i.MX Linux Yocto Project BSP for Desktop PoC (Proof of Concept)

This README contains instructions for setting up a Yocto build for the Desktop PoC release image.

Install the repo utility

To get the BSP you need to have repo installed.

$ mkdir ~/bin
$ curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo  > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
$ PATH=${PATH}:~/bin

Download the Yocto Project BSP

$ mkdir desktop
$ cd desktop
$ repo init -u https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/imx-manifest -b imx-linux-hardknott -m imx-5.10.72-2.2.0_desktop.xml
$ repo sync

Create a new build folder

If you want to create a new build folder:

$ DISTRO=imx-desktop-xwayland MACHINE=imx8mpevk source imx-setup-desktop.sh -b build-desktop

Note: The available build MACHINEs for below boards: imx8mpevk - i.MX8MP-EVK imx8mqevk - i.MX8MQ-EVK imx8mmevk - i.MX8MM-EVK imx8mnevk - i.MX8MN-EVK imx8qmmek - i.MX8QM-MEK

Use an existing build folder

If you want to build in an existing build folder:

$ cd desktop
$ source setup-environment build-desktop

Build the image

$ bitbake imx-image-desktop

The default PoC build will create the account "user" with the password "user" for desktop evaluation, In order to change the account or password, uncomment and update APTGET_ADD_USER in <build_dir>/conf/local.conf.
