In recent months, some I.MX customers hope to compile u-boot-fw-utils in yocto and get fw_printenv & fw_setenv tools.          Although there are u-boot-fw-utils bblayers in Yocto recipes, by default, u-boot-fw-utils is not based on u-boot-imx, but downloaded from the u-boot source website, when using bitbake When u-boot-fw-utils compiles it, it will fail to compile.          For example: # cd  ~/imx-yocto-bsp-5.4.3_1.0.0 # DISTRO=fsl-imx-fb MACHINE=imx6sxsabresd source imx-setup-release.sh -b build_sabresd # bitbake u-boot-fw-utils -c compile          If changing .config to be mx6sxsabresd_optee_defconfig in the top directory of u-boot source code, new errors will occur, like descriptions in the link:          https://community.nxp.com/message/1318081?commentID=1318081#comment-1318081            The root cause is that the u-boot is not u-boot-imx.          If we did the test below, it is easy to validate it.      Compiling u-boot # bitbake u-boot-imx -c compile          After compilation is done, u-boot-imx source code will be released .      Changing u-boot source code of u-boot-fw-utils directory          Replace u-boot source code in u-boot-fw-utils directory with u-boot-imx source code. Then continue to compile u-boot-fw-utils # bitbake u-boot-fw-utils -c compile          We will find it can be compiled successfully. This shows that when u-boot-fw-utils is compiled, the downloaded u-boot source code must be u-boot-imx.          In order to achieve this, we need to add recipes to yocto's u-boot-imx, and we can successfully compile fw_printevn and fw_setenv through the bitbake command. Please follow these steps to add u-boot-fw-utils for i.mx to yocto! copy 2 files in attacments to ~/imx-yocto-bsp-5.4.3_1.0.0/sources/meta-imx/meta-bsp/recipes-bsp/u-boot cd ~/imx-yocto-bsp-5.4.3_1.0.0 run below comands # DISTRO=fsl-imx-fb MACHINE=imx6sxsabresd source imx-setup-release.sh -b build_sabresd # bitbake u-boot-imx-fw-utils -c compile # bitbake u-boot-imx-fw-utils -c install   Then you will get fw_printenv & fw_setenv [Comment]          If i.MX users are using other version of linux BSP, she only need to modify the following content of u-boot-imx-common_2019.04.inc to compile u-boot-fw-utils. …… LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://Licenses/gpl-2.0.txt;md5=b234ee4d69f5fce4486a80fdaf4a4263"   UBOOT_SRC ?= "git://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/uboot-imx.git;protocol=https" SRCBRANCH = "lf-5.4.y_v2019.04" SRC_URI = "${UBOOT_SRC};branch=${SRCBRANCH} \ " SRCREV = "228843cdf5435d4bd69f42a6015f78761ff4cc0d" ……          Then compile it following above steps.          Example for L4.14.98_2.0.0: 1.Copy u-boot-imx-common_2019.04.inc & u-boot-imx-fw-utils_2019.04.bb to ~/imx-release-bsp-4.14.98-2.0.0/sources/meta-fsl-bsp-release/imx/meta-bsp/recipes-bsp/u-boot/ 2.Rename files name according to u-boot version u-boot-imx-common_2018.03.inc     u-boot-imx-fw-utils_2018.03.bb 3.Modifying u-boot-imx-common_2018.03.inc In the directory, there is u-boot-imx_2018.03.bb file, open it, and find the link of u-boot and check sum, and use lines below to replace those lines in u-boot-imx-common_2018.03.inc In u-boot-imx_2018.03.bb file: …… LICENSE = "GPLv2+" LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://Licenses/gpl-2.0.txt;md5=b234ee4d69f5fce4486a80fdaf4a4263"   UBOOT_SRC ?= "git://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/uboot-imx.git;protocol=https" SRCBRANCH = "imx_v2018.03_4.14.98_2.0.0_ga" SRC_URI = "${UBOOT_SRC};branch=${SRCBRANCH}" SRCREV = "87a19df5e462f1f63e8a6d2973c7fb9e95284d04" …… Then in u-boot-imx-common_2018.03.inc, there is the same contents as above: Save it and exit. Go back to the top directory of yocto: ~/imx-release-bsp-4.14.98-2.0.0 # cd ~/imx-release-bsp-4.14.98-2.0.0 # DISTRO=fsl-imx-fb MACHINE=imx6sxsabresd source fsl-setup-release.sh -b build_sabresd # bitbake u-boot-imx-fw-utils -c compile # bitbake u-boot-imx-fw-utils -c install          The same method can be used for other Linux BSP versions.       NXP TIC Team Weidong Sun 05/28/2020

Some processor’s GPIO settings on the i.MX Pins Tool version 7 may not show allow to select direction and just show an option “Input/Output” as shown. This will be fixed, but the settings can be changed on the local processor data as a workaround. For more information and documentation for the Pins Tool for i.MX please visit its home page on the link below: https://www.nxp.com/design/designs/pins-tool-for-i-mx-application-processors:PINS-TOOL-IMX   First, find where the Pins Tool data package is stored. To do this open the Pins Tool and click Help > About. On the About screen click the Details button. Take also note of the name of the package that needs to be fixed.   Go to the location where the data package is stored and find the processor data. The file that would need to be updated is signal_configuration.xml    Find the GPIO pin data and change the directions from the string ““inOut”to the string “in out”. Then save this file.    Close and reopen the Pins Tool. The direction on the updated package should now show the options Input and Output.

