Unable to build IMX-TEST for IMX8MP Module

[kanakshilledar]

I am trying to build IMX-TEST for the Verdin iMX8M Plus SOM based on the iMX8MP SoC.

What PLATFORM name should I use for the Verdin SOM?

I have the 5.15 kernel source along with arm64 toolchain on Ubuntu 22.04

aarch64-none-linux-gnu-gcc (Arm GNU Toolchain 12.3.Rel1 (Build arm-12.35)) 12.3.1 20230626

While building I am getting the following error.

Hi @kanakshilledar!

Thank you for contacting NXP Support!

I compile the imx-test without errors using the Yocto toolchain.

Try to use the Yocto toolchain.

If you don't have the Yocto toolchain, you can compile using the next command:

bitbake imx-image-full -c populate_sdk

install SDK:

tmp/deploy/sdk/xxx.sh

use SDK:

source /opt/fsl-imx-xwayland/xxx/environment-setup-aarch64-xxxx

Best Regards!

@Chavira
Thank you for your reply!
I am trying to build it outside of the yocto system.
So any way to get it working?

Best Regards

Hi @kanakshilledar!
Thank you for contacting NXP Support!

You only have to compile the toolchain for your target and then you can compile without Yocto using the toolchain generated by Yocto.

After that, you can compile in standalone all of our sources.

Hi @Chavira !
I have built the yocto toolchain with the above steps. Could you please provide the PLATFORM variable for IMX8MP SoC. As I am targeting the Verdin iMX8M Plus SOM (https://www.toradex.com/computer-on-modules/verdin-arm-family/nxp-imx-8m-plus).
Thanks!

Hi @kanakshilledar!

You can use the imx8mpevk target for iMX8MP
