LX2080A Linux Development Support – Yocto and Buildroot

[RamanjaNaiduAdhikari]

Hello,

I am working with the NXP LX2080A platform and want to develop an embedded Linux system.

I would like to know what Linux development support NXP provides for LX2080A.

Is Yocto officially supported? If yes, where can I find the NXP Yocto BSP/layers?

Is Buildroot officially supported for LX2080A?

Is there any NXP BSP/SDK recommended for Linux development?

Please share the relevant documentation, source repositories, or guides.

Thank you.

Please refer to https://www.nxp.com/webapp/Download?colCode=LX2160ARDBGSG, page 11.

By changing SW3[1:3] from 111 to 110, the board will boot as an LX2080A platform.

Any RCW, ATF, or other software modifications required will depend on your specific hardware design and may differ from the reference LX2160ARDB implementation.

Thanks.

Hello,

Thank you for the information.

I would like to clarify one point regarding the LX2080A.

If we use the LX2160A-RDB software and reference configuration for Linux enablement on the LX2080A, are any changes required in the RCW (Reset Configuration Word) or ATF (TF-A) configuration to support the LX2080A?

Specifically, can the RCW and ATF configuration used for the LX2160A-RDB be used for the LX2080A, or do they need to be modified for the LX2080A?

Thanks.

The LX2080A belongs to the LX2 family, and Linux software support is common across the LX2 family. The LX2160A-RDB is typically used as the reference hardware platform for software enablement.

For Linux development, Layerscape Yocto BSP (LDP Yocto) is supported. The source code and layers are available from: https://github.com/nxp-qoriq/yocto-sdk/tree/walnascar

Please refer to: UG10374 and UG10381.

NXP's official Linux enablement is based on the Layerscape LDP / Yocto releases. We do not provide a dedicated Buildroot BSP release for LX2080A.

The Layerscape LDP page provides the latest software releases, documentation, and supported device information below:
