SPDX-License-Identifier: CC-BY-SA-2.0-UK - -***************************************** -The Application Development Toolkit (ADT) -***************************************** - -Part of the Yocto Project development solution is an Application -Development Toolkit (ADT). The ADT provides you with a custom-built, -cross-development platform suited for developing a user-targeted product -application. - -Fundamentally, the ADT consists of the following: - -- An architecture-specific cross-toolchain and matching sysroot both - built by the :term:`OpenEmbedded Build System`. - The toolchain and - sysroot are based on a `Metadata <&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#metadata>`__ - configuration and extensions, which allows you to cross-develop on - the host machine for the target hardware. - -- The Eclipse IDE Yocto Plug-in. - -- The Quick EMUlator (QEMU), which lets you simulate target hardware. - -- Various user-space tools that greatly enhance your application - development experience. - -The Cross-Development Toolchain -=============================== - -The `Cross-Development -Toolchain <&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#cross-development-toolchain>`__ consists -of a cross-compiler, cross-linker, and cross-debugger that are used to -develop user-space applications for targeted hardware. This toolchain is -created either by running the ADT Installer script, a toolchain -installer script, or through a :term:`Build Directory` -that is based on -your Metadata configuration or extension for your targeted device. The -cross-toolchain works with a matching target sysroot. - -Sysroot -======= - -The matching target sysroot contains needed headers and libraries for -generating binaries that run on the target architecture. The sysroot is -based on the target root filesystem image that is built by the -OpenEmbedded build system and uses the same Metadata configuration used -to build the cross-toolchain. - -.. _eclipse-overview: - -Eclipse Yocto Plug-in -===================== - -The Eclipse IDE is a popular development environment and it fully -supports development using the Yocto Project. When you install and -configure the Eclipse Yocto Project Plug-in into the Eclipse IDE, you -maximize your Yocto Project experience. Installing and configuring the -Plug-in results in an environment that has extensions specifically -designed to let you more easily develop software. These extensions allow -for cross-compilation, deployment, and execution of your output into a -QEMU emulation session. You can also perform cross-debugging and -profiling. The environment also supports a suite of tools that allows -you to perform remote profiling, tracing, collection of power data, -collection of latency data, and collection of performance data. - -For information about the application development workflow that uses the -Eclipse IDE and for a detailed example of how to install and configure -the Eclipse Yocto Project Plug-in, see the "`Working Within -Eclipse <&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#adt-eclipse>`__" section of the Yocto -Project Development Manual. - -The QEMU Emulator -================= - -The QEMU emulator allows you to simulate your hardware while running -your application or image. QEMU is made available a number of ways: - -- If you use the ADT Installer script to install ADT, you can specify - whether or not to install QEMU. - -- If you have cloned the ``poky`` Git repository to create a - :term:`Source Directory` and you have - sourced the environment setup script, QEMU is installed and - automatically available. - -- If you have downloaded a Yocto Project release and unpacked it to - create a :term:`Source Directory` - and you have sourced the environment setup script, QEMU is installed - and automatically available. - -- If you have installed the cross-toolchain tarball and you have - sourced the toolchain's setup environment script, QEMU is also - installed and automatically available. - -User-Space Tools -================ - -User-space tools are included as part of the Yocto Project. You will -find these tools helpful during development. The tools include -LatencyTOP, PowerTOP, OProfile, Perf, SystemTap, and Lttng-ust. These -tools are common development tools for the Linux platform. - -- *LatencyTOP:* LatencyTOP focuses on latency that causes skips in - audio, stutters in your desktop experience, or situations that - overload your server even when you have plenty of CPU power left. - -- *PowerTOP:* Helps you determine what software is using the most - power. You can find out more about PowerTOP at - https://01.org/powertop/. - -- *OProfile:* A system-wide profiler for Linux systems that is capable - of profiling all running code at low overhead. You can find out more - about OProfile at http://oprofile.sourceforge.net/about/. For - examples on how to setup and use this tool, see the - "`OProfile <&YOCTO_DOCS_PROF_URL;#profile-manual-oprofile>`__" - section in the Yocto Project Profiling and Tracing Manual. - -- *Perf:* Performance counters for Linux used to keep track of certain - types of hardware and software events. For more information on these - types of counters see https://perf.wiki.kernel.org/. For - examples on how to setup and use this tool, see the - "`perf <&YOCTO_DOCS_PROF_URL;#profile-manual-perf>`__" section in the - Yocto Project Profiling and Tracing Manual. - -- *SystemTap:* A free software infrastructure that simplifies - information gathering about a running Linux system. This information - helps you diagnose performance or functional problems. SystemTap is - not available as a user-space tool through the Eclipse IDE Yocto - Plug-in. See http://sourceware.org/systemtap for more - information on SystemTap. For examples on how to setup and use this - tool, see the - "`SystemTap <&YOCTO_DOCS_PROF_URL;#profile-manual-systemtap>`__" - section in the Yocto Project Profiling and Tracing Manual. - -- *Lttng-ust:* A User-space Tracer designed to provide detailed - information on user-space activity. See http://lttng.org/ust - for more information on Lttng-ust. |
