but I try to find it in the yocto source code,I do not find the bb file about texlive or latex.
where is it? how to find it and add in local.conf？

Hello,

You may try to include the needed package in Your system image,
using recommendations of section A.4 (How to select additional packages)
of "IMX_YOCTO_PROJECT_USERS_GUIDE.pdf".

@Yuri

but there are no latex or texlive bb files in http://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/branch/master/layers/

how can it add them in CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += ?

nobody did before?

Hello,

Looks like You are right - "nobody did before". Usually Latex is prerogative of host PC.
Generally it is possible to try using Debian with its installation capabilities.

Yuri.
