3 Download Yocto based on Freescale Community BSP
$ git config --global user.name "Your Name" $ git config --global user.email "Your Email" $ mkdir ~/bin (this step may not be needed if the bin folder already exists) $ curl https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo $ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo $ export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
$ mkdir $ cd
Now, choose between downloading a release tag, and downloading the latest revision (recommended) and follow only one of the next two bullet sections, accordingly:
- Download a release tag
Each release in https://github.com/varigit/variscite-bsp-platform/releases corresponds to a tag.
The tags are also listed in https://github.com/varigit/variscite-bsp-platform/tags
To specify a specific release/tag, run the following:
$ repo init -u https://github.com/varigit/variscite-bsp-platform.git -b refs/tags/TAG_NAME For example: $ repo init -u https://github.com/varigit/variscite-bsp-platform.git -b refs/tags/ $ repo sync -j4
or
- Download the latest revision (recommended)
$ repo init -u -b $ repo sync -j4
4 Setup and build Yocto
4.1 Supported images
The following images are provided by Variscite for evaluation purpose
- fsl-image-gui: Default Variscite demo image with GUI and without any Qt5 content. This image recipe works on all backends for X11, Frame Buffer and Wayland and the content is optimized to fit 512MB NAND flash.
- fsl-image-qt5: Extends fsl-image-gui image with Qt5 support and various Qt samples for X11, Frame Buffer and Wayland backends.
The following images are provided by FSL Community BSP:
- fsl-image-machine-test: A console-only image that includes gstreamer packages and test and benchmark applications.
- fsl-image-mfgtool-initramfs: Small image to be used with Manufacturing Tool (mfg-tool) in a production environment.
See the list of Yocto Project’s reference images in Yocto Project Reference Manual
4.2 Supported distros
The following distros can be used:
- fsl-imx-x11: Distro for X11 without wayland. This distro include x11 feature and doesn’ has wayland support.
- fsl-imx-fb: Distro for Framebuffer graphical backend. This distro doesn’t include X11 and wayland features.
- fsl-imx-wayland: Distro for Wayland without X11. This distro includes wayland feature but doesn’t have x11 support.
- fsl-imx-xwayland: Distro for Wayland with X11. This distro includes both wayland and X11 features.
Note: Also standard Poky distros can be used
4.3 Build XWayland GUI demo image
$ cd $ MACHINE= DISTRO=
The above command is only mandatory for the very first build setup: whenever restarting a newer build session (from a different terminal or in a different time), you can skip the full setup and just run
$ cd $ source setup-environment
Optional steps: local.conf customization
launch bitbake:
Without Qt content: $ bitbake fsl-image-gui Or with Qt content: $ bitbake fsl-image-qt5
4.4 Build console-only demo image
$ cd $ MACHINE= DISTRO=
Optional steps: local.conf customization
Without Qt content: $ bitbake fsl-image-gui Or with Qt content: $ bitbake fsl-image-qt5
4.5 local.conf customization
4.5.1 Change the downloads directory
Create a /opt/yocto_downloads directory and set its permissions:
$ sudo mkdir /opt/yocto_downloads $ sudo chmod 777 /opt/yocto_downloads/
Direct downloads to it, by replacing 'DL_DIR ?= "${BSPDIR}/downloads/"' with 'DL_DIR = "/opt/yocto_downloads/"' in conf/local.conf under your build directory:
$ sed -i 's/DL_DIR ?= "${BSPDIR}\/downloads/DL_DIR = "\/opt\/yocto_downloads/g' conf/local.conf
4.5.2 Add Eclipse debug and Qt creator support to your images
Append the following to the conf/local.conf file in your Yocto build directory, to add Eclipse debug and Qt creator support to your images:
EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES = " \ debug-tweaks \ tools-debug \ eclipse-debug \ " IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " \ tcf-agent \ openssh-sftp-server \ "
4.5.3 Use systemd instead of SysV init
Append the following to the conf/local.conf file in your Yocto build directory, to use systemd instead of SysV init in your images:
DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " systemd" DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED_append = " sysvinit" VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_init_manager = "systemd" VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_initscripts = "" IMX_DEFAULT_DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " systemd"
4.5.4 Create a read-only root file system
Append the following to the conf/local.conf file in your Yocto build directory, to create a read-only rootfs:
EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES += "read-only-rootfs"

7.4.1 Flash from GUI
Touch/Click on the appropriate icon:
- Install Yocto NAND, WiFi: Flash Yocto with WiFi support to NAND flash
- Install Yocto NAND, SD card: Flash Yocto with SD card support to NAND flash
- Install Yocto eMMC (SD/WiFi) : Flash Yocto to eMMC (installs both SD card and WiFi dtbs to the BOOT partition and let U-Boot select between them at boot time)
7.5 Setting the Boot Mode
Booting your system from an SD card requires switching the Boot DIP switches. See picture below.
