* python support is needed for providing finer scripting control in gdb, and for remote controling gdb for example from qtcreator * gdb/configure tries to autodetect python using python executable with --includes --ldflags --exec-prefix to get the right flags As it's difficult to achieve in OE's context, we generate a script which will return the right values and make gdb's build system happy. This idea was taken from the following article : http://www.mentby.com/doug-evans-2/python-enabled-gdb-on-windows-and-relocation.html * tested using angstrom & armv7 target & qtcreator 201005 & 2.4.0 * MJ: updated paths to python as disscussed here http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2012-February/018222.html now it's easier with cross-canadian staging dir and SDKPATH fixed :) (From OE-Core rev: 73a90b88541c373aa5b83a939dd3b5f1fe05b9b8) Signed-off-by: Eric Bénard <eric@eukrea.com> Cc: fcooper@ti.com Signed-off-by: Martin Jansa <Martin.Jansa@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
Poky
Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged build system and development environment. It features support for building customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at: http://yoctoproject.org/community/documentation
OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with DISTRO = "") and contains only emulated machine support.
