I would like to compile my own image using Yocto, is there a guide for this?
MaaXBoard supports OS include:
1. Android 9.0
2. Yocto:
- U-Boot version: 2018.03
- Kernel version: 4.14.78
- image: Yocto sumo 2.5
- Qt 5.10.1 Library or later
- Customized UI
Well I looked and I can tell you the way it was built
https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.5.1/brief-yoctoprojectqs/brief-yoctoprojectqs.html .
The bad news is the hardware specifics are not freely available. Maybe someone here can help locate the Yocto hardware details?
Thanks for the response!
I am familiar with building via Yocto, I guess my question is more about getting access to the Yocto Board Support Layers used to build specifically for the MaaxBoard Hardware. Are there not build instructions on how to produce an image similar to the pre-built one? Typically, I try to find a BSP layer to make sure the image is compatible with the hardware, but I haven't seen anything like that so far for this board.
Hey Bryant,
The BSP for the MaaXBoard can be found here MaaXBoard
Is that what your looking for?

I've seen the kernel BSP stuff, I guess I am referring to the Layers responsible for Yocto building a root file system. In my past experience with the iMX8MQ, NXP has provided layers to build a demo image. It seems like Embest provides the kernel and uboot source, but no Yocto layers that actually use this source code. I would expect to find a linux-4.14.98.bbappend recipe file or something that builds the kernel for the target hardware.
I also don't see a MACHINE conf file for the board.
Hi Bryant,
This documentation by NXP shows their typical process for rebuilding an image for one of their boards. Perhaps you can take this and re-purpose this to the MaaXBoard?

Bryant, I am checking with Embest to get this information. They were in the process of switching to the Debian rootfs (Buster) and I am not aware of the current status.