- "00" The current position in the picture will set the system to boot from SD card
- "01" Moving the right switch will set the system to boot from eMMC
- "10" Moving the left switch will set the system to boot from NAND flash
- "11" is illegal.
Booting your system from an SD card requires switching the Boot DIP switches. See picture below.
On the VAR-6ULCustomBoard (with a DART-6UL):
- "00" The current position in the picture will set the system to boot from SD card
- "01" Moving the right switch will set the system to boot from eMMC
- "10" Moving the left switch will set the system to boot from NAND flash
- "11" is illegal.
On the Concerto-Board (with a VAR-SOM-6UL):
- ON-EXT: Boot from the external storage (SD card) - the current position in the picture
- OFF-INT: Boot from the SOM's internal storage (eMMC/NAND flash)
7.6 Using only one Ethernet port
Apply the following patch to the Linux kernel source, for removing the second Ethernet port, in case your own custom carrier board only has one and doesn't have the second Ethernet phy:

Notes:
- You can follow the "Build Linux from source code" guide to get the Linux kernel source, apply the above patch, build only the device trees and copy them to your SD card.
- In older kernel releases where there is no imx6ul-imx6ull-var-dart-common.dtsi file, the relevant file to edit is called imx6ul-var-dart.dtsi
To remove the second Ethernet port, in case your own custom carrier board only has one and doesn't have the second Ethernet phy:
Edit the dtsi file of the reference carrier board in the Linux kernel source and remove the &fec1 and &fec2 nodes from it.
In case of the VAR-6ULCustomBoard (DART-6UL carrier), the file is arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6ul-imx6ull-var-dart-6ulcustomboard.dtsi.
In case of the Concerto-Board (VAR-SOM-6UL carrier), the file is arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6ul-imx6ull-var-som-concerto-board.dtsi.
The above will result in using the &fec1 node from the dtsi file of the SOM, as is (as the phy of the first Ethernet port is on the SOM), without adding the second port (which its phy is on the reference carrier board).

- You can follow the "Build Linux from source code" guide to get the Linux kernel source, apply the above patch, build only the device trees and copy them to your SD card.

17 Create a bootable SD card
17.1 SD card structure
This is the structure of our Recovery/Extended SD card:
The SD card is divided into 2 sections as shown in the picture above:
- The first unallocated 8MiB section reserved for U-Boot. It can be replaced using the dd command as described in the Yocto Build U-Boot section.
- The first partition is an ext4 partition that contains the complete root filesystem (including kernel image and device tree files under /boot).
Note:
The last unallocated area is not used. It is there so that the rootfs will fit on any 4GB SD card, as not all 4GB SD cards are really the same size. If you want, you can use a program such as GParted to resize the roofs partition and make it end at the end of your specific SD card (of course, you can also use SD cards with much bigger capacity than 4GB, and then it makes more sense to resize the partition).
Also, if you create the extended SD card yourself by following the Create an extended SD card section below, and you use the '-a' option, the rootfs partition will end at the end of your specific SD card automatically.
17.2 Yocto pre-built bootable SD card
The Yocto build products contains many files as explained in the Build Results section. For example, fsl-image-gui-imx8qm-var-som.wic.gz, depending on your build. This is a complete image to be flashed directly to an SD card.
Example usage:
$ sudo umount /dev/sdX*
# For GUI-XWAYLAND & Qt5-XWAYLAND $ cd ~/var-fslc-yocto/build_xwayland Or # For GUI-WAYLAND & Qt5-WAYLAND $ cd ~/var-fslc-yocto/build_wayland # For fsl-image-gui image (GUI-XWAYLAND & GUI-WAYLAND) $ zcat tmp/deploy/images/imx8qm-var-som/fsl-image-gui-imx8qm-var-som.wic.gz | sudo dd of=/dev/sdX bs=1M conv=fsync Or # For fsl-image-qt5 image (Qt5-XWAYLAND & Qt5-WAYLAND) $ zcat tmp/deploy/images/imx8qm-var-som/fsl-image-qt5-imx8qm-var-som.wic.gz | sudo dd of=/dev/sdX bs=1M conv=fsync
Replace sdX with the right device name. This can be obtained by "dmesg" command on your host Linux PC, after the SD card reader is inserted.
- Note: Booting your system from an SD card requires pressing the boot-select button, or switching the relevant DIP switch to "Boot from SD card", according to the relevant start-up guide of your system
Drawbacks of the native .wic.gz yocto-built image, (relative to the Recovery/Extended SD card):
- The rootfs partition doesn't use the entire SD card.
- The rootfs partition is not labeled as rootfs.
- The NAND flash and eMMC installation scripts and images are not included.
17.3 Create an extended SD card
Variscite provides the var-create-yocto-sdcard.sh script which creates our NAND/eMMC recovery SD card - an SD card based on the fsl-image-gui filesystem, which copies the NAND flash burning scripts and relevant binaries for your convenience.
Later, you will be able to follow either the more automatic Yocto Recovery SD card guide or the more manual VAR-SOM-MX6 NAND flash burning guide to burn your images to NAND flash or eMMC.
Note:
This is essentially the same as our pre-built Recovery SD image, with the following main differences:
- The pre-built image's rootfs partition size is 3700MiB, which is also the default size when using the script, but the script also has an option to set the rootfs partition size to fill the whole free space of the used SD card. Anyway, you can always resize the partition later with an external tool such as gparted.
Naturally, the pre-built image is more straight forward and easier to use, while the script method is easier to customize.
Usage:
- Follow the Setup and build Yocto guide, and bitbake fsl-image-gui.
- Plug-in the SD card to your Linux HOST PC, run dmesg and see which device is added (i.e. /dev/sdX or /dev/mmcblkX)
$ cd ~/var-fslc-yocto $ sudo MACHINE=imx8qm-var-som sources/meta-variscite-imx/scripts/var_mk_yocto_sdcard/var-create-yocto-sdcard.sh <options> /dev/sdX (Replace /dev/sdX with your actual device)
options: -h Display help message -s Only show partition sizes to be written, without actually write them -a Automatically set the rootfs partition size to fill the SD card -r Select alternative rootfs for recovery images (default: build_x11/tmp/deploy/images/imx8qm-var-som/fsl-image-gui-imx8qm-var-som.*)
If you don't use the '-a' option, a default rootfs size of 3700MiB will be used The '-r' option allows you to create a bootable SD card with an alternative image for the installation to NAND flash or eMMC. Example: "-r tmp/deploy/images/imx8qm-var-som/fsl-image-qt5-imx8qm-var-som" -- selected the "Qt5 image with X11" recovery image
17.3.1 Create an extended SD card image using a loop device
It is also possible to use the var-create-yocto-sdcard.sh script to create an extended SD card image, while using a loop device instead of attaching a real SD card.
Create an empty file using the following command:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=imx8qm-var-som-extended-sd.img bs=1M count=3720
The above command creates a 3700MiB file representing the SD card.
