[meta-xilinx] Can Xilinx SDK (XSDK - Eclipse IDE) be integrated with Yocto SDK?

[Vidhumouli Hunsigida]

Hi Brian,

Current Xilinx SDK today allows the user to provide option to provide his own sysroot and aswell an option to provide his own compiler tool chain to be pointed to.

We have good number of customers today who build apps in Xilinx SDK and debug from GUI which makes their debug flow very effective.

Feel free to contact me or Apparao (Cced) for any inputs on Xilinx SDK.

Regards,
Vidhumouli

Subject: [meta-xilinx] Can Xilinx SDK (XSDK - Eclipse IDE) be integrated with Yocto SDK?

I build custom SDK's with Yocto for various products and development teams around the globe for our company.

To date, the application developers that install and use my Yocto based SDK have been using Makefile based build systems for their application code.

I'm starting to get requests for IDE support.  Yocto has a plugin for Eclipse so I can take a toolchain and sysroot from the SDK and make it work with Eclipse IDE.

Can the same thing be done with Xilinx SDK/Eclipse IDE?  Is there a way to make the IDE aware of the sysroot and toolchain etc.?

In the past year I have picked up three flavors of Xilinx products to
support.   I've been able to make Yocto based custom SDK's (based on
meta-xilinx) specific to these products that work fine with Makefile build systems for the Application but I'm not all that experienced yet with the Xilinux SDK way of doing things.

I would like to continue to use the Yocto flow we've been using for years and treat these Xilinx platforms the same way I do everything else but also would like to be able to support folks that want to use the Xilinx SDK.

Regards,

Brian
