Headless Distro/Image

[moose]

Hello, how should we configure a yocto build for headless hardware with no graphics (screen or camera) The three distros provided by NXP implements a graphics backend. We thought we could create a new distro and base it on top of wayland or pokey and remove wayland and vulkan. Any other packages to remove? Is there a more appropriate way to do this? There are many headless devices out there that I thought this should be more common.

Also, regarding the image, ours is based on imx-image-multimedia to enable audio processing (ex: GStreamer). Should we just remove packagegroup-fsl-tools-gpu, packagegroup-fsl-tools-gpu-external, and splash? Any other features/packages to remove?

FYI our hardware is based on iMX8MNANO Ultralight.

Thank you

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in NXP Semiconductor products,

You can have a reference with minimal builds, here is a post that you can refer to.

That doesn't answer my distro question. Do we really need wayland, weston, vulkan, etc. for headless devices?
