<title>Using the Standard SDK</title>

<para>
    This chapter describes the standard SDK and how to use it.
    Information covers the pieces of the SDK, how to install it, and presents
    several task-based procedures common for developing with a standard SDK.
    <note>
        The tasks you can perform using a standard SDK are also applicable
        when you are using an extensible SDK.
        For information on the differences when using an extensible SDK as
        compared to a standard SDK, see the
        "<link linkend='sdk-extensible'>Using the Extensible SDK</link>"
        chapter.
    </note>
</para>

<section id='sdk-standard-sdk-intro'>
    <title>Why use the Standard SDK and What is in It?</title>

    <para>
        The Standard SDK provides a cross-development toolchain and libraries
        tailored to the contents of a specific image.
        You would use the Standard SDK if you want a more traditional toolchain
        experience.
    </para>

    <para>
        The installed Standard SDK consists of several files and directories.
        Basically, it contains an SDK environment setup script, some
        configuration files, and host and target root filesystems to support
        usage.
        You can see the directory structure in the
        "<link linkend='sdk-installed-standard-sdk-directory-structure'>Installed Standard SDK Directory Structure</link>"
        section.
    </para>
</section>

<section id='sdk-installing-the-sdk'>
    <title>Installing the SDK</title>

    <para>
        The first thing you need to do is install the SDK on your host
        development machine by running the <filename>*.sh</filename>
        installation script.
    </para>

    <para>
        You can download a tarball installer, which includes the
        pre-built toolchain, the <filename>runqemu</filename>
        script, and support files from the appropriate directory under
        <ulink url='&YOCTO_TOOLCHAIN_DL_URL;'></ulink>.
        Toolchains are available for 32-bit and 64-bit x86 development
        systems from the <filename>i686</filename> and
        <filename>x86_64</filename> directories, respectively.
        The toolchains the Yocto Project provides are based off the
        <filename>core-image-sato</filename> image and contain
        libraries appropriate for developing against that image.
        Each type of development system supports five or more target
        architectures.
    </para>

    <para>
        The names of the tarball installer scripts are such that a
        string representing the host system appears first in the
        filename and then is immediately followed by a string
        representing the target architecture.
        <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     poky-glibc-<replaceable>host_system</replaceable>-<replaceable>image_type</replaceable>-<replaceable>arch</replaceable>-toolchain-<replaceable>release_version</replaceable>.sh

     Where:
         <replaceable>host_system</replaceable> is a string representing your development system:

                    i686 or x86_64.

         <replaceable>image_type</replaceable> is the image for which the SDK was built.

         <replaceable>arch</replaceable> is a string representing the tuned target architecture:

                    i586, x86_64, powerpc, mips, armv7a or armv5te

         <replaceable>release_version</replaceable> is a string representing the release number of the
                Yocto Project:

                    &DISTRO;, &DISTRO;+snapshot
        </literallayout>
        For example, the following toolchain installer is for a 64-bit
        development host system and a i586-tuned target architecture
        based off the SDK for <filename>core-image-sato</filename> and
        using the current &DISTRO; snapshot:
        <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     poky-glibc-x86_64-core-image-sato-i586-toolchain-&DISTRO;.sh
        </literallayout>
        <note>
            As an alternative to downloading an SDK, you can build the toolchain
            installer.
            For information on building the installer, see the
            "<link linkend='sdk-building-an-sdk-installer'>Building an SDK Installer</link>"
            section.
            Another helpful resource for building an installer is the
            <ulink url='https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/TipsAndTricks/RunningEclipseAgainstBuiltImage'>Cookbook guide to Making an Eclipse Debug Capable Image</ulink>
            wiki page.
            This wiki page focuses on development when using the Eclipse IDE.
        </note>
    </para>

    <para>
        The SDK and toolchains are self-contained and by default are installed
        into <filename>/opt/poky</filename>.
        However, when you run the SDK installer, you can choose an
        installation directory.
        <note>
            You must change the permissions on the toolchain
            installer script so that it is executable:
            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     $ chmod +x poky-glibc-x86_64-core-image-sato-i586-toolchain-&DISTRO;.sh
            </literallayout>
        </note>
    </para>

    <para>
        The following command shows how to run the installer given a
        toolchain tarball for a 64-bit x86 development host system and
        a 32-bit x86 target architecture.
        The example assumes the toolchain installer is located in
        <filename>~/Downloads/</filename>.
        <note>
            If you do not have write permissions for the directory
            into which you are installing the SDK, the installer
            notifies you and exits.
            Be sure you have write permissions in the directory and
            run the installer again.
        </note>

