OpenEmbedded/Yocto layer for external toolchain support
Dependencies
- openembedded-core layer, with a matching branch (i.e. master of oe-core and master of meta-external-toolchain).
- bitbake, with a matching branch.
- An installed toolchain or OE/Yocto SDK
- An existing build directory configured for this bitbake and openembedded-core.
Usage & Instructions
- Cd to an existing build directory.
bitbake-layers add-layer /path/to/meta-external-toolchain.- Set
EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN = "/path/to/your/external-toolchain-install"inconf/local.conf.
If using a Yocto/OpenEmbedded SDK as an external toolchain
- Set
TCMODE = "external-oe-sdk"inconf/local.conf.
If using a different external toolchain
A non-OE/Yocto external toolchain may well require additional tweaks, we would
advise creating a custom tcmode based upon the external one, much as we do for
external-oe-sdk in this layer.
- Set
TCMODE = "external"inconf/local.conf
Behavior
The tcmode performs a number of operations:
- Sets
TARGET_PREFIXappropriately, after determining what prefix is in use by the toolchain - Sanity checks
EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN: does the path exist? does the expected sysroot exist? - Sets preferences so that external recipes are used in preference to building them from source, including cross recipes which link/wrap the toolchain cross binaries
