1. Embedded Linux Development Kit The Embedded Linux Development Kit (ELDK) includes the GNU cross development tools, such as the compilers, binutils, gdb, etc., and a number of pre-built target tools and libraries necessary to provide some functionality on the target system.
It is provided for free with full source code, including all patches, extensions, programs and scripts used to build the tools.
Packaging and installation is based on the RPM package manager.
1.1. ELDK Availability The ELDK is available
on CD-ROM from DENX Computer Systems for download on the following servers:
FTP HTTP mirror.switch.ch/mirror/eldk/eldk/ mirror.switch.ch/ftp/m...eldk/eldk/ sunsite.utk.edu/pub/linux/eldk/ sunsite.utk.edu/ftp/pub/linux/eldk/ ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux...ions/eldk/ ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux...ions/eldk/ ftp.leo.org/pub/eldk/ archiv.leo.org/pub/com...inux/eldk/
1.2. Supported Host Systems The ELDK can be installed onto and operate with the following operating systems:
Fedora Core 1, 2, 3
Red Hat Linux 7.3, 8.0, 9
SuSE Linux 8.x, 9.0, 9.1, 9.2
Debian 3.0 (Woody) and testing (Sarge)
Ubuntu 4.10
FreeBSD 5.0
Users also reported successful installation and use of the ELDK on the following host systems:
Suse Linux 7.2, 7.3
Mandrake 8.2
Slackware 8.1beta2
Gentoo Linux 1.4_rc2
Note: It may be necessary, and is usually recommended, to install the latest available software updates on your host system. For example, on Red Hat or Fedora Core systems, you can use one of up2date or yum to keep your systems current.
1.3. Supported Target Architectures The ELDK for ARM systems supports processors complying with the ARM architecture version 2 to 5. This includes ARM7, ARM9, XScale, AT91RM9200 and other ARM based systems.
There is also an ELDK for PowerPC and MIPS systems.
1.4. Installation 1.4.1. Product Packaging Stable versions of the ELDK are distributed in the form of an ISO image, which can be either burned onto a CD or mounted directly, using the loopback Linux device driver (Linux host only).
Development versions of the ELDK are available as directory trees so it is easy to update individual packages; instructions for download of these trees and creation of ISO images from it is described in section 1.4.2. Downloading the ELDK.
The ELDK contains an installation utility and a number of RPM packages, which are installed onto the hard disk of the cross development host by the installation procedure. The RPM packages can be logically divided into two parts:
Embedded Linux Development Tools (ELDT)
Target components
The first part contains the cross development tools that are executed on the host system. Most notably, these are the GNU cross compiler, binutils, and gdb. For a full list of the provided ELDT packages, refer to section 1.8.1. List of ELDT Packages below.
The target components are pre-built tools and libraries which are executed on the target system. The ELDK includes necessary target components to provide a minimal working NFS-based environment for the target system. For a list of the target packages included in the ELDK, refer to section 1.8.2. List of Target Packages below.
The ELDK contains several independent sets of the target packages, one for each supported target architecture CPU family. Each set has been built using compiler code generation and optimization options specific to the respective target CPU family.
1.4.2. Downloading the ELDK To download the ELDK from the development directory tree and create an ISO image that can be burned on CD-ROM, please proceed as follows:
Change to a directory with sufficient free disk space; for the ARM version of the ELDK you need about 250 MB, or twice as much (500 MB) if you also want to create an ISO image in this directory.
