How do I find a replacement URL for Aurora?

The manual:

i.MX Yocto Project User's Guide, Rev. L4.9.88_2.0.0-ga, 05/2018

Refers to a server that no longer exists for the build:

repo init -u https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/imx-manifest -b imx-linux-rocko -m imx-4.9.88-2.0.0_ga.xml

Hello!

Now NXP did a migration to github from codeaurora. You can find the correct repo:

https://github.com/nxp-imx/imx-manifest/tree/imx-linux-rocko

It is possible that some branches does not work yet, but we are working solve the issues.

Best regards!

Rocko is EOL as is the 4.9 kernel.

The documentation says to use the following XML file with the repo command:
imx-4.9.88-2.0.0_ga.xml

However, if I choose imx-linux-kirkstone there is nothing ending in ga.

Which XML file for kirkstone would be appropriate for the MCIM6ULL-EVK to build an SD card image?

You can refer to the README file inside of Kirkstone's branch.

Setup the build folder for a BSP release:

Note: The remaining instructions are for setting up a BSP release only. For setting up a demo, please see imx-manifest/README-<demo> for further instructions.

$: [MACHINE=<machine>] [DISTRO=fsl-imx-<backend>] source ./imx-setup-release.sh -b bld-<backend>

<machine>   defaults to `imx6qsabresd`
<backend>   Graphics backend type
    xwayland    Wayland with X11 support - default distro
    wayland     Wayland
    fb          Framebuffer (not supported for mx8)

Note if the poky community distro is used then build breaks will happen with some components using our meta-imx layer.

Examples:

• Setup for XWayland.

$: MACHINE=imx8mnevk DISTRO=fsl-imx-xwayland source ./imx-setup-release.sh -b bld-xwayland
