Yocto HOB configuration issue

[sumanranjan]

We are using Yocto build system for IMX6 platform. We want to use HOB for package selection or removal. Host system is Ubuntu 12.04.

In the HOB user interface, We selected ‘imx6qsabresd’ as machine type and ‘core-image-base’ as the base image type. After that if we select 'edit image' and try to add ‘gpu-viv-bin-mx6q’ as it is not part of ‘core-image-base’ then HOB throws below error.

../fsl-community-bsp/build$ hob

Any idea what is causing above error ?

Hi, Suman

It is a bug for Yocto on iMX6Q board and i have faced with the same defect also! In my opinion, now there are no better solution for this problem. I hope that Yocto 1.6 for freescale bsp will resolve it. As a workaround, you can use bitbake -c CMD(deploy) instead of  graphic interface as many engineers do. In addition, Yocto 1.6 for iMX6Q should be released in following months.

Thanks Tao for your reply.

I have started using bitbake commands for yocto build since I could not work around the issue.

Is your bitbake command good? If yes, we are going to close the discussion in 3 days. If you still need help, please feel free to reply with an update to this discussion.

Thanks,

Did anybody answer this question? I ran into the same problem and I was about to edit the image and add 'gpu-viv-bin-mx6q' until  saw your results ...