<section id='sdk-running-the-sdk-environment-setup-script'>
    <title>Running the SDK Environment Setup Script</title>

    <para>
        Once you have the SDK installed, you must run the SDK environment
        setup script before you can actually use it.
        This setup script resides in the directory you chose when you installed
        the SDK.
        For information on where this setup script can reside, see the
        "<link linkend='sdk-appendix-obtain'>Obtaining the SDK</link>"
        Appendix.
    </para>

    <para>
        Before running the script, be sure it is the one that matches the
        architecture for which you are developing.
        Environment setup scripts begin with the string
        "<filename>environment-setup</filename>" and include as part of their
        name the tuned target architecture.
        For example, the command to source a setup script for an IA-based
        target machine using i586 tuning and located in the default SDK
        installation directory is as follows:
        <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     $ source /opt/poky/&DISTRO;/environment-setup-i586-poky-linux
        </literallayout>
        When you run the setup script, many environment variables are
        defined:
        <literallayout class='monospaced'>

                    As described earlier in the manual, installing the
                    cross-toolchain creates a cross-toolchain
                    environment setup script in the directory that the SDK
                    was installed.
                    Before you can use the tools to develop your project,
                    you must source this setup script.
                    The script begins with the string "environment-setup" and
                    contains the machine architecture, which is followed by the
                    string "poky-linux".
                    Here is an example that sources a script from the
                    default SDK installation directory that uses the
                    32-bit Intel x86 Architecture and the

                    Running the command prints the architecture on which
                    the binary file can run.
                    This architecture should be the same architecture that
                    the installed cross-toolchain supports.

        <title>Passing Host Options</title>

        <para>
            For an Autotools-based project, you can use the cross-toolchain by just
            passing the appropriate host option to <filename>configure.sh</filename>.
            The host option you use is derived from the name of the environment setup
            script found in the directory in which you installed the cross-toolchain.
            For example, the host option for an ARM-based target that uses the GNU EABI
            is <filename>armv5te-poky-linux-gnueabi</filename>.
            You will notice that the name of the script is
            <filename>environment-setup-armv5te-poky-linux-gnueabi</filename>.
            Thus, the following command works to update your project and
            rebuild it using the appropriate cross-toolchain tools:
            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     $ ./configure --host=armv5te-poky-linux-gnueabi \
        --with-libtool-sysroot=<replaceable>sysroot_dir</replaceable>
            </literallayout>
            <note>
                If the <filename>configure</filename> script results in problems recognizing the
                <filename>--with-libtool-sysroot=</filename><replaceable>sysroot-dir</replaceable> option,
                regenerate the script to enable the support by doing the following and then
                run the script again:
                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     $ libtoolize --automake
     $ aclocal -I ${OECORE_TARGET_SYSROOT}/usr/share/aclocal \
        [-I <replaceable>dir_containing_your_project-specific_m4_macros</replaceable>]
     $ autoconf
     $ autoheader
     $ automake -a

    <title>Makefile-Based Projects</title>

    <para>
        For Makefile-based projects, the cross-toolchain environment variables
        established by running the cross-toolchain environment setup script
        are subject to general <filename>make</filename> rules.
    </para>

    <para>
        To illustrate this, consider the following four cross-toolchain
        environment variables:
        <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-CC'>CC</ulink>=i586-poky-linux-gcc -m32 -march=i586 --sysroot=/opt/poky/&DISTRO;/sysroots/i586-poky-linux

     <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-CXXFLAGS'>CXXFLAGS</ulink>=-O2 -pipe -g -feliminate-unused-debug-types
        </literallayout>
        Now, consider the following three cases:
        <itemizedlist>
            <listitem><para><emphasis>Case 1 - No Variables Set in the <filename>Makefile</filename>:</emphasis>
                Because these variables are not specifically set in the
                <filename>Makefile</filename>, the variables retain their
                values based on the environment.
                </para></listitem>
            <listitem><para><emphasis>Case 2 - Variables Set in the <filename>Makefile</filename>:</emphasis>
                Specifically setting variables in the
                <filename>Makefile</filename> during the build results in the
                environment settings of the variables being overwritten.
                </para></listitem>
            <listitem><para><emphasis>Case 3 - Variables Set when the <filename>Makefile</filename> is Executed from the Command Line:</emphasis>
                Executing the <filename>Makefile</filename> from the command
                line results in the variables being overwritten with
                command-line content regardless of what is being set in the
                <filename>Makefile</filename>.
                In this case, environment variables are not considered unless
                you use the "-e" flag during the build:
                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     $ make -e <replaceable>file</replaceable>
                </literallayout>
                If you use this flag, then the environment values of the
                variables override any variables specifically set in the
                <filename>Makefile</filename>.
                </para></listitem>
        </itemizedlist>

                    Configuring the Neon Eclipse Yocto Plug-in involves
                    setting the Cross Compiler options and the Target options.
                    The configurations you choose become the default settings
                    for all projects.
                    You do have opportunities to change them later when
                    you configure the project (see the following section).

