    <title>Using the Standard SDK</title>

    <para>
        This chapter describes the standard SDK and how to install it.
        Information includes unique installation and setup aspects for the
        standard SDK.
        <note>
            For a side-by-side comparison of main features supported for a
            standard SDK as compared to an extensible SDK, see the
            "<link linkend='sdk-manual-intro'>Introduction</link>"
            section.
        </note>
    </para>

    <para>
        You can use a standard SDK to work on Makefile, Autotools, and
        Eclipse-based projects.
        See the
        "<link linkend='sdk-working-projects'>Working with Different Types of Projects</link>"
        chapter for more information.

        <title>Why use the Standard SDK and What is in It?</title>

        <para>
            The Standard SDK provides a cross-development toolchain and
            libraries tailored to the contents of a specific image.
            You would use the Standard SDK if you want a more traditional
            toolchain experience as compared to the extensible SDK, which
            provides an internal build system and the
            <filename>devtool</filename> functionality.
        </para>

        <para>
            The installed Standard SDK consists of several files and
            directories.
            Basically, it contains an SDK environment setup script, some
            configuration files, and host and target root filesystems to
            support usage.
            You can see the directory structure in the
            "<link linkend='sdk-installed-standard-sdk-directory-structure'>Installed Standard SDK Directory Structure</link>"
            section.
        </para>
    </section>

    <section id='sdk-installing-the-sdk'>
        <title>Installing the SDK</title>

        <para>
            The first thing you need to do is install the SDK on your host
            development machine by running the <filename>*.sh</filename>
            installation script.
        </para>

        <para>
            You can download a tarball installer, which includes the
            pre-built toolchain, the <filename>runqemu</filename>
            script, and support files from the appropriate directory under
            <ulink url='&YOCTO_TOOLCHAIN_DL_URL;'></ulink>.
            Toolchains are available for 32-bit and 64-bit x86 development
            systems from the <filename>i686</filename> and
            <filename>x86_64</filename> directories, respectively.
            The toolchains the Yocto Project provides are based off the
            <filename>core-image-sato</filename> image and contain
            libraries appropriate for developing against that image.
            Each type of development system supports five or more target
            architectures.
        </para>

        <para>
            The names of the tarball installer scripts are such that a
            string representing the host system appears first in the
            filename and then is immediately followed by a string
            representing the target architecture.
            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     poky-glibc-<replaceable>host_system</replaceable>-<replaceable>image_type</replaceable>-<replaceable>arch</replaceable>-toolchain-<replaceable>release_version</replaceable>.sh

     Where:
         <replaceable>host_system</replaceable> is a string representing your development system:

                    i686 or x86_64.

         <replaceable>image_type</replaceable> is the image for which the SDK was built.

         <replaceable>arch</replaceable> is a string representing the tuned target architecture:

                    i586, x86_64, powerpc, mips, armv7a or armv5te

         <replaceable>release_version</replaceable> is a string representing the release number of the
                Yocto Project:

                    &DISTRO;, &DISTRO;+snapshot
            </literallayout>
            For example, the following SDK installer is for a 64-bit
            development host system and a i586-tuned target architecture
            based off the SDK for <filename>core-image-sato</filename> and
            using the current &DISTRO; snapshot:
            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     poky-glibc-x86_64-core-image-sato-i586-toolchain-&DISTRO;.sh
            </literallayout>
            <note>
                As an alternative to downloading an SDK, you can build the
                SDK installer.
                For information on building the installer, see the
                "<link linkend='sdk-building-an-sdk-installer'>Building an SDK Installer</link>"
                section.
                Another helpful resource for building an installer is the
                <ulink url='https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/TipsAndTricks/RunningEclipseAgainstBuiltImage'>Cookbook guide to Making an Eclipse Debug Capable Image</ulink>
                wiki page.
                This wiki page focuses on development when using the Eclipse
                IDE.
            </note>
        </para>

        <para>
            The SDK and toolchains are self-contained and by default are
            installed into <filename>/opt/poky</filename>.
            However, when you run the SDK installer, you can choose an
            installation directory.
            <note>
                You must change the permissions on the SDK
                installer script so that it is executable:
                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     $ chmod +x poky-glibc-x86_64-core-image-sato-i586-toolchain-&DISTRO;.sh
                </literallayout>
            </note>
        </para>

        <para>
            The following command shows how to run the installer given a
            toolchain tarball for a 64-bit x86 development host system and
            a 32-bit x86 target architecture.
            The example assumes the SDK installer is located in
            <filename>~/Downloads/</filename>.
            <note>
                If you do not have write permissions for the directory
                into which you are installing the SDK, the installer
                notifies you and exits.
                Be sure you have write permissions in the directory and
                run the installer again.
            </note>
            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     $ ./poky-glibc-x86_64-core-image-sato-i586-toolchain-&DISTRO;.sh
     Poky (Yocto Project Reference Distro) SDK installer version &DISTRO;

     SDK has been successfully set up and is ready to be used.
     Each time you wish to use the SDK in a new shell session, you need to source the environment setup script e.g.

    <section id='sdk-running-the-sdk-environment-setup-script'>
        <title>Running the SDK Environment Setup Script</title>

        <para>
            Once you have the SDK installed, you must run the SDK environment
            setup script before you can actually use it.
            This setup script resides in the directory you chose when you
            installed the SDK.
            For information on where this setup script can reside, see the
            "<link linkend='sdk-appendix-obtain'>Obtaining the SDK</link>"
            Appendix.
        </para>

        <para>
            Before running the script, be sure it is the one that matches the
            architecture for which you are developing.
            Environment setup scripts begin with the string
            "<filename>environment-setup</filename>" and include as part of
            their name the tuned target architecture.
            For example, the command to source a setup script for an IA-based
            target machine using i586 tuning and located in the default SDK
            installation directory is as follows:
            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     $ source /opt/poky/&DISTRO;/environment-setup-i586-poky-linux
            </literallayout>
            When you run the setup script, the same environment variables are
            defined as are when you run the setup script for an extensible SDK.
            See the
            "<link linkend='sdk-running-the-extensible-sdk-environment-setup-script'>Running the Extensible SDK Environment Setup Script</link>"
            section for more information.
