Installing the toolchain

This sections describes the toochain installation procedure. For steps required to generate the toolchain, please refer to Generating the SDK. The toolchain installer will be in tmp/deploy/sdk in the build directory.

Once the toolchain installer has been generated, please use the following method to install the toolchain based on the SDKMACHINE type used.

    $cd $HOME/yocto/gateway/tmp/deploy/sdk
    $chmod 755 poky-eglibc-i686-arm-toolchain-1.3.sh
    $sudo ./poky-eglibc-i686-arm-toolchain-1.3.sh


NOTE: Dependent on the SDKMACHINE type used when generating the toolchain, the installer will be poky-eglibc-i686-arm-toolchain-1.3.sh (for i686) or poky-eglibc-x86_64-arm-toolchain-1.3.sh (for x86_64). In the above example, the toolchain installer is for an i686 (32bit) based host machine, further note that Eurotech rename the toolchains from *.sh to *.bin before copying them to the download site, consequently if working with the pre-prepared SDKs use "sudo bash" ie. $sudo bash poky-eglibc-i686-arm-toolchain-1.3.bin


The SDK should be installed to: 

    /opt/poky/1.3/

Pre-built toolchains for 32 bit and 64 bit machines are already available. Please refer to the SDK components section for download links.