You can either download the ready-to-burn ISO-images from one of the mirror sites (see ELDK Availability), or you can - for example - use the ncftp FTP client to download the whole ELDK directory tree:
bash$ ncftp ftp.sunet.se ... ncftp / > cd /pub/Linux/distributions/eldk/3.1.1 ncftp /pub/Linux/distributions/eldk/3.1.1 > bin ncftp /pub/Linux/distributions/eldk/3.1.1 > get -R arm-linux-x86/distribution ... ncftp /pub/Linux/distributions/eldk/3.1.1 > bye
If you don't find the ncftp tool on your system you can download the NcFTP client from www.ncftp.com/download/
There are a few executable files (binaries and scripts) in the ELDK tree. Make sure they have the execute permissions set in your local copy:
bash$ for file in \
> tools/bin/rpm \
> tools/usr/lib/rpm/rpmd \
> install \
> ELDK_MAKEDEV \
> ELDK_FIXOWNER
> do
> chmod +x arm-linux-x86/distribution/$file
> done
Now create an ISO image from the directory tree:
bash$ mkisofs \
> -A "ELDK-3.1.1 -- Target: ARM -- Host: x86 Linux" \
> -P "(C) `date "+%Y"` DENX Software Engineering, www.denx.de" \
> -p "`id -nu`@`hostname` -- `date`" \
> -V eldk-arm-linux-x86 \
> -l -J -R -o eldk-arm-linux-x86.iso arm-linux-x86/distribution
This will create an ISO image eldk-arm-linux-x86.iso in your local directory that can be burned on CD or mounted using the loopback device and used for installation as described above. Of course you can use the local copy of the directory tree directly for the installation, too.
Please refer to section 1.9.2. Setting Up ELDK Build Environment for instructions on obtaining the build environment needed to re-build the ELDK from scratch.
1.4.3. Initial Installation The initial installation is performed using the install utility located in the root of the ELDK ISO image directory tree. The install utility has the following syntax:
$ ./install [-d <dir>] [<cpu_family1>] [<cpu_family2>] ...
-d <dir> Specifies the root directory of the ELDK being installed. If omitted, the ELDK goes into the current directory.
<cpu_family> Specifies the target CPU family the user desires to install. If one or more <cpu_family> parameters are specified, only the target components specific to the respective CPU families are installed onto the host. If omitted, the target components for all supported target architecture CPU families are installed.
Note: Make sure that the "exec" option to the mount command is in effect when mounting the ELDK ISO image. Otherwise the install program cannot be executed.
You can install the ELDK to any empty directory you wish, the only requirement being that you have to have write and execute permissions on the directory. The installation process does not require superuser privileges.
Depending on the parameters the install utility is invoked with, it installs one or more sets of target components. The ELDT packages are installed in any case.
Refer to section 1.5. Working with ELDK for a sample usage of the ELDK.
Note: If you intend to use the installation as a root filesystem exported over NFS, then you now have to finish the configuration of the ELDK following the instructions in 1.6. Mounting Target Components via NFS.
1.4.4. Installation and Removal of Individual Packages The ELDK has an RPM-based structure. This means that on the ISO image, individual components of the ELDK are in the form of RPM packages, and after installation, the ELDK maintains its own database which contains information about installed packages. The RPM database is kept local to the specific ELDK installation, which allows you to have multiple independent ELDK installations on your host system. (That is, you can install several instances of ELDK under different directories and work with them independently). Also, this provides for easy installation and management of individual ELDK packages.
To list the installed ELDK RPM packages, use the following command:
bash$ ${CROSS_COMPILE}rpm -qa
To remove an ELDK package, use the following command:
bash$ ${CROSS_COMPILE}rpm -e <package_name>
To install a package, use the following command:
bash$ ${CROSS_COMPILE}rpm -i <package_file_name>
To update a package, use the following command:
bash$ ${CROSS_COMPILE}rpm -U <package_file_name>
For the above commands to work correctly, it is crucial that the correct rpm binary gets invoked. In case of multiple ELDK installations and RedHat-based host system, there may well be several rpm tools installed on the host system.
You must make sure, either by using an explicit path or by having set an appropriate PATH environment variable, that when you invoke rpm to install/remove components of a ELDK installation, it is the ELDK's rpm utility that gets actually invoked. The rpm utility is located in the bin subdirectory relative to the ELDK root installation directory.
To avoid confusion with the host OS (RedHat) rpm utility, the ELDK creates symlinks to its rpm binary with the names such that it could be invoked using the ${CROSS_COMPILE}rpm notation, for all supported $CROSS_COMPILE values.
The standard (host OS) rpm utility allows various macros and configuration parameters to specified in user-specific ~/.rpmrc and ~/.rpmmacros files. The ELDK rpm tool also has this capability, but the names of the user-specific configuration files are ~/.eldk_rpmrc and ~/.eldk_rpmmacros, respectively.
1.4.5. Removal of the Entire Installation To remove the entire ELDK installation, use the following command while in the ELDK root directory:
bash$ rm -rf <dir>
where <dir> specifies the root directory of the ELDK to be removed.
1.5. Working with ELDK After the initial installation is complete, all you have to do to start working with the ELDK is to set and export the CROSS_COMPILE environment variable. Optionally, you may wish to add the bin and usr/bin directories of your ELDK installation to the value of your PATH environment variable. For instance, a sample ELDK installation and usage scenario looks as follows:
Create a new directory where the ELDK is to be installed, say:
bash$ mkdir /opt/eldk
Mount a CD or an ISO image with the distribution:
bash$ mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
Run the installation utility included on the distribution to install into that specified directory:
bash$ /mnt/cdrom/install -d /opt/eldk
After the installation utility completes, export the CROSS_COMPILE variable:
bash$ export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-
The trailing '-' character in the CROSS_COMPILE variable value is optional and has no effect on the cross tools behavior.
Add the directories /opt/eldk/usr/bin and /opt/eldk/bin to PATH: bash$ PATH=$PATH:/opt/eldk/usr/bin:/opt/eldk/bin Compile a file: bash$ ${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc -o hello_world hello_world.c You can also call the cross tools using the generic prefix arm-linux- for example: bash$ arm-linux-gcc -o hello_world hello_world.c
or, equivalently:
bash /opt/eldk/usr/arm-linux/bin/gcc -o hello_world hello_world.c
The value of the CROSS_COMPILE variable must correspond to the target CPU family you want the cross tools to work for. Refer to the table below for the supported CROSS_COMPILE variable values:
1.5.A Table of possible values for $CROSS_COMPILE CROSS_COMPILE Value Predefined Compiler Flag FPU present or not arm-linux- -mcpu=arm9 No
1.5.1. Switching Between Multiple Installations No special actions are required from the user to switch between multiple ELDK installations on the same host system. Which ELDK installation is used is determined entirely by the filesystem location of the binary that is being invoked. This approach can be illustrated using the following example.
Assume the directory /work/denx_tools/usr/bin, where the arm-linux-gcc compiler binary has been installed, is a part of the PATH environment variable. The user types the command as follows:
$ arm-linux-gcc -c myfile.c
To load the correct include files, find the correct libraries, spec files, etc., the compiler needs to know the ELDK root directory. The compiler determines this information by analyzing the shell command it was invoked with ( arm-linux-gcc - without specifying the explicit path in this example) and, if needed, the value of the PATH environment variable. Thus, the compiler knows that it has been executed from the /work/denx_tools/usr/bin directory.
Then, it knows that the compiler is installed in the usr/bin subdirectory of the root installation directory, so the ELDK the compiler is part of has been installed in the subdirectories of the /work/denx_tools directory. This means that the target include files are in /work/denx_tools/<target_cpu_variant>/usr/include, and so on.
