A new Yocto 2.7 release, Warrior, is now available for the i.MX series platform from NXP. We apologize for the delay.
For the Impatient
- For Nitrogen6x platform(nitrogen6x, sabrelite, MAX, SOM2, SOM2_QP, nitrogen6_vm, nitrogen6QP_MAX):
- For Nitrogen6x-lite platform:
- For Nitrogen6_SoloX platform:
- Coming soon
- For Nitrogen7 platform:
- Coming soon
- For Nitrogen8m platform:
- For Nitrogen8m Mini platform:
How to Burn
To burn the image file to a sdcard, run this command assuming your sdcard is mounted on /dev/sdc
~$ sudo umount /dev/sdc* ~$ zcat 20191101-boundary-image-multimedia-full-nitrogen6x.wic.gz | sudo dd of=/dev/sdc bs=1M
To build the image, you’ll need these packages installed as well as this repo tool that can be installed like this:
~$ sudo apt-get install repo
Now create your build directory and initialize everything.
~$ mkdir ~/warrior ~$ cd ~/warrior ~/warrior$ repo init -u http://github.com/boundarydevices/boundary-bsp-platform -b warrior ~/warrior$ repo sync
Now setup the environment for building. In this example we’re targeting the nitrogen6x, however nitrogen6x-lite, nitrogen6sx, and nitrogen7 are all also valid MACHINE targets here. Use whatever your platform is. Take a look through those MACHINE configuration files linked, you’ll notice the nitrogen6x MACHINE configuration covers many different boards. The other three configurations cover only one board. We are building the boundary-wayland DISTRO
~/warrior$ MACHINE=nitrogen6x DISTRO=boundary-wayland . setup-environment build
Now bitbake boundary-image-multimedia-full which is equivalent to fsl-image-multimedia-full with Boundary-specific packages such as BD-SDMAC support
~/warrior/build$ bitbake boundary-image-multimedia-full
After some time this should build the same image as above.
The image file will deploy to tmp/deploy/images/{MACHINE}/boundary-image-multimedia-full-{MACHINE}.wic.gz.
The next sub-sections will describe how to test most features.
Ethernet
Once the eth0 interface is up, you can use iperf3 to check Ethernet performances:
root@nitrogen8mm:~# iperf3 -c 192.168.1.60 Connecting to host 192.168.1.60, port 5201 [ 5] local 192.168.1.13 port 32880 connected to 192.168.1.60 port 5201 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr [ 5] 0.00-10.00 sec 1.09 GBytes 938 Mbits/sec 0 sender [ 5] 0.00-10.04 sec 1.09 GBytes 932 Mbits/sec receiver
Wi-Fi
Same goes for the Wi-Fi that can be tested just as easily:
root@nitrogen8mm:~# nmcli d wifi connect <network_name> password <password>
root@nitrogen8mm:~# iw wlan0 link
Connected to a4:3e:51:08:54:f6 (on wlan0)

Bluetooth
For products with Bluetooth, you’ll be able to connect using these commands:
