Cross-compiler Toolchain and OpenEmbedded +BeagleBoard

Hi!

I recently start building the filesystem for Beagle Board through OpenEmbedded, but now I also want to change its kernel using the shown here: http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard#Linux_kernel.

To do that I need the staging and the cross-compiler toolchain directories, but I can't find them. The top level directories that appear after doing the console-image are:

$ find tmp -maxdepth 2 -type d tmp tmp/work tmp/work/armv7a-angstrom-linux-gnueabi tmp/work/i686-linux tmp/work/beagleboard-angstrom-linux-gnueabi tmp/work/all-angstrom-linux-gnueabi tmp/download tmp/download/sources tmp/pstage tmp/pstage/angstromglibc tmp/pstage/pstaging_lists tmp/rootfs tmp/deploy tmp/deploy/glibc tmp/pkgdata tmp/pkgdata/armv7a-angstrom-linux-gnueabi tmp/pkgdata/i686-linux tmp/pkgdata/beagleboard-angstrom-linux-gnueabi tmp/pkgdata/all-angstrom-linux-gnueabi tmp/stamps tmp/stamps/armv7a-angstrom-linux-gnueabi tmp/stamps/i686-linux tmp/stamps/beagleboard-angstrom-linux-gnueabi tmp/stamps/all-angstrom-linux-gnueabi tmp/sysroots tmp/sysroots/armv7a-angstrom-linux-gnueabi tmp/sysroots/i686-linux tmp/sysroots/beagleboard-angstrom-linux-gnueabi tmp/cache tmp/cache/glibc tmp/usr tmp/usr/lib

Usually the cross-compiler toolchain is in the tmp/cross directory and the staging in the /tmp/staging directory.

Can someone help me? Thanks in advance.

Borlido,

I am experiencing the same issue. I tried building both the console-image and the base-image for beagleboard using openembedded, and I too cannot spot the staging and the cross directories. Which image did you try to bitbake?

I tried console-image.

I'm a little busy right now and I don't have my BeagleBoard ready to test some of the compiled applications, but I think that tmp/sysroots/i686-linux/usr/armv7a/bin directory has the cross-compiler toolchain.

Hi! I added the following directories to my PATH variable and it's working:

  • tmp/sysroots/i686-linux/usr/bin
  • tmp/sysroots/i686-linux/usr/armv7a/bin