1.6. Mounting Target Components via NFS The target components of the ELDK can be mounted via NFS as the root file system for your target machine. For instance, for an 8xx-based target, and assuming the ELDK has been intalled into the /opt/eldk directory, you can use the following directory as the NFS-based root file system:
/opt/eldk/arm
Before the NFS-mounted root file system can work, you must create necessary device nodes in the <ELDK_root>/<target_cpu_variant>/dev directory. This process require superuser privilege and thus could not have been done by the installation procedure. To facilitate creation of the device nodes, the ELDK provides a script named ELDK_MAKEDEV, which is located in the root of the ELDK distribution ISO image. To create the device nodes, you should invoke this script while in the appropriate dev subdirectory where the the device nodes are to be created. For instance, to create the device nodes for a ARM based system, use the following commands:
bash# cd /opt/eldk/arm/dev
bash# /mnt/cdrom/ELDK_MAKEDEV
Some of the target utilities included in the ELDK, such as mount and su, have the SUID bit set. This means that when run, they will have privileges of the file owner of these utilities. That is, normally, they will have the privileges of the user who installed the ELDK on the host system. However, for these utilities to work properly, it is required that they have the superuser privileges. This means that if the ELDK has been installed not by the superuser, the file owner of the target ELDK utilities that have the SUID bit set must be changed to root before a target component may be mounted as the root file system. The ELDK distribution image contains an ELDK_FIXOWNER script, which you can use to change file owners of all the appropriate files of the ELDK installation to root. You should invoke this script while in the root ELDK installation directory. Please note that you must have superuser privileges to run this script. For instance, if you have installed the ELDK in the /opt/eldk directory, you can use the following commands:
- cd /opt/eldk
- /mnt/cdrom/ELDK_FIXOWNER
1.7. Rebuilding ELDK Components
1.7.1. ELDK Source Distribution The ELDK is distributed with the full sources of all the components, so you may rebuild any ELDK package. The sources are provided in the form of SRPM packages, distributed as a separate ISO image.
To rebuild a target or ELDT package, you must first install the appropriate source RPM package from the ISO image into the ELDK environment. This can be done using the following command:
$ ${CROSS_COMPILE}rpm -i /mnt/cdrom/SRPMS/<source_rpm_file_name>.src.rpm
After an ELDK source RPM is installed using the above command, its spec file and sources can be found in the subdirectories of the <ELDK_root>/usr/src/denx subdirectory.
The sections that follow provide detailed instructions on rebuilding ELDT and target components of the ELDK.
1.7.2. Rebuilding Target Packages
All the target packages allow for rebuilding from the provided source RPM packages. At first you have to install the Source RPM itself:
bash$ ${CROSS_COMPILE}rpm -iv <package_name>.src.rpm
Then you can rebuild the binary target RPM using the following command from the ELDK environment:
bash$ ${CROSS_COMPILE}rpmbuild -ba <package_name>.spec
In order for the rebuilding process to work correctly, the following conditions must be true:
The $CROSS_COMPILE environment variable must be set as appropriate for the target CPU family.
The <ELDK_root>/usr/arm-linux/bin directory must be in PATH before the /usr/bin directory. This is to make sure that the command gcc results in the fact that the ELDK cross compiler is invoked, rather than the host gcc.
1.7.3. Rebuilding ELDT Packages All the ELDT packages allow for rebuilding from the provided source RPM packages using the following command from the ELDK environment:
$ unset CROSS_COMPILE
$ <ELDK_root>/usr/bin/rpmbuild -ba <package_name.spec>
In order for the rebuilding process to work correctly, make sure all of the following is true:
The $CROSS_COMPILE environment variable must NOT be set.
Do NOT use the $CROSS_COMPILE command prefix.
The <ELDK_root>/usr/arm-linux/bin directory must NOT be in PATH. This is to make sure that the command gcc causes invokation of the host gcc, rather than the ELDK cross compiler. 1.8. ELDK Packages

1.9. Rebuilding the ELDK from Scratch In this section, you will find instructions on how to build the ELDK from scratch, using the pristine package sources available on the Internet, and patches, spec files, and build scripts provided on the ELDK source CD-ROM.
