SD image for a working full Linux Distro with Accelerated Graphics for IMX6 Sabre Lite

[RodneyFulk]

Does anyone have a fully working accelerated graphics Linux Distribution?

I have the boundary devices Sabre Lite IMX6 board and I am looking for a full Linux distribution that will run on this board.

I have Boundary devices Capacitive screen hooked to this board.

I tried the oneric image and it was extremly slow.

I have not tried the Yocto builds yet. I am new to building a distribution and I really just need a fully functional distro for my project.

I was able to load up the Android 4.2.2 SD image I found and it was very responsive as I would expect.

I do have an LTIB build I was able to run but it did not have X11 support in it and only interacted with the console. I recently downloaded the new LTIB posted but have not tried using them yet. But seems like a lot of work to just get a Linux Distro running on the board. (Mainly I want a full distro so I know it has all of the software and libraries I need for building projects since I have no clue what I need otherwise. )

Hi Rodney.

In case of Linux, Yocto is pretty active right now, and Sabrelite are supported. So give it a try, you may choose fsl--image-gui image as a start.

Thanks, will have to give this a try.

It appears we need to have a working SD image and you take that image and write over the FS partition?

The sdcard image has all the system (bootloader + kernel + FS) , so just flash it to the SD :smileyhappy:
