Re: iMX28 EVK GUI development

OtavioSalvador · ‎02-01-2013

You may want to take a look in Yocto; if you want a custom toolchain with GTK/Qt or other toolkit you wish can be made and you easily cross compile your app to run in your iMX28 board.

Take a look at https://community.freescale.com/docs/DOC-94023; this does not cover the toolchain building (and depending on your need you may need to prefer to contact someone to make a customized one for you) but it covers the basics to get Yocto running.

Hi Otavio,

According to do experiment, get the touch misalignment result as above.

If possible cause by fsl BSP's ADC setting?

Thanks again.

fabio_estevam · ‎03-08-2013

Which kernel are you using: 2.6.35 or 3.8?

thomaslin · ‎03-10-2013

Linux imx28evk 2.6.35.3-10.12.01+yocto+gc0879e9

OtavioSalvador · ‎03-18-2013

I've sent a 3.8 update to meta-fsl-arm and it includes a fix done by MarekVasut which fixes the offset problem we had. You may give it a try?

thomaslin · ‎03-18-2013

How to get it? Do repo sync to update?

OtavioSalvador · ‎03-19-2013

I have applied it in master so you need to do a 'repo sync' and also change virtual/kernel to use linux-fslc.

thomaslin · ‎03-19-2013

Hi Otavio

I do the process as below, any miss plz correct

1. del gui tmp folder

2. git clone meta-fsl-arm and replace linux-fslc folder into sources folder

3. repo, bitbake fsl-image-gui.

Thanks your help again.

OtavioSalvador · ‎03-20-2013

You're doing it wrong.

remove tmp dir than add to your local.conf file:

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux-fslc"

Build the image.

:-) Simple :-)

thomaslin · ‎04-07-2013

Hi Otavio,

Reinstall Ubuntu 10.04 and add the local.conf file:

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux-fslc"

Then bitbake fsl-image-gul.

Can't find out .sdcard file in image folder. What procedure I miss?

List local.conf content as below

OtavioSalvador · ‎04-08-2013

What image did you use for the build? I usually use core-image-base to check all is fine before to use a bigger image.

thomaslin · ‎04-11-2013

Hi Otavio,

My machine is iMX28EVK. But can't saw my machine in COMPATIBLE_MACHINE.

Is it the problem cause?

OtavioSalvador · ‎04-11-2013

Your machine uses 'mxs' SoC so this is indeed compatible.

The fetch failure is a problem of github. I open issues with them from time to time about this and usually the fix it in a day :-(

I will report the same issue once again.

You seem to be running a up to date tree... could you please join the mailing list so more people can help you there? I need to gather more information from you to reproduce this. This is all better done in the mailing list.

OtavioSalvador · ‎03-21-2013

I think it might be caused by the upgrade. It is not Yocto related (except by the amount of use of memory).

Return to Ubuntu 10.4.4, Got fail. Do it before. The build process is ok??
