Thanks. Could you please document this in the manual?


With this implementation, one can qemu or chroot into the SDK and build
artifacts (e.g., isar-image-base) in the native (e.g., armhf) buildchroot. The
workflow looks like this:

1. System integrator prepares his build host, builds the system image and the
   SDK, and distributes them.

2. Developers flash the image to the target and use SDK to develop the
   application, and either:

   1. Build new images and flash them, or

   2. Build hello.deb and install it to the target manually.

In this way, the current SDK:

1. Removes the necessity to prepare developer's build hosts.

2. Is usable on non-Debian hosts.

3. Provides downloads.


@Jan: Do I understand your idea correctly: The SDK should contain a
cross-compiler for the developers to build their applications? Or is this
thought as a second step, when Isar is able to build packages in
crossbuildchroot (or however we call it)?


With kind regards,
Baurzhan.
