Software-Development-Kit

If you want to do a stand-alone build of U-Boot or the Linux Kernel, than you will first need to generate a SDK, which will include the build-environment (cross-compiler etc.).

The SDK can be generated after building a Yocto-image. Please view NXP i.MX_Porting_Guide.pdf for details.

DISTRO=fsl-imx-fb MACHINE=<target-machine> bitbake core-image-minimal -c populate_sdk

This will generate a script-file at ./tmp/deploy/sdk.

To install unzip downloaded file and run script on host machine to build on. The default install location is in /opt, but can be placed anywhere on the host machine.
