Yocto Task #1 - Download the source code ?

anaseem — Mon, 16 Dec 2019 19:05:53 GMT

To create embedded Linux image for imx8qxpmek evaluation board, I went to Yocto Training - Home as follows:

I started with Task #1 - Download the source code. I was expecting that Task #1 would contain command to Download poky source: $ git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky --branch warrior

And then I thought Task #1 would provide following command to prepare the build:

$ source oe-init-build-en <build_directory>

But Task #1 is providing commands to download BSP source. For which board are we downloading the BSP source?

Why is Task #1 asking to Download source code from community and NXP Code Aurora? Shouldn't it be one or the other?

Do I need to Download poky source code using the git command above? Or I'll get every needed to build yocto using commands in Task #1 ?

Hello Amer Naseem,

The Yocto training you are referencing to is focused on the Community BSP (more information on the link below)
https://freescale.github.io/#documentation

If you are working with an NXP board I would recommend starting with one of the BSP Releases, available at the following link:
https://www.nxp.com/design/software/embedded-software/linux-software-and-development-tools/embedded-linux-for-i.mx-applications-processors:IMXLINUX?&tab=Documentation_Tab

For the imx8qxpmek board the latest BSP Release available is L4.19.35_1.1.0. You can download the documentation for this BSP on the link below (you may need to login to download this documentation bundle)

https://www.nxp.com/webapp/Download?colCode=L4.19.35_1.1.0_LINUX_DOCS

Inside, you will find the i.MX Yocto Project User's Guide, which has instructions on how to setup Yocto on your host machine to build images for this board.
