Cross-Development Toolchain Generation in Yocto Project (OE)

다음은 Yocto Project Reference Manual 4장의 일부 글이다. 기본적으로 Yocto Project (OE)에서는 cross toolchain을 직접 빌드하여 만든다. 다음은 Yocto Project (OE)를 이용하여 host에서 cross toolchain을 생성하는 단계이다.

 

 

gcc -> binutils-cross -> gcc-cross-initial -> linux-libc-headers -> glibc-initial -> glibc -> gcc-cross -> gcc-runtime

• gcc: The build host's GNU Compiler Collection (GCC).
• binutils-cross: The bare minimum binary utilities needed in order to run the gcc-cross-initial phase of the bootstrap operation.
• gcc-cross-initial: An early stage of the bootstrap process for creating the cross-compiler. This stage builds enough of the gcc-cross, the C library, and other pieces needed to finish building the final cross-compiler in later stages. This tool is a "native" package (i.e. it is designed to run on the build host).
• linux-libc-headers: Headers needed for the cross-compiler.
• glibc-initial: An initial version of the Embedded GLIBC needed to bootstrap glibc.
• gcc-cross: The final stage of the bootstrap process for the cross-compiler. This stage results in the actual cross-compiler that BitBake uses when it builds an image for a targeted device -> If you are replacing this cross compiler toolchain with a custom version, you must replace gcc-cross.
• gcc-runtime: Runtime libraries resulting from the toolchain bootstrapping process. This tool produces a binary that consists of the runtime libraries need for the targeted device.