Attach the first available loop device to this file:
$ sudo losetup -Pf imx8qm-var-som-extended-sd.img
To find the actual loop device being used, run:
$ losetup -a | grep imx8qm-var-som-extended-sd.img
Write the content to the loop device to generate the SD card image:
$ sudo MACHINE=imx8qm-var-som sources/meta-variscite-imx/scripts/var_mk_yocto_sdcard/var-create-yocto-sdcard.sh <options> /dev/loopX
(Replace /dev/loopX with your actual loop device, e.g. /dev/loop0)
Detach the loop device from the file:
$ sudo losetup -d /dev/loopX
To compress the SD card image file use the following command:
$ gzip -9 imx8qm-var-som-extended-sd.img
To write the SD card image to a real SD card device use the following command:
$ zcat imx8qm-var-som-extended-sd.img.gz | sudo dd of=/dev/sdX bs=1M && sync
(Replace /dev/sdX with your actual SD device, e.g. /dev/sdb)
18 Boot the board with a bootable SD card
18.1 Setting the Boot Mode
Make sure the BOOT SELECT DIP switch on the carrier board is set correctly before you power on the board.

19 Flash images to NAND/eMMC
Please refer to Yocto NAND Flash Burning guide.
20 Yocto Image Customization
20.1 Update Yocto Dunfell to latest revision
From time to time we update the Yocto sources (especially meta-variscite) with new features and bug fixes.
Follow the Download the latest revision (recommended) bullet section of the Download Yocto Dunfell based on Freescale Community BSP step again to update your tree to the latest revision, and rebuild your image.
20.2 Update Yocto Dunfell to a release tag
Follow the Download a release tag bullet section of the Download Yocto Dunfell based on Freescale Community BSP step to update your tree to a release tag, and rebuild your image.
20.3 Forcing Clean Build
In order to update the kernel, U-Boot and rootfs: $ bitbake -c cleanall u-boot-variscite linux-variscite kernel-module-imx-gpu-viv ti-compat-wireless-wl18xx wl18xx-firmware cryptodev-module for GUI image $ bitbake -c clean fsl-image-gui for Qt5 image $ bitbake -c clean fsl-image-qt5
20.4 DDR size and Contiguous Memory Allocator
By default Freescale allocates 256MB of RAM to the Contiguous Memory allocator. This is for proper operation of the IPU VPU, X11 etc. On VAR-SOM-SOLO with 256MB DDR RAM size, it will cause a kernel freeze during boot. Adding cma=32MB to the bootargs parameters is required to fix.
21 Make changes to the rootfs
The following is usually not the recommended way to work with Yocto.
You should usually create new specific recipes (.bb files) and/or append to specific present recipes by using .bbappend files.
However, if you are not yet experienced enough with Yocto, and you just want to quickly add your files to the resultant file system (or make any other change to it), you can do it in a general way, by using the following variable:
ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND Specifies a list of functions to call once the OpenEmbedded build system has created the root filesystem. You can specify functions separated by semicolons: ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND += "function; ... " If you need to pass the root filesystem path to a command within a function, you can use ${IMAGE_ROOTFS}, which points to the directory that becomes the root filesystem image. See the IMAGE_ROOTFS variable for more information.
The functions will be called right after the root filesystem is created and right before it is packed to images (.wic.gz, .ubi, .tar.gz, etc.).
21.1 Example
Let's say you have your files that you want to put in the filesystem arranged on your host under a directory called /my_rootfs_additions, like the following:
my_rootfs_additions/ ├── data │ ├── example.m4v │ └── example.bin ├── etc │ └── example.conf └── home └── root └── .example
And let's say you want to build the fsl-image-gui image.
Create a file called ~/var-fslc-yocto/sources/meta-variscite-imx/recipes-images/images/fsl-image-gui.bbappend
with the following content:
add_my_files() { cp -r /my_rootfs_additions/* ${IMAGE_ROOTFS}/ } ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND += "add_my_files;"
Now, when you bitbake fsl-image-gui, the files in /my_rootfs_additions will be added to the rootfs (be careful when overwriting files).
