716 | You might want to use an external toolchain as part of your | ||
717 | development. | ||
718 | If this is the case, the fundamental steps you need to accomplish | ||
719 | are as follows: | ||
720 | <itemizedlist> | ||
721 | <listitem><para> | ||
722 | Understand where the installed toolchain resides. | ||
723 | For cases where you need to build the external toolchain, you | ||
724 | would need to take separate steps to build and install the | ||
725 | toolchain. | ||
726 | </para></listitem> | ||
727 | <listitem><para> | ||
728 | Make sure you add the layer that contains the toolchain to | ||
729 | your <filename>bblayers.conf</filename> file through the | ||
730 | <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-BBLAYERS'><filename>BBLAYERS</filename></ulink> | ||
731 | variable. | ||

740 | A good example of an external toolchain used with the Yocto Project | ||
741 | is <trademark class='registered'>Mentor Graphics</trademark> | ||
742 | Sourcery G++ Toolchain. | ||
743 | You can see information on how to use that particular layer in the | ||
744 | <filename>README</filename> file at | ||
745 | <ulink url='http://github.com/MentorEmbedded/meta-sourcery/'></ulink>. | ||
746 | You can find further information by reading about the | ||
747 | <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-TCMODE'><filename>TCMODE</filename></ulink> | ||
748 | variable in the Yocto Project Reference Manual's variable glossary. | ||
