I am attempting to build a directfb build. Out of the box, core-image-directfb fails because something includes x11 and they cannot co-exist. I exclude x11, and build again, and I get:
Computing transaction...error: Can't install packagegroup-core-directfb-1.0-r0@smarc_samx6i: no package provides libvivante-dfb-mx6
I see this error a couple times in different earlier posts. I tried setting PREFERRED_VERSION_directfb = "1.6.3" in my local.conf, but it makes no difference (perhaps I am doing it wrong?).
We are doing daily builds of DirectFB[1] and they are successful.

I think you might have not removed the other distro features.
You need:
DISTRO_FEATURES_remove = "x11 wayland"
DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " directfb"
Hi Dominic,
Currently this was a bug in BSP, fix and update are on DFB 1.7v, in your case I suggest use the DFB in meta-fsl-arm 1.6.3 from dora branch until vivante graphics drivers are updated.
Hope this helps
