Yocto toolchain installation for out of Yocto builds

Prerequisites

$ cd ~/debian_var-som-mx6
$ MACHINE=var-som-mx6 DISTRO= ./make_var_som_mx6_debian.sh

Build the toolchain:

$  bitbake meta-toolchain

Install the toolchain/SDK

Install the tools by running the resulted script in tmp/deploy/sdk/.

E.g.

$ tmp/deploy/sdk/

Note: The toolchain/script name depends on your build machine and the bitbaked image/recipe, and may change.

Accept all the default options, and at the end of the installation you should see the following:

Each time you wish to use the toolchain in a new shell session, you need to source the environment setup script:
