i.MX6: How to add meta-java for hardknott?

[scottikenaga]

Currently, there is no hardknott branch for meta-java so how do I add meta-java layer for the hardknott branch. I'm using the latest release, imx-5.10.52-2.1.0 manifest for my i.MX6 custom target board. I need to add openjdk-8 support to my yocto build image.

Hello scottikenaga,

The meta -java still not supported in hardknott branch you can stay in gatesgarth that is 5.10.35 or you can migrate yourself:

Do you happen to know what the EOL dates are for NXP's Gatesgarth and Hardknott releases? Can you point me to this info?

We moved to Hardknott since it was a newer release.

Additionally, how are others adding openjdk and java support to NXP's Hardknott release? 

Thanks for getting back.

Regards,

Scott

Hi,

Every six months the yocto and kernel are update, there is no opendk to hardknott yet.

For others that come across this thread, my solution was to use the master branch. It works for what I need to do. Probably not the best solution until a Hardknott branch is added for meta-java.
