The IBM Software Development Kit for Linux on Power (SDK) is a free, Eclipse-based Integrated Development Environment (IDE). It integrates C/C++ source development with the IBM Advance Toolchain, Migration Advisor, CPI Breakdown, Build Advisor, Post-Link Optimization and classic Linux performance analysis tools, such as Oprofile, Perf and Valgrind.

IBM SDK supports three different architectures: ppc64, ppc64le and x86_64. You can develop your C/C++ application using one of the following scenarios:

Locally, using a Power System and connection using VNC, for example.
Remotely, using a x86_64 machine as a client to connect to a Power System.
Cross-compiled, using a x86_64 machine.

The IBM SDK for Linux on Power 1.9 support the following distributions for both Power and x86_64:

 

Distributions x86_64 ppc64 ppc64le
Fedora 22 Yes Yes Yes
RHEL 7.2 Yes Yes Yes
SLES 12 Yes No Yes
Ubuntu 14.04.4 Yes No Yes

Table 1: Supported distributions


1 - Local Development using a Power System

If you are using RHEL or SLES follow the steps below:

  1. Download the IBM Power repository.
  2. Install the repository package:
    1. For RHEL:
      1.  $sudo yum install ibm-power-repo-<version>.noarch.rpm
    2. For SLES:
      1. $sudo zypper install ibm-power-repo-<version>.noarch.rpm
  3. Update your repositories:
    1. For RHEL:
      1. $sudo yum update
    2. For SLES:
      1. $sudo zypper update
  4. Install the IBM SDK:
    1. For RHEL:
      1. $sudo yum install ibm-sdk-lop
    2. For SLES:
      1. $sudo zypper install ibm-sdk-lop


If you are using Ubuntu follow the steps below:

  1. Before installing the IBM SDK for Linux on Power you need to install a required compatible version of the IBM Advance Toolchain. To install it, follow the steps described here.
  2. Download the gpg public key and import it using the following commands:
    1. $wget  ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/server/iplsdk/v1.9.0/packages/deb/repo/dists/trusty/B346CA20.gpg.key
    2. $sudo apt-key add B346CA20.gpg.key
  3. If you have never configured IBM SDK for Linux on Power repositories in this system, you need to do so. Add the following line, as root, to /etc/apt/sources.list file.
    1. deb ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/server/iplsdk/v1.9.0/packages/deb/repo trusty sdk
  4. After configuring the repository, refresh the local cache by running:
    1. $sudo apt-get update
  5. Install the IBM SDK for Linux on Power by running:
    1. $sudo apt-cache install ibm-sdk-lop


2 - Remote development using a x86_64 machine as a client and a Power System as a server

To develop remotely in a Power System you need to install the IBM SDK in your x86_64 machine (step 1) and also install the IBM SDK Remote Dependencies in the Power System (step 2). The IBM SDK Remote Dependencies ensures that all required packages for remote development are installed in the Power System.


1) Installing the IBM SDK on the x86_64 machine.

  1. Download IBM SDK package:
    1. For RHEL and SLES: IBM SDK
    2. For Ubuntu: IBM SDK
  2. Install the IBM SDK package:
    1. For RHEL:
      1. $sudo yum install ibm-sdk-lop-1.9.0-1.x86_64.rpm
    2. For SLES:
      1. $sudo zypper install ibm-sdk-lop-1.9.0-1.x86_64.rpm
    3. For Ubuntu:
      1. $sudo dpkg -i ibm-sdk-lop_1.9.0_amd64.deb

    

2) Installing the IBM SDK Remote Dependencies on the Power System.

If you are using RHEL or SLES follow the steps below:

  1. Download the IBM Power repository.
  2. Install the repository package:
    1. For RHEL:
      1. $sudo yum install ibm-power-repo-<version>.noarch.rpm
    2. For SLES:
      1. $sudo zypper install ibm-power-repo-<version>.noarch.rpm
  3. Update your repositories:
    1. For RHEL:
      1. $sudo yum update
    2. For SLES:
      1. $sudo zypper update
  4. Install the IBM SDK:
    1. For RHEL:
      1. $sudo yum install ibm-sdk-lop-remote-dependencies
    2. For SLES:
      1. $sudo zypper install ibm-sdk-lop-remote-dependencies


If you are using Ubuntu follow the steps below:

  1. Before installing the IBM SDK for Linux on Power you need to install a required compatible version of the IBM Advance Toolchain. To install it, follow the steps described here.
  2. Download the gpg public key and import it using the following commands:
    1. $wget  ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/server/iplsdk/v1.9.0/packages/deb/repo/dists/trusty/B346CA20.gpg.key
    2. $sudo apt-key add B346CA20.gpg.key
  3. If you have never configured IBM SDK for Linux on Power repositories in this system, you need to do so. Add the following line, as root, to /etc/apt/sources.list file.
    1. deb ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/server/iplsdk/v1.9.0/packages/deb/repo trusty sdk
