The Application Development Toolkit, also called ADT, provides a cross-development platform suitable for custom build and user-targeted applications. It is comprised of the following elements:
A cross-toolchain: It is associated with the
sysroot, both of them being automatically generated using Bitbake, and the target-specific metadata is made available by the target hardware supplier.The Quick Emulator environment (Qemu): It is used to simulate the target hardware.
User-space tools: It improves the overall experience of development of an application
In this section, each of the preceding elements will be discussed, and we will start with the cross-development toolchain. It consists of a cross-linker, cross-debugger, and a cross-compiler that are used for the application development of a target. It also needs the associated target sysroot because the necessary headers and libraries are required when building an...
