I compared the ltb build with ubuntu10.04 version with bitbake fsl-machine-test. fsl-machine-test one donot including the ipu,vpu and gpu drivers, is only start the uart console with tty. Does somebody know the patches for the gpu,vpu,ipu I need to perform or where can I get it ?

thanks!

one can try to build fsl-image-qt5 which Builds an opensource Qt 5 image. These images are only
supported for i.MX SoC with hardware graphics. They are not supported on the i.MX 6UltraLite and i.MX 7Dual.
