GUI Image with buildroot for IMX8MM

kanakshilledar — Sat, 21 Jun 2025 13:18:27 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to develop a GUI image for IMX8MM using buildroot.

Are there any reference defconfigs for such example? If not what are the major packages to be selected while building? I want to build on wayland.

Thanks!

Hello @kanakshilledar

I hope you are doing very well.

Unfortunately there are not buildroot examples. At this moment we just provide support to Yocto.

Best regards,

Salas.

Hello @Manuel_Salas

I’m doing well—hope you are too!

Unfortunately there are not buildroot examples.

Thank you for the clarification. Since there are no official Buildroot examples, I wanted to ask: I noticed there are some i.MX8MM-related defconfigs in the Buildroot tree. Are these community-maintained, or contributed by NXP at some point?

Best Regards

Hello @kanakshilledar

Could you please share the links or examples of defconfig for buildroot?

Then, I can share information if those are community contributed.

Best regards,

Salas.

Hello @kanakshilledar

Yes, those repos are external and are not supported by NXP. But it is interesting there are a lot of the NXP devices, maybe I can try one of them and test by my side at the end of the week.

Also, you can try to compile for your desired device and check if those are working or not.

Best regards,

Salas.
