Registration

If you want to test SimpleCore™, SimpleSwitch™ or any of our packages from our SimpleCore™ incubator program, please register here and we will grant you access.

Adding packages to the target SDK#

In case you need additional packages in for the target device in your SDK, create a `simplecore-simpleswitch-sdk.bbappend with the following content

TOOLCHAIN_TARGET_TASK:append = " package-one package-two"

This will make the content of package-one and package-two available for instance to the cross-compiler in the SDK.

Adding packages to the host SDK#

In case you need additional packages in for the host in your SDK, create a simplecore-simpleswitch-sdk.bbappend with the following content

TOOLCHAIN_HOST_TASK:append = " package-one package-two"

This will make the content of package-one and package-two available directly to the user when the SDK got activated.
