Build yocto image for i.MX6 without GPU support and with LinuxFB

[chintan_raval]

How can I build yocto image with only LinuxFB support for i.MX6 with GPU disabled. I want to do this to create same environment and scenario for testing qt gui which was being run earlier on i.MX35.

Hello Chintan Raval,

As Marco Madrigal mentioned the easiest way to achieve this is creating your image with only the required packages. Core-image-minimal is a great place to start! As this inherits from the core-image.bbclass and allows to add some standard IMAGE_FEATURES.

You can find more information on the Yocto Reference Manual:
https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.2/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#ref-classes-core-image

Alternatively, you can disable the GPU support on the kernel defconfig.

I hope this helps!

Hi,

You can start from a core-image-minimal and add any extra packages that you need either on the conf/local.conf or creating a new image recipe. 

Best Regards,
