Yocto build : MACHINE=imx8mqevk is invalid

[theophileleroy]

Hello,

When following "i.MX Yocto Project User's Guide" instructions on how to setup Yocto repo and build an image, after setting up my host machine and trying to build an image, the machine  "imx8mqevk" is not recognized by Yocto as an available machine.

I checked the folder where all the machines are listed and indeed no conf file for imx 8 m SOM. I tried repo sync but still, no update solved the problem. Any clue?

Thanks,

what bsp version do you use? did you build successfully before set the build configuration?

bsprelease i.MX Linux Yocto Project BSP 4.9.88-2.0.0_ga Release

No, I didn't build succesufully beofre setting up this conf.

I don't think 18.04 is support. Please see release notes. Not that this is the issue, but it will lead to a bunch of other issues because of compiler versions.
