Yocto HOB configuration issue

sumanranjan — Tue, 01 Apr 2014 11:54:03 GMT

We are using Yocto build system for IMX6 platform. We want to use HOB for package selection or removal. Host system is Ubuntu 12.04.

In the HOB user interface, We selected ‘imx6qsabresd’ as machine type and ‘core-image-base’ as the base image type. After that if we select 'edit image' and try to add ‘gpu-viv-bin-mx6q’ as it is not part of ‘core-image-base’ then HOB throws below error.

../fsl-community-bsp/build$ hob

Any idea what is causing above error ?

Did anybody answer this question? I ran into the same problem and I was about to edit the image and add 'gpu-viv-bin-mx6q' until saw your results ...

Hi, Suman

It is a bug for Yocto on iMX6Q board and i have faced with the same defect also! In my opinion, now there are no better solution for this problem. I hope that Yocto 1.6 for freescale bsp will resolve it. As a workaround, you can use bitbake -c CMD(deploy) instead of graphic interface as many engineers do. In addition, Yocto 1.6 for iMX6Q should be released in following months.

Thanks Tao for your reply.

I have started using bitbake commands for yocto build since I could not work around the issue.
