<section id='sdk-locating-pre-built-sdk-installers'>
<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
toolchain 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 toolchain 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 in
<ulink url='&YOCTO_TOOLCHAIN_DL_URL;'></ulink>.
</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</para>
</section>
<section id='sdk-building-an-sdk-installer'>
<title>Building an SDK Installer</title>
<para>
As an alternative to locating and downloading a toolchain installer,
you can build the toolchain 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 toolchain 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 toolchain installer that contains the sysroot
that matches your target root filesystem.
</para>
<para>
When the <filename>bitbake</filename> command completes, the toolchain
installer will be in
<filename>tmp/deploy/sdk</filename> in the Build Directory.
<note>
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 image has the appropriate static
development libraries.
Use the
<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-IMAGE_INSTALL'><filename>IMAGE_INSTALL</filename></ulink>
variable inside your <filename>local.conf</filename> file to
install the appropriate library packages.
Following is an example using <filename>glibc</filename> static
development libraries:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " glibc-staticdev"
</literallayout>
</note>
</para>
</section>
<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;+snapshot</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>
<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 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 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>).
