7.2.1 Development Environment Setup and Build Instructions
This section describes the requirements and setup of a cross-compilation development environment, as well as instructions for downloading source code and building system images.
Cross-Compilation Development Environment
Cross-compilation is a method of developing and building software on a host machine, where the compiled software is subsequently deployed and executed on a development board.
- Host Advantages: The host typically offers higher performance and larger memory capacity, significantly accelerating code builds.
- Tool Support: The host can accommodate a wider range of development tools, thereby enhancing development efficiency.
Setting up a cross-compilation environment is an essential step in the development process. The following diagram illustrates the overall architecture of a cross-compilation environment:
