You can choose to emulate hardware using the QEMU emulator, or you can choose to run your image on actual hardware.
QEMU:
Select this option if
you will be using the QEMU emulator.
If you are using the emulator, you also need to locate the kernel
and specify any custom options.
If you selected Build system derived toolchain
,
the target kernel you built will be located in the
Build Directory in tmp/deploy/images
directory.
If you selected Standalone pre-built toolchain
, the
pre-built image you downloaded is located
in the directory you specified when you downloaded the image.
Most custom options are for advanced QEMU users to further
customize their QEMU instance.
These options are specified between paired angled brackets.
Some options must be specified outside the brackets.
In particular, the options serial
,
nographic
, and kvm
must all
be outside the brackets.
Use the man qemu
command to get help on all the options
and their use.
The following is an example:
serial ‘<-m 256 -full-screen>’
Regardless of the mode, Sysroot is already defined as part of the
Cross-Compiler Options configuration in the
Sysroot Location:
field.
External HW:
Select this option
if you will be using actual hardware.
Click the "OK" to save your plug-in configurations.