In order to improve the speed of compilation, VMWare Player 14.0 is installed on local hard disk, and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is installed on a SSD with at least 500GB size and USB3.1 specification. When installing ubuntu 18.04 LTS to SSD, it should be allocated at least 350GB of disk space, because compiling this version of android requires a larger disk space. The following are detailed compilation steps: Part l Configuring Ubuntu 18.04 LTS 1. Installing Ubuntu 18.04 on VMplayer 14.0 After installation is done, root user should be set at first. # sudo passwd root Then follow these steps to configuration ubuntu 18.04 for environment of compiliation --Changing sources of ubuntu 18.04 mirror If you are Chinese users, you can do the step, which can improve your system performance. # sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bak # sudo geit /etc/apt/source.list Comment I.MX customers outside China do not need to modify Ubuntu source list, or can modify it to local mirror site of Ubuntu 18.04, which can improve the speed of software upgrade.    Delet all sources and copy following lines here, Then save it and exit Changing ubuntu source deb https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/ubuntu/ bionic main restricted universe multiverse # deb-src https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/ubuntu/ bionic main restricted universe multiverse deb https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/ubuntu/ bionic-updates main restricted universe multiverse # deb-src https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/ubuntu/ bionic-updates main restricted universe multiverse deb https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/ubuntu/ bionic-backports main restricted universe multiverse # deb-src https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/ubuntu/ bionic-backports main restricted universe multiverse deb https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/ubuntu/ bionic-security main restricted universe multiverse # deb-src https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/ubuntu/ bionic-security main restricted universe multiverse # deb https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/ubuntu/ bionic-proposed main restricted universe multiverse # deb-src https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/ubuntu/ bionic-proposed main restricted universe multiverse    Then running these 2 commands to update sources and packages    # sudo apt-get update    # sudo apt-get upgrade 2. Installing packages for compiliation Packages for compiliation # sudo apt-get install flex bison gperf build-essential zlib1g-dev lib32ncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32z1-dev libgl1-mesa-dev tofrodos python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc # sudo apt-get install uuid-dev:i386 liblzo2-dev:i386 gcc-multilib g++-multilib subversion openssh-server openssh-client uuid uuid-dev zlib1g-dev liblz-dev lzop liblzo2-2 liblzo2-dev git-core curl # sudo apt-get install u-boot-tools mtd-utils android-tools-fsutils openjdk-8-jdk device-tree-compiler aptitude libcurl4-openssl-dev nss-updatedb # sudo apt-get install chrpath texinfo gawk cpio diffstat gdisk m4 libz-dev libssl-dev Part 2 Compiling Android Q10.0.0_2.1.0 BSP 1. Downloading NXP source code for Android Q10.0.0_2.1.0    File name is imx-android-10.0.0_2.1.0.tar.gz.    Copy the file to ~/, and decompress it.    # cd ~/    # tar zxvf ./imx-android-10.0.0_2.1.0.tar.gz    Then “imx-android-10.0.0_2.1.0” directory is created at ~/, now run the command to download android source code. # source ./imx-android-10.0.0_2.1.0/imx_android_setup.sh Comment imx_android_setup.sh is a script file, which includes all steps needed by the environment of android Q10.0.0_2.1.0 BSP. If network environment is enough good, several hours later, it will be done. 2. Compiling Android Q10.0.0_2.1.0 Referring to steps in Android_User's_Guide.pdf, We summaries steps for compilation here: (1) Preparing cross-compile tool chain    In Android_User's_Guide.pdf, 2 kinds of tool chain are recommended for users. --- gcc-arm-8.3-2019.03-x86_64-aarch64-elf.tar.xz --- gcc-arm-8.3-2019.03-x86_64-aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz    Users can select one of them, and then decompress it to /opt/ directory. On how to download them or more details, see Android_User's_Guide.pdf, page 3. Here we will use gcc-arm-8.3-2019.03-x86_64-aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz as tool chain. (2) Beginning to Compile Android Q10.0.0_2.1.0 BSP    Since this version of Android BSP requires high memory capacity when compiling, if the memory configuration of the virtual machine is incorrect, it is very likely to cause the compilation to fail. The following is a list of variable tests for user reference: # cd android_build # export AARCH64_GCC_CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/gcc-arm-8.3-2019.03-x86_64-aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu- # source build/envsetup.sh # lunch evk_8mp-userdebug # ./imx-make.sh -j2 2>&1 | tee build-log.txt Part 3 Errors During Compilation 1. Allocating 8GB Memory For VMware Player # ./imx-make.sh -j1 2>&1 | tee build-log.txt 2. Allocating 12GB Memory For VMware Player # ./imx-make.sh -j4 2>&1 | tee build-log.txt # ./imx-make.sh -j4 2>&1 | tee build-log.txt (Run it again) # ./imx-make.sh -j4 2>&1 | tee build-log.txt (Run it again)       So if we use 4 thread to compile BSP, command for compilation will have to be run for 3 times.
