The default LSDK main userland is an Ubuntu 18.04 based hybrid userland with NXP's packages/components and system configurations. You can select the appropriate distro userland as per your need, the various userlands are showed in the table in page 182 of LSDK 20.12 user manual.

You could generate Ubuntu-based main userland with the following command.

$ flex-builder -i mkrfs -r ubuntu:main

$ flex-builder -i packrfs -r ubuntu:main

According to "Unified 64MiB memory layout of NOR/QSPI/XSPI/NAND/SD media ", ramdisk isonly 32MB, but flex-builder maked the rootfs is 678862805 bytes,it is too big。

flex-builder -i packrfs -r ubuntu:main

You could use yocto-based tiny userland, it includes Yocto basic packages and
part of NXP's packages (restool, aiop_tool, tsntool, fmc, net-tools, flex-installer, ccsr, etc).

$ flex-builder -i mkrfs -r yocto:tiny

Generates RAM-bootable FIT image, including Linux Kernel+ramdisk rootfs.

flex-builder -i mkitb -r yocto:tiny

flex-builder -i mkrfs -r yocto:tiny

there are some errors, i can not get yocto-based tiny userland.

~/work/0734/flexbuild_lsdk2012$ flex-builder -i mkrfs -r yocto:tiny

### Shell environment set up for builds. ###

You can now run 'bitbake <target>'

Common targets are:
core-image-minimal
core-image-sato
meta-toolchain
meta-ide-support

You can also run generated qemu images with a command like 'runqemu qemux86'

Other commonly useful commands are:
- 'devtool' and 'recipetool' handle common recipe tasks
- 'bitbake-layers' handles common layer tasks
- 'oe-pkgdata-util' handles common target package tasks
