Hello!

I've got some problems with using Poky and I couldn't find any solutions in documentation or wiki, so I hope that someone will be able to help me. Some questions might sound stupid, but I've got almost zero experience with embedded hardware, and even some obvious things are a mystery to me.

Question one:

There is an excellent instruction of booting the device over network, but I need to download the image directly to device. How do I do that?

Question two:

I have installed the Eclipse plug-in, but it requires running "bitbake meta-ide-support" to build toolchain. Is there any way to use pre-build tarballs from http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/downloads/yocto-1.0/toolchain/i686/ ?

I have written in another mail (Subject: "glibc building problem")  why I can't simply create my own toolchain (compilation problems).

Question three:

As I understand, to customize my Poky, I have to edit recipes (or write my own). There are plenty of them however in meta directory, and finding a pattern among them is rather difficult. Is there any sort of wizard (I mean something like "make menuconfig" during normal kernel compilation) for it, or I have to study meta directory?

I use Poky 5.0.1 on 32-bit host with Fedora 15 and my target is PowerPC.

That's all, for now at least.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Best regards
