Missing libgpuperfcnt binary for framebuffer backend in meta-imx

gilentell — Thu, 06 Mar 2025 12:57:42 GMT

It seems that the binary file libgpuperfcnt-git-aarch64-fb-99ab423.bin is missing from the official NXP download server: www.nxp.com/lgfiles/NMG/MAD/YOCTO/
libgpuperfcnt-git-aarch64-fb-99ab423.bin

A recipe of the meta-imx tries to fetch it and it is not found.

The issue can be reproduce if you generate an image without wayland: Remove wayland and x11 from DISTRO_FEATURES to only keep the framebuffer backend.

Thank you,

The fb supports i.MX6/7 only and the package should be like libgpuperfcnt-6.4.11.p1.0-arm-fb.bin

OK, thak you for your quick answer.

I'm developing a BSP for an i.MX8 Plus, and I wanted to reduce its size to the minimum, so I tried to generate with Yocto a distro without wayland.

But I have noticed that i.MX8 Plus has a lot of other dependencies, like GPU or Vivante drivers, and it seems imposible or very dificult to activate them without Wayland.
