[yocto] Using Yocto with NXP QorIQ Processors

[Chris Trobridge]

Thanks Zhenhua,
That sounds more positive.
One think that has been pointed out to me is that there are community layers that are support outside of NXP that sit between Yocto and NXP (http://freescale.github.io/#) that track issues etc more actively.  These does not appear to involve the ppc processors so are the arm processors more actively supported? (I presume this just depends on the community support.)
We use the original pcc qoriq processors and so would be interested in ppc support but that's still more of a future project.  Relative support arm vs ppc would be a consideration but the meta-fsl-layer in yocto is reassuring (I didn't manage to find it before!).

Hi Chris,

 
The QorIQ SDK uses recent Yocto version, e.g. the SDK 2.0  is based on Yocto 2.0(Jethro).  When the SDK is formally released in Q2/2016, the SDK recipes will
 be upstreamed to master of community layers.
 
You can use either SDK ISOs available in NXP official website(www.nxp.com) or the BSP layers in Yocto website (http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/).


·        
QorIQ ARM targets: meta-fsl-arm

·        
QorIQ PPC targets: meta-fsl-ppc

 
 
Best Regards,
 
Zhenhua

Has anyone attempted to use the Qoriq BSP layers with them main Yocto release rather than the NXP (ex Freescale) SDK they come bundled in?

 


I ask because the NXP SDK is somewhat behind the main Yocto release schedule.


 


It should be easier to port the BSP to the current Yocto but I have no idea what issues I am likely to hit.


 


I will try this at some point when I have enough free time but for planning purposes I would interested in how anyone else has got on attempting this.


 


Are Qoriq users restricted to the official SDK or would they get third-party support?


 


Regards,


Chris
