 using the current &DISTRO; snapshot:
106 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
107 poky-glibc-x86_64-core-image-sato-i586-toolchain-&DISTRO;.sh
108 </literallayout>
109 <note>
110 As an alternative to downloading an SDK, you can build the
111 SDK installer.
112 For information on building the installer, see the
113 "<link linkend='sdk-building-an-sdk-installer'>Building an SDK Installer</link>"
114 section.
115 </note>
116 </para>
117
118 <para>
119 The SDK and toolchains are self-contained and by default are
120 installed into the <filename>poky_sdk</filename> folder in your
121 home directory.
122 You can choose to install the extensible SDK in any location when
123 you run the installer.
124 However, because files need to be written under that directory
125 during the normal course of operation, the location you choose
126 for installation must be writable for whichever
127 users need to use the SDK.
128 </para>
129
130 <para>
131 The following command shows how to run the installer given a
132 toolchain tarball for a 64-bit x86 development host system and
133 a 64-bit x86 target architecture.
134 The example assumes the SDK installer is located in
135 <filename>~/Downloads/</filename> and has execution rights.
136 <note>
137 If you do not have write permissions for the directory

167
168 <para>
169 Once you have the SDK installed, you must run the SDK environment
170 setup script before you can actually use the SDK.
171 This setup script resides in the directory you chose when you
172 installed the SDK, which is either the default
173 <filename>/opt/poky/&DISTRO;</filename> directory or the directory
174 you chose during installation.
175 </para>
176
177 <para>
178 Before running the script, be sure it is the one that matches the
179 architecture for which you are developing.
180 Environment setup scripts begin with the string
181 "<filename>environment-setup</filename>" and include as part of
182 their name the tuned target architecture.
183 As an example, the following commands set the working directory
184 to where the SDK was installed and then source the environment
185 setup script.
186 In this example, the setup script is for an IA-based
187 target machine using i586 tuning:
188 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
189 $ source /opt/poky/&DISTRO;/environment-setup-i586-poky-linux
190 </literallayout>
191 When you run the setup script, the same environment variables are
192 defined as are when you run the setup script for an extensible SDK.

98 <emphasis>Source the Cross-Toolchain
99 Environment Setup File:</emphasis>
100 As described earlier in the manual, installing the
101 cross-toolchain creates a cross-toolchain
102 environment setup script in the directory that the SDK
103 was installed.
104 Before you can use the tools to develop your project,
105 you must source this setup script.
106 The script begins with the string "environment-setup"
107 and contains the machine architecture, which is
108 followed by the string "poky-linux".
109 For this example, the command sources a script from the
110 default SDK installation directory that uses the
111 32-bit Intel x86 Architecture and the
112 &DISTRO_NAME; Yocto Project release:
113 <literallayout class='monospaced'>

121 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
122 $ autoreconf

124 The <filename>autoreconf</filename> tool takes care
125 of running the other Autotools such as
126 <filename>aclocal</filename>,
127 <filename>autoconf</filename>, and
128 <filename>automake</filename>.
129 <note>
130 If you get errors from
131 <filename>configure.ac</filename>, which
132 <filename>autoreconf</filename> runs, that indicate
133 missing files, you can use the "-i" option, which
134 ensures missing auxiliary files are copied to the build
135 host.

139 <emphasis>Cross-Compile the Project:</emphasis>
140 This command compiles the project using the
141 cross-compiler.
142 The
143 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-CONFIGURE_FLAGS'><filename>CONFIGURE_FLAGS</filename></ulink>
144 environment variable provides the minimal arguments for
145 GNU configure:
146 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
147 $ ./configure ${CONFIGURE_FLAGS}
148 </literallayout>
149 For an Autotools-based project, you can use the
150 cross-toolchain by just passing the appropriate host
151 option to <filename>configure.sh</filename>.
152 The host option you use is derived from the name of the
153 environment setup script found in the directory in which
154 you installed the cross-toolchain.
155 For example, the host option for an ARM-based target that
156 uses the GNU EABI is
157 <filename>armv5te-poky-linux-gnueabi</filename>.
158 You will notice that the name of the script is
159 <filename>environment-setup-armv5te-poky-linux-gnueabi</filename>.
160 Thus, the following command works to update your project
161 and rebuild it using the appropriate cross-toolchain tools:
162 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
163 $ ./configure --host=armv5te-poky-linux-gnueabi --with-libtool-sysroot=<replaceable>sysroot_dir</replaceable>

172 $ make install DESTDIR=./tmp

243 Specifically setting matching variables in the
244 <filename>Makefile</filename> during the build results in
245 the environment settings of the variables being
246 overwritten.
247 In this case, the variables you set in the
248 <filename>Makefile</filename> are used.

