i.MX8 - Nitrogen8M - Yocto - Building Yocto
|
In order to create your own image, a supported Software Development Kit will be required for your desired OS.
Yocto
To create a customized image with Yocto, first install its required packages with the following commands:
- repo tool
mkdir ~/bin curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo chmod a+x ~/bin/repo export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
- Yocto dependencies
sudo apt-get install gawk wget git-core diffstat unzip texinfo gcc-multilib build-essential \ chrpath socat cpio python python3 python3-pip python3-pexpect xz-utils debianutils iputils-ping \ libsdl1.2-dev xterm autoconf libtool libglib2.0-dev python-git sed cvs subversion coreutils \ texi2html docbook-utils python-pysqlite2 help2man make gcc g++ desktop-file-utils libgl1-mesa-dev \ libglu1-mesa-dev mercurial automake groff curl lzop asciidoc u-boot-tools dos2unix mtd-utils pv \ libncurses5 libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev libelf-dev zlib1g-dev
NOTE: If you have some dependency errors, this could be the reason: Broken APT due to ARM64 packages
- Download the Nitrogen8m source code
mkdir fsl-community-bsp cd fsl-community-bsp repo init -u https://github.com/Freescale/fsl-community-bsp-platform -b master repo sync
- Set up the build configuration
For now, only Wayland distro is supported for iMX8
DISTRO=fslc-wayland MACHINE=nitrogen8m source setup-environment build
- Start the build process
bitbake fsl-image-multimedia-full
Other images are supported, i.e core-image-minimal
For flashing the image, refer to iMX8 Installing an Image section.
