How to install gpiod on prebuilt nxp images for imx8mm

[Mostafa_Ronia]

I'm currently utilizing the evaluation board image (imx-image-full-imx8mmevk.wic) for imx8mm. However, I've noticed that gpiod is not installed, and attempts to install it via apt-get have been unsuccessful. Could someone kindly provide guidance on resolving this issue or installing gpiod? Perhaps updating my apt-get repositories could be a solution?

Thank you.

Hi @Mostafa_Ronia!

Thank you for contacting NXP Support!

To add any package based on our BSP you have to compile the image.

You have to add the next on the conf/local.conf .

Examples:

IMAGE_INSTALL += "pcsc-lite"
IMAGE_INSTALL += "pcsc-lite-dev"
IMAGE_INSTALL += "pcsc-lite-lib"

And then compile the image using the command bitbake <image>

The image could be "imx-image-multimedia",
"imx-image-full",
"imx-image-core", etc.
