I am trying to build the meta-fsl-bsp-release using a specific toolchain
I have installed (but not configured) crosstool-ng
I have 2 questions:
1) what do I configure ct-ng to be ?
arm-cortex_a8-linux-gnueabi
arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi
The built in cross compiler looks like cortexa9hf-vfp-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi
2) How do I tell Yocto to use my toolchain ?
Thanks
John
Hello John Laughton,
You didn’t mention which processor you are using and I haven’t personally tested it but I would go with arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi unless you are indeed seeking to build a toolchain for a CortexA8. The BSP supports the i.MX6 which is a CortexA9 processor and hence cortexa9hf-vfp-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi is used.
As for how to force Yocto to use an external toolchain, please see section 3.5 of the Yocto Project Application Developer’s Guide (link below)
I hope this information helps!
