Installing Packages in IMX6ull

[athul_am]

Hi,

I have just acquired the latest imx6 board and i am trying install some libraries in it.

I tried using apt,apt-get commands but that  doesnt work as i am using the image given in the box itself.

So can someone please let me know if i can install libraries in the board and if it is possible how to do it?

I am using the board for this 1st time so any help will be really good.

i am using imx6ull and the OS the image has is NXP i.mx Release Distro version 4.9.88-2.0.0

Thanks and Regards,

hi @Chavira ,

i have build an image using the steps in the guide for IMx6. i can see the file with extension .wic.zst. i would like to know how to flash this into an sdcard.
i understand this is the command to run :

uuu -b sd_all <bootloader> <rootfs (.wic)>

 but my problem is i cant understand which bootloader file to use as there as multiple files iwt name u-boot and in this example i can see the files used are having extension sd.bin_flas_evk but i cant find a file with this extension in my folder.

Can you please let me know the file to be used as bootloader.

Also when i try the above command with the file as u-boot.imx i get

Wait for unknown drivers...

kind of errors. even though the card reader is detected by the system.

I am using a VM for building 

Please help me if you have any suggestion or solution to this

Hi,

Since i cant install any library i am trying to cross compile the libraries i need to do install using a toolchain the toolchain i am using for the same is https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Files/downloads/gnu/13.2.rel1/binrel/arm-gnu-toolchain-13.2.rel1-x...

i am able to compile the boost lib but not the the openssl and vsomeip libs i get compiler broken for vsomeip and crypto/aes/aesv8-armx.S: Assembler messages:
crypto/aes/aesv8-armx.S:4: Error: unknown architecture `armv8-a+crypto' error for openssl 

Am i using the wrong toolchain or this is some other issue?

Thanks,

Hi @athul_am!

You have to compile the toolchain.

Please check the next guide for the same.

Hi,

Thank you for the Response.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi @athul_am!

No, only with the Yocto Project.

Sorry for the mistake!

Hi @athul_am!

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.

Best Regads!
