iMX6 linux development

[Chicago1984]

I am having some development system startup issues with ltib on the i.MX6.  I have seen that some people use yocto, which also is giving me headaches.  I would rather work at a low level, with the kernel source code and a functional file system, I am having problems getting a cross-compiled app to work with the existing linux SD cards that we have. What other paths are developers using?

The following may be helpful for Linux applications development.

"AN3870  Developing an Application for the i.MX Devices on Linux Platform"

The next app note may be useful in debugging :

"AN4553 Using Open Source Debugging Tools for Linux on i.MX Processors."

Have a great day,
Yuri

Hi Shahzad, we simply use mainline Linux kernel and buildroot to build a simple root file system to test out things on our sabre SD board.

Hope this helps

Shahzad, your headaches are understandable :smileyhappy: Yocto is a completely different system but it is the way to go for integrating your packages/drivers. What are the specific problems you have? Are you using the cross-toolchain produced by bitbake?