1.9.1. ELDK Build Process Overview
The ELDK uses YellowDog 3.0 Linux distribution as a source code reference. Any modifications to YellowDog's sources the ELDK has introduced are in the form of patches applied by the RPM tool while building the packages. Also, the ELDK uses modified spec files for its RPM packages. So, the sources of almost every ELDK package consist of the following parts:
YellowDog pristine sources or
ELDK source tarball,
ELDK patches,
ELDK spec file.
The YellowDog pristine sources may be obtained from the Internet, see ftp.yellowdoglinux.com...os/SRPMS/.
The ELDK patches and spec files are available on the ELDK source CD-ROM and from the DENX anonymous CVS server. To access this CVS server please use the following command to log on:
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@www.denx.de:/cvsroot login When prompted for the "CVS password:" just press the return key (empty password). Please use the following commands to check out a copy of one of the modules:
cvs -z6 -d :pserver:anonymous@www.denx.de:/cvsroot co -rversion -P module The following ELDK modules are available: Module Name Contents eldk_tarballs Source tarballs eldk_build Build tools, patches, and spec files
Using the "-rversion" option makes sure you download exactly the files that belong to a specific release of the ELDK; for example, to get the files for ELDK release 3.0, please specify "-rELDK_3_0" .
It must be noted that some of the packages which are included in the ELDK are not included in YellowDog. Examples of such packages are busybox, microwindows, and wu-ftpd. For these packages tarballs are provided on the DENX anonymous CVS server.
To facilitate building of the ELDK, a build infrastructure has been developed. The infrastructure is composed of the following components:
ELDK_BUILD script
build.sh script
cpkgs.lst file
tpkgs.lst file
SRPMS.lst file
tarballs.lst file
The ELDK_BUILD script is the main script of the ELDK build procedure. It is the tool that you would normally use to build the ELDK from scratch. In the simplest case, the script may be invoked without arguments, and it will perform all necessary steps to build the ELDK in a fully automated way. You may pass two optional arguments to the ELDK_BUILD script:
-d <arch> target architecture: "ppc", "arm" or "mips", defaults to "ppc". -n <build_name> an identification string for the build. Defaults to the value based on the build architecture and current date, and has the following format: <arch>-YYYY-MM-DD
Warning: The ELDK build scripts rely on standard behaviour of the RPM tool. Make sure you don't use non-standard settings in your personal ~/.rpmmacros file that might cause conflicts.
build.sh is a supplementary script that is called by ELDK_BUILD to accomplish certain steps of the build. Refer to section 1.9.3. build.sh Usage below for more details.
The cpkgs.lst and tpkgs.lst files are read by build.sh and must contain lines describing sub-steps of the eldt and trg build procedure steps. Essentially, the files contain the list of the ELDT and target packages to be included in the ELDK. The SRPMS.lst file contains the list of the YellowDog source RPM packages used during the ELDK build. The tarballs.lst file contains the list of source tarballs of the packages that are included in the ELDK but are not present in YellowDog 3.0.
For the ELDK_BUILD script to work correctly, it must be invoked from a certain build environment created on the host system. The build environment can be either checked out from the DENX CVS (see section 1.9.2. Setting Up ELDK Build Environment below for details) or copied from the ELDK build environment CD-ROM.
To be more specific, the following diagram outlines the build environment needed for correct operation of the ELDK_BUILD script:
<some_directory>/
build/cross_rpms/<package_name>/SPECS/...
SOURCES/...
target_rpms/<package_name>/SPECS/...
SOURCES/...
install/install.c
Makefile
misc/ELDK_MAKEDEV
ELDK_FIXOWNER
README.html
cpkgs.lst
tpkgs.lst
build.sh
ELDK_BUILD
SRPMS.lst
tarballs.lst
tarballs/....
SRPMS/.... In subdirectories of the cross_rpms and target_rpms directories, the sources and RPM spec files of, respectively, the ELDT and target packages are stored. The install subdirectory contains the sources of the installation utility which will be built and placed in the root of the ISO image. tarballs directory contains the source tarballs of the packages that are included in the ELDK but are not present in YellowDog 3.0.
