To confirm the license of i.MX6 android BSP.

Hi community,

I have a question about i.MX6 Android BSP (jb4.2.2_xxx).

I want to know the license of Android BSP (GPL, LGPL, Apache, etc...), especially the license of multimedia codecs for Android BSP.

Could you let me know how can I confirm it?

Best Regards,

Satoshi Shimoda

You will find information on the different licenses on the Android BSP on the package_manifest.txt available along the documentation of the each Android BSP release.

For details of the multimedia codecs you will also find information on the i.MX 6 Series Android Codec Release Notes

Hi gusarambula,

Has package_manifest.txt been released for each Android BSP?

Could you let me know where is it?

Satoshi Shimoda, I apologize for the confusion. The package manifest can be found on the source code package available on the Android for i.MX page (link below).

Once you extract the bundle it’s inside android_jb4.2.2.1.1.0-ga_source.tar

Hi gusarambula,

Thank you for your reply.

Actually, I misunderstood Android BSP doesn't have the package_manifest.txt even though Linux BSP has the one.

Now, I found the package_manifest.txt, but sorry, I don't understand what package is multimedia codecs.

platform/external/fsl_imx_imx is the one?

My apologies, Satoshi Shimoda, for the delay!

You are correct, the multimedia codecs are part of the platform/external/fsl_imx_omx on the package manifest so they are under Freescale EULA.

Hi gusarambula,

Thank you for your reply.

OK, I understood platform/external/fsl_imx_omx indicates multimedia codecs and they are under Freescale EULA.

Thank you for your cooperation.
