IOT-GATE-IMX8PLUS and SBC-IOT-IMX8PLUS: Yocto Linux: Building Yocto images
Overview
The Yocto Project is an open-source collaboration focused on embedded Linux development.
The purpose of this article is to show how to build a Yocto image for the IOT-GATE-IMX8PLUS Internet of Things Gateway and SBC-IOT-IMX8PLUS Single Board Computer.
Docker Host for Yocto Build Environment
There are often compatibility issues between different Linux distributions and the dependencies required for Yocto compilation.
In order to avoid such issues and simplify the host machine configuration process, Compulab recommends to use a pre-configured Docker environment.
Please follow the instructions outlined in Setting up Yocto Build Docker Environment.
Building Yocto Images
Set up the Yocto build environment and build the image as detailed in the Building IOT-GATE-IMX8PLUS / SBC-IOT-IMX8PLUS Yocto Linux images guide.