The SRPMS directory may contain the source RPM packages of YellowDog 3.0. If some (or all) of the YellowDog SRPMs needed for the build are missing in the directory, the ELDK_BUILD script will download the source RPMs automatically from the Internet.
The ELDK build environment CD-ROM provides a ready-to-use ELDK build environment. Please refer to section 1.9.2. Setting Up ELDK Build Environment below for detailed instructions on setting up the build environment.
The ELDK_BUILD script examines the contents of the ELDK_PREFIX environment variable to determine the root directory of the ELDK build environment. If the variable is not set when the script is invoked, it is assumed that the root directory of the ELDK build environment is /opt/eldk. To build the ELDK in the example directory layout given above, you must set and export the ELDK_PREFIX variable <some_directory> prior to invoking ELDK_BUILD.
After all the build steps are complete, the following subdirectories are created in the ELDK build environment:
build/<build_name>/work/ - full ELDK environment
build/<build_name>/logs/ - build procedure log files
build/<build_name>/results/b_cdrom/ - binary cdrom tree, ready for mkisofs
results/s_cdrom/ - source cdrom tree, ready for mkisofs
On Linux hosts, the binary and source ISO images are created automatically by the ELDK_BUILD script and placed in the results directory. On Solaris hosts, creating the ISO images is a manual step. Use the contents of the b_cdrom and s_cdrom directories for the contents of the ISO images.
1.9.2. Setting Up ELDK Build Environment
For your convenience, the ELDK build environment CD-ROM provides full ELDK build environment. All you need to do is copy the contents of the CD-ROM to an empty directory on your host system. Assuming the ELDK build environment CD-ROM is mounted at /mnt/cdrom, and the empty directory where you want to create the build environment is named /opt/eldk, use the following commands to create the build environment:
bash$ cd /opt/eldk
bash$ cp -r /mnt/cdrom/* .
These commands will create the directory structure as described in section 1.9.1. ELDK Build Process Overview above. All necessary scripts and ELDK specific source files will be placed in the build subdirectory, and the required tarballs can be found in the tarballs subdirectory. In the SRPMS subdirectory, you will find all the YellowDog 3.0 SRPMS needed to build the ELDK.
Alternatively, you can obtain the ELDK build environment from the DENX anonymous CVS server. Two modules are provided for check out: eldk_build and eldk_tarballs. The first one contains the files for the build subdirectory in the build environment, and the second one contains source tarballs of the packages that are included in the ELDK but are not present in YellowDog 3.0. To create the ELDK build environment from the DENX CVS server, use the following commands (the example below assumes that the root directory of the build environment is /opt/eldk):
bash$ cd /opt/eldk
bash$ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@www.denx.de:/cvsroot login
bash$ cvs -z6 -d :pserver:anonymous@www.denx.de:/cvsroot co -P eldk_build
bash$ cvs -z6 -d :pserver:anonymous@www.denx.de:/cvsroot co -P eldk_tarballs
After the eldk_build and eldk_tarballs modules have been checked out, the only remaining piece that is needed for the build is the YellowDog 3.0 source RPM packages, which will, if required, be automatically downloaded by the ELDK_BUILD script.
1.9.3. build.sh Usage
If you wish to perform only a part of the ELDK build procedure, for instance to re-build or update a certain package, it may sometimes be convenient to invoke the build.sh script manually, without the aid of the ELDK_BUILD script. Please note, however, that this approach is in general discouraged.
The whole build procedure is logically divided into six steps, and the build.sh must be told which of the build steps to perform. The build steps are defined as follows:
rpm - build RPM
eldt - build ELDT packages
seldt - save ELDT SRPM packages to create a source ISO image later on
trg - build target packages
biso - prepare binary ISO image
siso - prepare source ISO image
Further, the eldt and trg build steps are devided into sub-steps, as defined in the cpkgs.lst and tpckgs.lst
files (see below for details). You may specify which sub-steps of the build step are to be performed.
