imx6ul How to build smaller rootfs image

aaronkuo — Fri, 02 Dec 2016 07:28:00 GMT

Hi NXP support,

We follow the procedure of “i.MX_Yocto_Project_User's_Guide.pdf” to build image, but the built rootfs image is too large.

Our image limit is 32MB, How to build smaller rootfs image that can support WIFI/Bluetooth

Try to build the core-image-minimal. This image contains only a minimum set of applications. If you want to add more applications to it create your own image recipe. The skeleton should look like this:

require recipes-core/images/core-image-minimal.bb

IMAGE_INSTALL += "nano"‍‍‍

Hi Robert,

I add "CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += "packagegroup-base-bluetooth packagegroup-core-wifi"" in core-image-minimal.bb.

I can find the bluetooth in image, but don't find any libraries about wifi in image like following.

./lib/firmware/bcm/ZP_BCM4339/bcmdhd.ZP.SDIO.cal
./lib/firmware/bcm/ZP_BCM4339/bcmdhd.ZP.OOB.cal
./lib/firmware/bcm/ZP_BCM4339/fw_bcmdhd.bin

Hi support,

it is typo,

it should be "CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += "packagegroup-base-bluetooth packagegroup-base-wifi""
