How to build YOCTO Linux for i.MX7Solo

[yuuki]

Daer all,

We want to evaluate i.MX7Solo.
Would you tell me the method to build Linux for i.MX7Solo?

We referred to a document included in fsl_yocto-L4.1.15_2.0.0 BSP.
i.MX7Dual is explained , but i.MX7Solo is not explained.

We understand that We can build i.MX7Solo image by changing a command.
Would you tell me the changed command?

Best Regards,
Yuuki

Hi Yuuki,

You should take a look in the README-IMXBSP and see there what boards/MACHINES are supported.

cat README-IMXBSP | grep imx7
* NXP i.MX 7Dual SABRE Smart Device (imx7dsabresd)
imx7dsabresd - sd, qspi1, nand, epdc

On my side only this imx7 board is supported, try the same command on your side. 

After that, you can use the imx7 MACHINE name to build command, just an example:

DISTRO=fsl-imx-X11 MACHINE=imx7dsabresd  source fsl-setup-release.sh -b build-x11

Thank you,

Marius
