For Ubuntu 16.04 user, please add the content to the local.conf to avoid the error during building the SDL.

#PACKAGECONFIG_append_pn-qemu-native = " sdl" 

#PACKAGECONFIG_append_pn-nativesdk-qemu = " sdl"

Storage: Please make sure the capacity of your storage has 120GB or bigger space.

Step 1. Install Host packages:

Essential Yocto Project host packages:

$ sudo apt-get install gawk wget git-core diffstat unzip texinfo gcc-multilib \ build-essential chrpath socat libsdl1.2-dev

i.MX layers host packages for a Ubuntu 12.04 or 14.04 host setup are:

$ 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

Step 2. Insalling the repo utility:

Create the bin folder in the home directory:

$ mkdir ~/bin (this step may not be needed if the bin folder already exists)

$ curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo

$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

Step 3. Add the following line to the .bashrc file to make sure the ~/bin folder is in the PATH.

export PATH=~/bin:$PATH

Step 4. Ensure the git is properly set up by commands below:

$ git config --global user.name "Your Name"

$ git config --global user.email "Your Email"

$ git config –list

Step 5. Download the i.MX Yocto Project Community BSP recipe layers:

$ mkdir imx-yocto-bsp

$ cd imx-yocto-bsp

$ repo init -u https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/imx-manifest -b imx-linux-sumo - m imx-4.14.98-2.0.0_ga.xml

$ repo sync

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)

$ source setup-environment build-filename

Step 8. Run the command below.

$ bitbake fsl-image-qt5-validation-imx”

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