IMX8 EVK8mmini IotCore compilation fails

[MusAlh]

Dear NXP support,

I am using currently EVK8MMINI and i am trying to compile and build an FFU image for the iotcore.

What i have done already:

1. fresh installation of Win 10 1089 (10.0.17763.1).

2. VC++ with the Arm and Arm64 packages + SDK 10.0.17763.132

3.  install ADK 10.0.17763.1

4. install WDK 10.0.17763.1

5. install IotCore packages (Arm + Arm 64) v. 10.0.17763.253.

I have followed all the instructions presented in the NXP manual to compile the image, but it was always failing with:

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State

I have removed the HAL files because they were causing also other failures.

Aprat from this, i have tried to create the image based on the BSPs from the ADD_oN_KIT, and i faced the follwoing errors when building the FFU:

Processing NXPEVK_iMX8M_Mini_2GBFMFileList.xml

Please guide me if i need something else to compile the image. Thanx!
