imx8 desktop system xfce

[gaobo]

Hi:all

I want to create a desktop system (like xfce)base on imx8mqevk.I saw meta-xfce in the yocto project.How to configure it to work?

kernel：4.14.78

image：fsl-image-qt5-validation-imx

Here the steps I did:

1. let the bblayer.conf know meta-xfce

BBLAYERS += " ${BSPDIR}/sources/meta-xfce "

2. add packagegroup to fsl-image-qt5-validation-imx.bb

CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += "packagegroup-xfce-base"

3. then bitbake

 DISTRO=fsl-imx-xwayland MACHINE=imx8mqevk source fsl-setup-release.sh -b build-xwayland

 bitbake fsl-image-qt5-validation-imx

4. run startxfce4 in boardhow to solve this problem，please give me some advices，thanks！

Hello gao,

The MX8 not support X11 is based on weston, the xcfe will not work. Or if you want to try the ubuntu that our third party make:
