SDK for IMX8M PLUS

[parvathitp]

Hello,
I am starting development with the i.MX 8M Plus processor and I need guidance on which SDK/toolchain to use to build my projects and generate binaries that will run on the processor.

For the CORTEX A53 (Linux/Android side):
 -Should I use the NXP BSP for building Linux images and applications?
 -For application development (e.g., Qt GUI, multimedia), do I use the SDK/toolchain generated from (cross-compilation environment), or is there a separate SDK package?

Hi @parvathitp,
Thank you for contacting NXP Support!

For Linux development, you can use the ARM toolchain; however, I recommend generating the Yocto SDK to obtain a fully compatible toolchain for cross-compiling your applications.

You can find the Yocto SDK deployment instructions at the following link:
