In oe.dev I can use this: http://cgit.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/openembedded/tree/recipes/meta/external-toolchain-angstrom.bb to 'import' an angstrom toolchain built with 'bitbake meta-toolchain', but I'm not sure how to do that in OE-core. > > My actual use case is actually 2 use-cases: > > 1) Hand people a prebuilt angstrom toolchain and migrate them to OE while keeping the toolchain > 2) "Get started in 10 minutes" type of thing, I suspect an sstate mirror might be better. > > So any suggestions for #2 as well? sstate is the best way to catch #2 and I know in general there's "look at this URI for the file you want" bits. I haven't yet started kicking the tires on sstate as hard as I have for packaged-staging however. For #1, I believe external toolchains are to be supported still, but I don't know off hand if the recipes still work (but there is both an old CSL one as well as a poky toolchain one in meta/recipes-core/meta/).
