build imx8 kernel fail

[kayiyeh]

Dear All,

I am new in this area. I tried to follow the instruction https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/user-guide/i.MX_Yocto_Project_User  to build a imx8qevk image. I followed all the instruction from the beginning step by step and I found imx8mqevk is supported. After executing the fsl-setup-releash.sh described in section 5.1 of the document with MACHINE=imx8mqevk DISTRO=poky, there is no error message. However, I execute  "bitbake core-image-minimal" then an error message shows up immediately said that "imx8mqevk" is not supported. I changed the MACHINE to "imx6slevk" then it works.

Could anyone kindliy tell me what's wrong?

Hello Ka-Yi,

Are you using the BSP for L4.9.88_2.0.0? It could be that your repo was initialized to an older BSP which does not support the i.MX8MEVK.

You can download the documentation for this BSP on the link below (you may need to login to download this documentation bundle).

I hope this helps!
