Creating yocto image for freescale device is pretty easy . I recommend you to use any Ubuntu flavored Linux for your build server.
Now It’s the time to install the dependencies for yocto . Run the below command in terminal
sudo apt-get install gawk wget git-core diffstat unzip texinfo gcc-multilib build-essential chrpath libsdl1.2-dev xterm
Go to your home directory and create a folder named yocto-fsl
mkdir -p yocto-fsl
Let’s go to yocto-fsl folder.
cd yocto-fsl git clone -b jethro git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky.git
Now we need to download all the freescale bsp along with the yocto using repo tool.
curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > repo
chmod a+x ./repo
./repo init -u https://github.com/Freescale/fsl-community-bsp-platform -b master
repo sync
Now you need to call the setup-environment script to initialize the build environment for freescale boards.
source ./setup-environment build
You can find a directory named build in the current directory ,Let’s go to build directory
cd build
Now we need to update the configuration field named machine as nitrogen6x
vi conf/local.conf
We are ready,Run the below command .
bitbake fsl-image-multimedia or bitbake fsl-image-machine-test (Minimal version)
Once the above command executes successfully,you can find the image in build/temp/images folder . The image with the extension .sdcard can be used directly with dd command to copy it into your storage device.
