How to get the SDK

Building the SDK

To compile a working SDK, the SDK has to be created from the same image like the one running on your board.

Setup the build-directory:

  MACHINE=imx8mqrom5720a1 DISTRO=fsl-imx-xwayland source fsl-setup-release.sh -b build_xwayland

• MACHINE=imx8mqrom5720a1 for ROM-5720 A1
• MACHINE=imx8mmrom5721a1 for ROM-5721 A1
• MACHINE=imx8qxprom5620a1 for ROM-5620 A1
• MACHINE=imx8qxprom3620a1 for ROM-3620 A1
• MACHINE=imx8qmrom7720a1 for ROM-7720 A1 

Build the image for your board. To flash the image use uuu.

  bitbake fsl-image-qt5-validation-imx

Populate the SDK:

  bitbake fsl-image-qt5-validation-imx -c populate_sdk
