- <title>Locating Pre-Built SDK Installers</title>
-
- <para>
- You can use existing, pre-built toolchains by locating and running
- an SDK installer script that ships with the Yocto Project.
- Using this method, you select and download an architecture-specific
- SDK installer and then run the script to hand-install the
- toolchain.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- Follow these steps to locate and hand-install the toolchain:
- <orderedlist>
- <listitem><para>
- <emphasis>Go to the Installers Directory:</emphasis>

- <emphasis>Open the Folder for Your Build Host:</emphasis>
- Open the folder that matches your
- <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#build-system-term'>build host</ulink>
- (i.e. <filename>i686</filename> for 32-bit machines or
- <filename>x86_64</filename> for 64-bit machines).
- </para></listitem>
- <listitem><para>
- <emphasis>Locate and Download the SDK Installer:</emphasis>
- You need to find and download the installer appropriate for
- your build host, target hardware, and image type.
- </para>
-
- <para>The installer files (<filename>*.sh</filename>) follow
- this naming convention:
- <literallayout class='monospaced'>
- poky-glibc-<replaceable>host_system</replaceable>-core-image-<replaceable>type</replaceable>-<replaceable>arch</replaceable>-toolchain[-ext]-<replaceable>release</replaceable>.sh
-
- Where:
- <replaceable>host_system</replaceable> is a string representing your development system:
- "i686" or "x86_64"
-
- <replaceable>type</replaceable> is a string representing the image:
- "sato" or "minimal"
-
- <replaceable>arch</replaceable> is a string representing the target architecture:
- "aarch64", "armv5e", "core2-64", "coretexa8hf-neon", "i586", "mips32r2",
- "mips64", or "ppc7400"
-
- <replaceable>release</replaceable> is the version of Yocto Project.
-
- NOTE:
- The standard SDK installer does not have the "-ext" string as
- part of the filename.
-
- </literallayout>
- The toolchains provided by the Yocto Project are based off of
- the <filename>core-image-sato</filename> and
- <filename>core-image-minimal</filename> images and contain
- libraries appropriate for developing against those images.
- </para>
-
- <para>For example, if your build host is a 64-bit x86 system
- and you need an extended SDK for a 64-bit core2 target, go

- <emphasis>Build the SDK Installer:</emphasis>
- To build the SDK installer for a standard SDK and populate

- an image (e.g. "core-image-sato"):
- <literallayout class='monospaced'>
- $ bitbake <replaceable>image</replaceable> -c populate_sdk

- You can do the same for the extensible SDK using this command
- form:
- <literallayout class='monospaced'>
- $ bitbake <replaceable>image</replaceable> -c populate_sdk_ext
- </literallayout>
- These commands produce an SDK installer that contains the
- sysroot that matches your target root filesystem.</para>

- <note><title>Notes</title>
- <itemizedlist>
- <listitem><para>
- By default, the previous BitBake command does not
- build static binaries.
- If you want to use the toolchain to build these
- types of libraries, you need to be sure your SDK
- has the appropriate static development libraries.
- Use the
- <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-TOOLCHAIN_TARGET_TASK'><filename>TOOLCHAIN_TARGET_TASK</filename></ulink>
- variable inside your <filename>local.conf</filename>
- file before building the SDK installer.
- Doing so ensures that the eventual SDK installation
- process installs the appropriate library packages
- as part of the SDK.

- <filename>libc</filename> static development
- libraries:
- <literallayout class='monospaced'>

- Within the figure, italicized text is used to indicate replaceable
