Download and install repo utility
To get the BSP you need to have repo installed. To install it follow these steps:
mkdir -pv ~/workdir/bin
curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/workdir/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/workdir/bin/repo
PATH=${PATH}:~/workdir/bin
Yocto Project 2.1
Every OS require different set of the installed packages. More information about Yocto requirements are in Freescale Yocto Project User's Guide.
Initialise Yocto project
Download the BSP Yocto Project Environment:
mkdir -pv ~/workdir/voipac/imx6/yocto/fsl-release-bsp-2.1 cd ~/workdir/voipac/imx6/yocto/fsl-release-bsp-2.1 git config --global user.name "Your Name" git config --global user.email "Your Email" git config --list repo init -u git://git.freescale.com/imx/fsl-arm-yocto-bsp.git -b imx-4.1-krogoth
Init iMX6 Tinyrex layer
Add iMX6 TinyRex support:
mkdir -pv .repo/local_manifests/
cat > .repo/local_manifests/imx6rex.xml << EOF
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<remote fetch="git://github.com/Voipac" name="voipac"/>

<copyfile src="voipac-setup.sh" dest="voipac-setup.sh"/>
</project>
</manifest>

Building images
Workarounds
Building process could get halted. This session contains few workarounds for commonly observed failures. These commands fix compiling on Ubuntu 16.04 operating system.
Issue: Preferred bootloader and kernel are overwritten during compilation fsl-image recipe
Cause and fix: fsl-image overwrite bootloader/kernel provided by meta-fsp-voipac. To remove this limitation replace '=' with '?='
Original version:
meta-fsl-bsp-release/imx/meta-sdk/conf/distro/include/fsl-imx-preferred-env.inc:PREFERRED_PROVIDER_u-boot_mx6 = "u-boot-imx" meta-fsl-bsp-release/imx/meta-sdk/conf/distro/include/fsl-imx-preferred-env.inc:PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/bootloader_mx6 = "u-boot-imx" meta-fsl-bsp-release/imx/meta-sdk/conf/distro/include/fsl-imx-preferred-env.inc:PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel_mx6 = "linux-imx"
Modified version:
meta-fsl-bsp-release/imx/meta-sdk/conf/distro/include/fsl-imx-preferred-env.inc:PREFERRED_PROVIDER_u-boot_mx6 ?= "u-boot-imx" meta-fsl-bsp-release/imx/meta-sdk/conf/distro/include/fsl-imx-preferred-env.inc:PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/bootloader_mx6 ?= "u-boot-imx" meta-fsl-bsp-release/imx/meta-sdk/conf/distro/include/fsl-imx-preferred-env.inc:PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel_mx6 ?= "linux-imx"
Issue: Web browser recipes are disabled
Fix: Comment out to enable
meta-browser/recipes-browser/chromium/chromium_48.0.2548.0.bb:#PNBLACKLIST[chromium] ?= "BROKEN: fails to build with gcc-6" meta-browser/recipes-browser/chromium/cef3_280796.bb:#PNBLACKLIST[cef3] ?= "BROKEN: fails to build with gcc-6" meta-browser/recipes-mozilla/firefox/firefox_38.8.0esr.bb:#PNBLACKLIST[firefox] ?= "BROKEN: fails to build with gcc-6"
