8 Building a Garz & Fricke Yocto Linux system from source
This chapter describes how to build a Yocto based Linux BSP for a Garz & Fricke platform from source. All steps,
including the installation of the build system and the required toolchains, are covered here.
8.1 General information about Garz & Fricke Yocto Linux systems
Garz & Fricke uses the
Yocto Project
providing a Board Support Package (BSP). The Yocto Project is lead by the Linux foundation with the aim to
produce tools and processes to create embedded Linux distributions.
The Yocto project includes a configurable build system specializing in building embedded Linux systems. This
chapter contains information about the handling of Linux with
systems. For further information regarding the

Documentation regarding several Yocto topics can be found at:

In order to build a Yocto based Linux system, the following list of packages should be installed (Debian and
Ubuntu package names):
autoconf
automake
build-essential
dblatex
docbook-utils
fop
libglib2.0-dev
libsdl1.2-dev
libtool
make
xmlto
xsltproc
xterm
git
texinfo
chrpath
python-dev
python3-dev

development-system
On Debian based Linux distributions packages can be installed using the
$ sudo apt-get install <package_Name>
To install all the above packages, type:
!
$ sudo apt-get install autoconf automake dblatex docbook-utils fop libglib2.0-dev
!
libsdl1.2-dev libtool make xmlto xsltproc xterm git texinfo chrpath python-dev
,
python3-dev
,
In contrast to a desktop Linux system, which is completely built with a native GNU toolchain, an embedded Linux
system is built with a GNU cross toolchain. A cross toolchain must have the ability to produce target specific
opcode while running on a different host system. When building a BSP with Yocto the toolchain will be supplied
and built alongside with the target system. There is no need to install a GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) host and
cross toolchain separately.
