I just started using Yocto by Following How to test yocto for imx6 .
Now I'd like to build another project with the build-derived toolchain or the ADT installer toolchain.
I'd also like to use eclipse and the Yocto plugin.
So the first thing I tried was the ADT, it looked like it would be the easier method.
I followed the steps here: http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.3/adt-manual/adt-manual.html#adt-intro-sectionhttp://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.3/adt-manual/adt-manual.html#adt-intro-sectionhttp://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.3/adt-manual/adt-manual.html#adt-intro-section
In doing so I typed the commands bitbake adt-installer then the log showed that it had succeeded.
So I found the ADT installer tarball in /build/tmp/deploy/sdk
Extracted that to a folder in my ~/. then I ran the adt-installer script. I didn't change the configuration.
That installed files to /opt/poky/1.3/.
From there I should have been set to use the eclipse yocto plugin.
In order to set up Eclipse and the Yocto plugin I followed these directions: http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.3/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#adt-eclipsehttp://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.3/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#adt-eclipse
I went with Juno and I installed the pre-built yocto plugin (I thought it would be the safest).
After everything was installed, and two restarts later... I went into window -> preferences -> Yocto Project ADT
This window let me set where my toolchain was being pulled from.
I entered /opt/poky/1.3/ into both the toolchain root and the sysroot.
In the drop down I'm suppose to select my toolchain.
Here is where I found out I should have changed the adt install scripts configuration.
It only showed that I could select either ARMv5te or i586.
Obviously I screwed up. But I should be able to build using this toolchain. So I started a new project as the directions state.
I build the project and it gives me this output:
Okay so I messed up the ADT install. Turns out the configuration built for the wrong platform.
So then I tried to redirect eclipse to use my build derived toolchain.
So I entered in bitbake: bitbake meta-ide-support
It completed successfully and I saw a sysroot folder and an environment-setup file be placed in the /build/tmp directory.
So I go back into the eclipse and I I reconfigure it for a build derived toolchain.
But nothing appears in the toolchain drop down.
If I try to hit ok, even though my target arch is greyed out I get this.
Here is the weird part, if I select standalone pre-built I get a toolchain in the drop down.
However, I can't select apply or ok.
That said, I'm not sure what else I can do to get the Yocto plug in to work.
I then tried to just to use the environment-setup file now located in the /build/tmp directory to build a Makefile based project - Uboot.
It failed by saying that the project was not setup. (Most likely this error is from my inexperience with compling uboot)
Any help or advice would be well received. Thanks!
I couldn't share it without you having to follow me.
