Where can I get an i.MX6 toolchain to build 5.15.71

[michaelworster]

I have a product using the i.MX6DL processor which is running off an older NXP supported kernel (4.1.15).

In order to build this kernel code I start by sourcing a bash script, which I'm pretty sure came from old Freescale instructions. The command is:

 source environment-setup-cortexa9hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi

After this it's possible to run:

make menuconfig
make zImage LOADADDR=0x10008000

and end with a bootable kernel image for the i.MX6DL. When i follow these steps now I get:

arch/arm/mach-at91/pm_suspend.S: Assembler messages:
arch/arm/mach-at91/pm_suspend.S:1086: Error: garbage following instruction -- `ldr tmp1,=0x00020010UL'
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:391: arch/arm/mach-at91/pm_suspend.o] Error 1
make: *** [Makefile:1898: arch/arm/mach-at91] Error 2

Is this not the correct way to build on the newer NXP kernels? is this no longer the supported toolchain?

What is the proper way to build lf-5.15.y from scratch (not via bitbake) for the i.MX6DL SABER board?

Hi @michaelworster, 

Unfortunately, for our newest BSP's, you will need to use The Yocto Project with the bitbake commands to generate the toolchain, after you get this toolchain, you can build using your described method.

I hope this information will be helpful. 

Have a great day!
