Running Freescale SDK 1.3 on Ubuntu 13.10:
==========================================
Since running SDK 1.3 on VirtualMachine with old Ubuntu installtion is too slow. I decided to run it directly on my host machine which has latest(at the time when I installed) Ubuntu version. I find some problems in compiling new BSPs on Ubuntu 13.10 and spent some time searching the Internet to find a quick solution. Therefore, I decided to write this short howto which will hopefully help someone someday!
Here is the step-by-step guide of running Freescale's SDK 1.3 to newer Ubuntu distributions.
1. You can copy the QorIQ-SDK-V1.3-20121114-yocto folder from previous Ubuntu installation directly to Ubuntu 13.10.
2. Install texinfo 4.13:
- If you have latest version of texinfo, remove it first.
- textinfo 4.13 can be installed as follows:
- wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-4.13a.tar.gz
- tar -zxf texinfo-4.13a.tar.gz
-./configure, make and make install. It will install texinfo bins in /usr/local/bin/
3. Patching gcc 4.6.2:
- copy the following patch in meta-fsl-ppc/recipes-devtools/gcc/files/

- You can save it in filename like gcc.compile-with-gcc-4_8-compiler.patch.
- add new gcc patch filename at the end of SRC_URI_fsl list in meta-fsl-ppc/recipes-devtools/gcc/gcc-fsl.inc
4. Configure new BSP from fsl-setup-poky.
5. Compile new BSP with bitbake fsl-image-minimal. DONE!
Any suggestions or comments are welcome!