                        Cross Compiler options enable Eclipse to use your specific
                        cross compiler toolchain.
                        To configure these options, you must select
                        the type of toolchain, point to the toolchain, specify
                        the sysroot location, and select the target
                        architecture.

                                            Select this type when you are using
                                            a stand-alone cross-toolchain.
                                            For example, suppose you are an
                                            application developer and do not
                                            need to build a target image.
                                            Instead, you just want to use an
                                            architecture-specific toolchain on
                                            an existing kernel and target root
                                            filesystem.
                                            In other words, you have downloaded
                                            and installed a pre-built toolchain
                                            for an existing image.

                You can create two types of projects:  Autotools-based, or
                Makefile-based.
                This section describes how to create Autotools-based projects
                from within the Eclipse IDE.
                For information on creating Makefile-based projects in a
                terminal window, see the
                "<link linkend='makefile-based-projects'>Makefile-Based Projects</link>"
                section.
                <note>
                    Do not use special characters in project names
                    (e.g. spaces, underscores, etc.).  Doing so can
                    cause configuration to fail.

                    When building "Yocto Project SDK Autotools" projects, the

                    the related include file is listed at the project navigator and
                    when the project is able to build.
                    For these cases only, it is recommended to add a new linked
                    folder to the appropriate sysroot.

                            The host on which you are running QEMU must have
                            the <filename>rpcbind</filename> utility running to be
                            able to make RPC calls on a server on that machine.
                            If QEMU does not invoke and you receive error messages
                            involving <filename>rpcbind</filename>, follow the
                            suggestions to get the service running.
                            As an example, on a new Ubuntu 16.04 LTS installation,
                            you must do the following in order to get QEMU to
                            launch:
                            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     $ sudo apt-get install rpcbind
                            </literallayout>
                            After installing <filename>rpcbind</filename>, you
                            need to edit the
                            <filename>/etc/init.d/rpcbind</filename> file to
                            include the following line:

     OPTIONS="-i -w"
                            </literallayout>
                            After modifying the file, you need to start the
                            service:
                            <literallayout class='monospaced'>

            <para>
                Once the QEMU emulator is running the image, you can deploy
                your application using the Eclipse IDE and then use
                the emulator to perform debugging.
                Follow these steps to deploy the application.
                <note>
                    Currently, Eclipse does not support SSH port forwarding.
                    Consequently, if you need to run or debug a remote
                    application using the host display, you must create a
                    tunneling connection from outside Eclipse and keep
                    that connection alive during your work.
                    For example, in a new terminal, run the following:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     $ ssh -XY <replaceable>user_name</replaceable>@<replaceable>remote_host_ip</replaceable>
                    </literallayout>
                    Using the above form, here is an example:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     $ ssh -XY root@192.168.7.2
                    </literallayout>
                    After running the command, add the command to be executed
                    in Eclipse's run configuration before the application
                    as follows:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     export DISPLAY=:10.0
                    </literallayout>
                    Be sure to not destroy the connection during your QEMU
                    session (i.e. do not
                    exit out of or close that shell).

                        However, if a previous QEMU session did not exit
                        cleanly, the IP address increments (e.g.

                        This location is where your application will be located

                        If you fail to browse to and specify an appropriate
                        location, QEMU will not understand what to remotely
                        launch.
                        Eclipse is helpful in that it auto fills your
                        application name for you assuming you browsed to a
                        directory.

            <para>
                As mentioned earlier in the manual, performance tools exist
                (Linuxtools) that enhance your development experience.
                These tools are aids in developing and debugging applications and
                images.
                You can run these tools from within the Eclipse IDE through the
                "Linuxtools" menu.
            </para>

            <para>
                For information on how to configure and use these tools, see
                <ulink url='http://www.eclipse.org/linuxtools/'>http://www.eclipse.org/linuxtools/</ulink>.
