Adding Compiler Cross-Toolchain to DS-5 CE

Hello all,

I'm new to this community and DS-5 as well. I've just installed DS-5 community edition on my Windows 7 host machine. I want to use DS-5 for development for NXP i.MX6 based board.

On i.mx6 target I have running Yocto-Linux based image with gcc and gdbserver installed. I have built the Linux-Yocto image on my Linux-based (ubuntu) virtual machine.

Now I want to have simple "Hello World" application compiled, get it running on target and start debugging it with DS-5 debugger.

My question is how do I set up DS-5 toolchain for compilation?

I can use gcc and gdbserver on target?

Can I use cross-toolchain for target on my host Linux-VM and what is the way to set it up?

Thank you.

gdbserver will need to be run on the target in order for DS-5 to connect to and debug a Linux application.

If you need to, you can add additional compilation tools to DS-5 by following the instructions in the "Adding New Compiler Toolchains to DS-5"

I got gdbserver on my target running. But toolchain is on target as well and I do not have cross-toolchain on my host so I'd like to connect to target board for compilation. How to set up that?
