Description Tim Orling 2016-06-21 22:40:45 UTC

In 2.2, we have dropped the armv7a SDK (was meta-fsl-arm). This leaves a very popular core bsp (beaglebone) without a well-tuned SDK. We should consider adding a MACHINE=beaglebone bitbake core-image-sato -c populate_sdk task to nightly-arm and publish the result as a released SDK. This is related to CROPS and Eclipse support as well.

i686, x86_64 host or both?

Comment 2 brian avery 2016-06-21 23:41:49 UTC

typically we release both. Certainly x86_64.

Comment 3 Bill Randle 2016-06-24 15:09:43 UTC

Modified nightly-arm.conf config on the Autobuilder to build the cortex-A8-neon toolchains. The following artifacts are now built and published:
  poky-glibc-i686-core-image-sato-cortexa8hf-neon-toolchain-2.1+snapshot.sh
  poky-glibc-x86_64-core-image-minimal-cortexa8hf-neon-toolchain-ext-2.1+snapshot.sh
  poky-glibc-x86_64-core-image-sato-cortexa8hf-neon-toolchain-2.1+snapshot.sh

Patch submitted to mailing list.

Merge into master by Beth on 6/27/16.

Comment 5 Yi Zhao 2016-07-26 10:01:57 UTC

Verified with 2.2 M2 RC1 build

The SDK for cortexa8hf-neon is in http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/pub/releases/yocto-2.2_M2.rc1/toolchain/
