Choosing Image of i.MX8M Nano for Camera application

[milav_soni]

Hello Team,

I want to build Camera based application in custom i.MX8M Nano based Processor.

So for that I need to build Yocto Project Image for our custom board.

So can you suggest the appropriate image option for the same?

I use "fsl-imx-wayland" as a Distro and "imx8mnevk" as a Machine.

Would i select "core-image-base or else other one?

Or is there any sample application available in any image for camera related?

can you help me out?

Thank You

depends on what bsp version you use?

Hello,

I do not get you.

Actually, I am following "IMX_YOCTO_PROJECT_USERS_GUIDE" Document and Follow the steps.

Can you please elaborate what you want from my side? 

Thank You

I mean that you need to tell me what bsp version you need to build, like 4.19.35 or 5.4.47, different bsp version has the different image name

Hello,

Okay Got it. I used BSP 5.4.47_2.2.0 Linux Yocto Release.

first, you can refer to the yocto user guide, if you use 8mn, you can choose the machine name

for example,

$ DISTRO=fsl-imx-xwayland MACHINE=imx8mnevk source imx-setup-release.sh -b build-xwayland
$ bitbake imx-image-full

these commands are full image based on xwayland backend, you can change image what you need, pls refer to the Table 1. i.MX Yocto project images of yocto user guide, you also can change fsl-imx-xwayland fsl-imx-wayland

Hello,

Thank You For Your Answer.

Can i use core-image-base Image for the camera application?

Thank You

refer to the user guide:

core-image-base:A console-only image that fully supports the target device
hardware.

it seems that this image doesn't includes the camera application, shouldn't include multimedia application, but I never tested this image, I suggest that you can use imx-image-multimedia, we all use this image and imx-image-full
