iMX6Q: Yocto mini-image

[Tarek]

Hi,

What is the smallest minimum image to bitbake in Yocto that provides GStreamer and HW acceleration with no GUI nor X ?

Also is BSP 4.0.0 full integrated now in the dylan branch? if not when is it expected to be released and in which branch?

Thanks

The BSP 4.0 is available, in community BSP, only in master branch.

We're maintaining a set of custom BSPs for customers (at O.S. Systems) with this ported to dylan.

I'm not interested in the GPU drivers. All I need is the latest MM codecs and Gstreamer as well as the the latest kernel fixes.

Which branch shall I use, Master or dylan ?

Thanks

The 3.0.7 MM codec is in master (of community). For use dylan with it, you'll need to maintain a backport or use one vendor to do it for you.

There are three Freescale Images,

$ bitbake-layers show-recipes | grep image | grep fsl

Parsing recipes..done.

fsl-image-gui:

fsl-image-gui-sdk:

fsl-image-test:

And the smallest you can get with GSTreamer FSL plugins is fsl-image-test

$ cat ../sources/meta-fsl-demos/recipes-fsl/images/fsl-image-test.bb

include recipes-core/images/core-image-base.bb

IMAGE_FEATURES += "debug-tweaks"

SOC_EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES ?= "tools-testapps"

# Add extra image features

EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES += " \

    ${SOC_EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES} \

    nfs-server \

    tools-debug \

    tools-profile \

"

IMAGE_INSTALL += " \

    packagegroup-fsl-gstreamer \

    packagegroup-fsl-tools-testapps \

    packagegroup-fsl-tools-benchmark \

"

export IMAGE_BASENAME = "fsl-image-test"
