What's the deal with the BSP for the i.MX6ULL? I see commits and patches that suggest support in meta-freescale, but the machine confs are nowhere to be found.

There isn't support for the i.MX6ULL evk in meta-freescale.

There's a paper trail for work being completed on i.MX6ULL support in meta-freescale, though it doesn't seem to be in master, or master-next branches of the Freescale repo, or the mirrored Yocto repo.

Evidence:

https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/meta-freescale/2016-October/019308.html

https://github.com/Freescale/meta-freescale/commit/79e2309191ad06fae57f20fd3a5288de2ec745bc

http://git.yoctoproject.org/clean/cgit.cgi/meta-freescale/commit/?id=f26c70a219e39919fa4ea35032b0af7...

I'm eager to start development on the i.MX6ULL and I'd prefer not to set up the BSP myself.

Anyone have any idea what's going on with this?

Hello Pavlo Manovi,

The latest Linux BSP Release (L4.1.15_2.0.0) does support the i.MX6ULL. You can download the documentation from the link below (please note that you may need to login in order to download this file):

https://www.nxp.com/webapp/Download?colCode=L4.1.15_2.0.0-LINUX-DOCS&Parent_nodeId=14733697541667378...

I hope this information helps!

If you do a 'fresh' git and git sync - > and if you use the exact same command line commands as proposed by the Yocto Project User's Guide in that link then you will find there are no IMX6ULL EVK conf files exactly as proposed by the original post. This issue is not addressed.

Here is a list of the current machines following the sync...

$:~/fsl-release-bsp/sources/meta-fsl-arm/conf/machine$ ls

imx23evk.conf  imx6dlsabreauto.conf  imx6qsabresd.conf       imx6sxsabresd.conf  twr-vf65gs10.conf

imx28evk.conf  imx6dlsabresd.conf    imx6slevk.conf          imx6ulevk.conf

imx51evk.conf  imx6qpsabreauto.conf  imx6solosabreauto.conf  imx7dsabresd.conf

imx53ard.conf  imx6qpsabresd.conf    imx6solosabresd.conf    include

imx53qsb.conf  imx6qsabreauto.conf   imx6sxsabreauto.conf    ls1021atwr.conf

Please note that this above list does not include any IMX6ULL EVKs exactly as proposed by the original post.

Thoughts?

I withdraw my previous comment. :smileyhappy:  The IMX6ULL conf files do show up after getting part of the way through the instructions in chapter 5 of the 'i.MX_Yocto_Project_User's_Guide.pdf' which is in the 'fsl-yocto-L4.1.15_2.0.0-ga' set of docs release that gusarambula mentions above. Life is good. :smileyhappy:
