Can I use softfp vivante drivers with Yocto?

[davecbluechip]

Hi there,

I have a customer who wants to add vivante support to an existing softfp rootfs (their own custom distro).

At the moment I have supplied them a Yocto distro as a proof-of-concept (based on Dora branch, using hardfp).

I have seen this post https://community.freescale.com/message/372390#372390 which tells me how to persuade Yocto to use softfp for compilation. But how would I tell Yocto I want the softfp versions of pre-compiled binaries (in particular the vivante drivers)?

Is there a setting in conf/local.conf, or do I need a new recipe or something else?

All comments very welcome.

Actually found the answer elsewhere, but thought it might be helpful for others to put it here as well.

I added this line to conf/local.conf :

DEFAULTTUNE_mx6 = "cortexa9-neon"

Then did a complete rebuild and I get a softfp kernel as well as softfp rootfs, including vivante drivers.
