To install rust and cargo package as images when building yocto

[Anonymous]

I am using 5.15.72.

When I do imx full image, I try to include rust and cargo.
Do you know how?

I realized that what I asked was wrong.
What I actually need is a cross_compiler of rust and cargo in the image after build.

Hi @Anonymous !

If you want to compile in the Host machine you must use the Yocto toolchain for that work.

If you want to include the compilers on the image of the iMX you can add the next line in the local.conf with the packages that you want in your iMX image.

CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += "name of the package".

Do you know which package it is?
What I want is
https://github.com/rust-embedded/meta-rust-bin/tree/master
It works.

That is, "pre-built toolchains for the Rust programming language" are included inside the imx image.

Hi @Anonymous!

Yes, that package is included in iMX images.

Thank you for contacting NXP Support!

Inside the open embedded Layer exist those packages.

You can consult the installed packages in Open Embedded Layer by following the link.
