+ <title>Locating Pre-Built SDK Installers</title>
+
+ <para>
+ You can use existing, pre-built toolchains by locating and running
+ an SDK installer script that ships with the Yocto Project.
+ Using this method, you select and download an architecture-specific
+ SDK installer and then run the script to hand-install the
+ toolchain.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Follow these steps to locate and hand-install the toolchain:

+ <filename>x86_64</filename> for 64-bit machines).

+ <listitem><para>
+ <emphasis>Locate and Download the SDK Installer:</emphasis>
+ You need to find and download the installer appropriate for

+ By default, the previous BitBake command does not