The formal syntax for the usage of build.sh is as follows:
bash$ ./build.sh [-a <arch>] [-n <name>] [-p <prefix>] [-r <result>] \
[-w <work>] <step_name> [<sub_step_number>]
-a <arch> target architecture: "ppc", "arm" or "mips", defaults to "ppc".
-n <build_name> an identification string for the build. It is used as a name for some directories created during the build. You may use for example the current date as the build name.
-p <prefix> is the name of the directory that contains the build environment. Refer to build overview above for description of the build environment.
-r <result> is the name of the directory where the resulting RPMs and SRPMs created on this step will be placed.
-w <work> is the name of the directory where the build is performed.
<stepname> is the name of the build step that is to be performed. Refer to the list of the build procedure steps above.
<sub_step_number> is an optional parameter which identifies sub-steps of the step which are to be performed. This is useful when you want to re-build only some specific packages. The numbers are defined in the cpkgs.lst and tpkgs.lst files discussed below. You can specify a range of numbers here. For instance, "2 5" means do steps from 2 to 5, while simply "2" means do all steps starting at 2.
Please note that you must never use build.sh to build the ELDK from scratch. For build.sh to work correctly, the script must be invoked from the build environment after a successful build using the ELDK_BUILD script. A possible scenario of build.sh usage is such that you have a build environment with results of a build performed using the ELDK_BUILD script and want to re-build certain ELDT and target packages, for instance, because you have updated sources of a package or added a new package to the build.
When building the target packages (during the trg buildstep), build.sh examines the contents of the TARGET_CPU_FAMILY_LIST environment variable, which may contain a list indicating which target CPU variants the packages must be built for. Possible CPU variants are 920TDI. For example, the command below rebuilds the target RPM listed in the tpckgs.lst file under the number of 47 (see section 1.9.4. Format of the cpkgs.lst and tpkgs.lst Files for description of the tpckgs.lst and cpkgs.lst files), for the arm CPU:
bash$ TARGET_CPU_FAMILY_LIST="920TDI" \
> /opt/eldk/build.sh -a arm \
> -n 2004-11-11 \
> -p /opt/eldk/build/arm-2004-11-11 \
> -r /opt/eldk/build/arm-2004-11-11/results \
> -w /opt/eldk/build/arm-2004-11-11/work \
> trg 47 47
Note: If you are going to invoke build.sh to re-build a package that has already been build in the build environment by the ELDK_BUILD script, then you must first manually uninstall the package from ELDK installation created by the build procedure under the work directory of the build environment.
Note: It is recommended that you use the build.sh script only at the final stage of adding/updating a package to the ELDK. For debugging purposes, it is much more convenient and efficient to build both ELDT and target packages using a working ELDK installation, as described in the sections 1.7.2. Rebuilding Target Packages and 1.7.3. Rebuilding ELDT Packages above.
1.9.4. Format of the cpkgs.lst and tpkgs.lst Files
Each line of these files has the following format:
<sub_step_number> <package_name> <spec_file_name> \
<binary_package_name> <package_version>
The ELDK source CD-ROM contains the cpkgs.lst and tpkgs.lst files used to build this version of the ELDK distribution. Use them as reference if you want to include any additional packages into the ELDK, or remove unneeded packages.
To add a package to the ELDK you must add a line to either the cpkgs.lst file, if you are adding a ELDT package, or to the tpkgs.lst file, if it is a target package. Keep in mind that the relative positions of packages in the cpkgs.lst and tpkgs.lst files (the sub-step numbers) are very important. The build procedure builds the packages sequentially as defined in the *.lst files and installs the packages in the "work" environment as they are built. This implies that if a package depends on other packages, those packages must be specified earlier (with smaller sub-step numbers) in the *.lst files.
