<big>'''Suggest O/S''':Ubuntu 18.04 or later.</big>

Please comment out content to the local.conf to avoid the error during building the SDL.

<big>'''RAM:''' Please make sure the physical memory + swap has 16GB or bigger capacity.</big> 
==<big>Procedure</big>==
'''Step 1.''' Install Host packages:

Essential Yocto Project host packages:
<pre>
$ sudo apt-get install gawk wget git-core diffstat unzip texinfo gcc-multilib \
build-essential chrpath socat libsdl1.2-dev
</pre>

i.MX layers host packages for a Ubuntu 12.04 or 14.04 host setup are:<pre>
$ sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev xterm sed cvs subversion coreutils texi2html \
docbook-utils python-pysqlite2 help2man make gcc g++ desktop-file-utils \
libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev mercurial autoconf automake groff curl lzop asciidoc
</pre>

'''Step 2.''' Insalling the repo utility:

Create the bin folder in the home directory:
<pre>
$ mkdir ~/bin (this step may not be needed if the bin folder already exists)
$ curl <nowiki>https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo</nowiki> > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
</pre>

'''Step 3.''' Add the following line to the .bashrc file to make sure the ~/bin folder is in the PATH.
<pre>
export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
</pre>

'''Step 4.''' Ensure the git is properly set up by commands below:
<pre>
$ git config --global user.name "Your Name"
$ git config --global user.email "Your Email"
$ git config --list
</pre>

'''Step 5.''' Download the i.MX Yocto Project Community BSP recipe layers:
<pre>
$ mkdir imx-yocto-bsp
$ cd imx-yocto-bsp
$ repo init -u <nowiki>https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/imx-manifest</nowiki> -b \
imx-linux-sumo -m imx-4.14.98-2.0.0_ga.xml
$ repo sync
</pre>

'''Step 6.''' Unzip the Recipe for building Yocto Linux for EBOX-IMX8MM to the file ‘imx-yocto-bsp”

'''Step 7.''' Create the setup environment by command below (You could change the file name as you want)
<pre>
$ DISTRO=fsl-imx-xwayland MACHINE=dm395b source fsl-setup-release.sh -b \
build-dmp
</pre>

Please input “y” when the EULA confirmation pop out.

'''Step 8.''' Edit conf/local.conf file and add the content below at the bottom:
<pre>
CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += "chromium-ozone-wayland"
IMAGE_INSTALL_append += " \
openssh-sftp-server \
ppp \
rng-tools \
glibc-gconv-utf-16 \
expand-rootfs \
"
</pre>

'''Step 9.''' Edit conf/bblayers.conf file and add the content below at the bottom:
<pre>
BBLAYERS += " ${BSPDIR}/sources/meta-custom-dmp "
</pre>

'''Step 10.''' Run the command below.
<pre>
$ bitbake fsl-image-qt5-validation-imx
</pre>

The system will start to download and install source code, patch file, and compilation.

=How to install the image file by UUU.=
After implemented bitbake fsl-image-qt5-validation-imx, it will generate an image file and be stored in the file under build-dmp/tmp/deploy/images/dm395b.

 In the build-dmp/tmp/deploy/images/dm395b file, we’ll need the file below for the image restoration.
<pre>
1. fsl-mage-qt5-validation-imx-dm395b.sdcard.bz2
2. imx-boot-dm395b-sd.bin-flash_evk
</pre>

Input command to get the image file - fsl-mage-qt5-validation-imx-dm395b.sdcard

(In this file, there are packaged kernel and rootfs):<pre>
$ bzip2 -d fsl-mage-qt5-validation-imx-dm395b.sdcard.bz2
</pre>Download the UUU.auto sample:https://ftp.icop.com.tw/share/MT0Eqdo6

If you have requirement to change the file name, please follow the steps below to change your file name (You could choose not changing the file name.)<pre>
SDP: boot -f XXX.bin-flash_evk
SDPU: write -f XXX.bin-flash_evk -offset 0x57c00
SDPS: boot -f XXX.bin-flash_evk
SDPV write -f XXX.bin-flash_evk -skipspl
FB: flash bootloader XXX.bin-flash_evk
XXX.bin-flash_evk = imx-boot-dm395b-sd.bin-flash_evk

FB: flash -raw2sparse all XXX.image
XXX.image = fsl-mage-qt5-validation-imx-dm395b.sdcard
</pre>After you have set your own file name, you could input the command below to install the Yocto Linux<pre>
uuu uuu.auto