257 In this case, the command-line content is used.
258 </para></listitem>
259 </itemizedlist>
260 <note>
261 Regardless of how you set your variables, if you use
262 the "-e" option with <filename>make</filename>, the

272 that demonstrates these variable behaviors.

274
275 <para>
276 In a new shell environment variables are not established for the
277 SDK until you run the setup script.
278 For example, the following commands show a null value for the
279 compiler variable (i.e.
280 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-CC'><filename>CC</filename></ulink>).

290 shows the value established through the script:

353 <emphasis>Source the Cross-Toolchain Environment Setup File:</emphasis>
354 As described earlier in the manual, installing the
355 cross-toolchain creates a cross-toolchain environment setup
356 script in the directory that the SDK was installed.
357 Before you can use the tools to develop your project,
358 you must source this setup script.
359 The script begins with the string "environment-setup"
360 and contains the machine architecture, which is
361 followed by the string "poky-linux".
362 For this example, the command sources a script from the
363 default SDK installation directory that uses the
364 32-bit Intel x86 Architecture and the
365 &DISTRO_NAME; Yocto Project release:
366 <literallayout class='monospaced'>

371 <emphasis>Create the <filename>Makefile</filename>:</emphasis>
372 For this example, the Makefile contains two lines that
373 can be used to set the <filename>CC</filename> variable.
374 One line is identical to the value that is set when you
375 run the SDK environment setup script, and the other line
376 sets <filename>CC</filename> to "gcc", the default GNU
377 compiler on the build host:
378 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
379 # CC=i586-poky-linux-gcc -m32 -march=i586 --sysroot=/opt/poky/2.5/sysroots/i586-poky-linux

393 <emphasis>Make the Project:</emphasis>
394 Use the <filename>make</filename> command to create the
395 binary output file.
396 Because variables are commented out in the Makefile,
397 the value used for <filename>CC</filename> is the value
398 set when the SDK environment setup file was run:
399 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
400 $ make
401 i586-poky-linux-gcc -m32 -march=i586 --sysroot=/opt/poky/2.5/sysroots/i586-poky-linux -I . -c main.c
402 i586-poky-linux-gcc -m32 -march=i586 --sysroot=/opt/poky/2.5/sysroots/i586-poky-linux -I . -c module.c
403 i586-poky-linux-gcc -m32 -march=i586 --sysroot=/opt/poky/2.5/sysroots/i586-poky-linux main.o module.o -o target_bin
404 </literallayout>
405 From the results of the previous command, you can see that
406 the compiler used was the compiler established through
407 the <filename>CC</filename> variable defined in the
408 setup script.</para>
409
410 <para>You can override the <filename>CC</filename>
411 environment variable with the same variable as set from
412 the Makefile by uncommenting the line in the Makefile
413 and running <filename>make</filename> again.
414 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
415 $ make clean
416 rm -rf *.o

421 $ make
422 gcc -I . -c main.c
423 gcc -I . -c module.c
424 gcc main.o module.o -o target_bin
425 </literallayout>
426 As shown in the previous example, the cross-toolchain
427 compiler is not used.
428 Rather, the default compiler is used.</para>
429
430 <para>This next case shows how to override a variable
431 by providing the variable as part of the command line.
432 Go into the Makefile and re-insert the comment character
433 so that running <filename>make</filename> uses
434 the established SDK compiler.
435 However, when you run <filename>make</filename>, use a
436 command-line argument to set <filename>CC</filename>
437 to "gcc":
438 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
439 $ make clean
440 rm -rf *.o
441 rm target_bin

453 gcc -I . -c main.c
454 gcc -I . -c module.c
455 gcc main.o module.o -o target_bin
456 </literallayout>
457 In the previous case, the command-line argument overrides
458 the SDK environment variable.</para>
459
460 <para>In this last case, edit Makefile again to use the
461 "gcc" compiler but then use the "-e" option on the

487 <emphasis>Execute Your Project:</emphasis>
488 To execute the project (i.e.
489 <filename>target_bin</filename>), use the following
490 command:
491 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
492 $ ./target_bin
493 Hello World!
494 </literallayout>
495 <note>
496 If you used the cross-toolchain compiler to build
497 <filename>target_bin</filename> and your build host
498 differs in architecture from that of the target
499 machine, you need to run your project on the target
500 device.
501 </note>
502 As expected, the project displays the "Hello World!"
503 message.
