our use case of browser is to only send some predefined screens to one of the browser tab.

I've used 'links' browser, which is very light-weight but also very
minimal features. If your pre-rendered html is fairly simple, it might
work out; probably worth taking a look at how some example pages render
in 'links' installed on a Linux desktop.

You might try WPEWebKit. I've used it before and it's good for a very
minimal display of web content while still being fairly full featured.

Hi there.
I have not followed Yocto iMX for some time.
Today I found in the document "i.MX Yocto Project User's Guide" from NXP such text:

"i.MX joined the Yocto Project community providing a release based on the Yocto Project framework."

1. Did I understand correctly: the war Community VS iMX is finished?

AFAIK, there was no war declared, not at least that I was aware of
when I started using Yocto Project and `meta-freescale` layer. ;-)

NXP is lacking a bit in pace to catch up with latest Yocto Project
releases when the do release their BSP, but overall - it is pretty
much aligned.

If there is a track record of this "war declaration", then I guess it
would be interesting for community to see it once you share it. :-)

2. Why here http://freescale.github.io development is stopped on "2.4 - codename Rocko:" version

This is maintained by Otavio IIRC, and perhaps it is a bit
"out-of-sync" with the current Documentation, which is available at
[1]. I guess it would be updated someday to reflect the current state
of development.

Thank you.

It looks like HDMI FW is not loaded or so (just guessing from this
message in log: NO HDMI FW running).

Does anybody have same experience or idea what can be the problem?

Thanks and BR,

Check if you have 'workspace/sources/u-boot-fslc/oe-workdir/u-boot-fslc-v2022.04+git999/<board-name>_defconfig/.config'. I think this is the .config used when enabled devtool for u-boot-fslc.

Yes, this is expected.

You are using the U-Boot mx51evk target, but your board is a custom one.

You said it has 1GB of RAM, so you need to adapt the DDR
initialization to your custom board.

Using the imx51evk target with your board does not work.

You need to adapt the DDR for your specific board to be able to boot it.

It has been ages since I used those. @Fabio Estevam have you tried them lately?

Yes, it boots well with the top of tree U-Boot:

Hi all.

It is better u-boot-imx or u-boot-fslc as bootloader?


I try the two version of u-boot but I get only the presentation of uboot.

Uboot is not able to boot

Hi,

I have backported the following recipes from honister to dunfell:
- u-boot-fslc-common_2022.04.inc
- u-boot-fslc_2022.04.bb

u-boot-fslc and also my image that use the u-boot-fslc can be built easily.
$ bitbake u-boot-fslc
$ bitbake <MY_IMAGE_NAME>

When I build the SDK, u-boot-fslc fails to compile outside of Yocto. My SDK is still missing things.
$ bitbake <MY_IMAGE_NAME> -c populate_sdk

$ . /opt/poky/2.0.5-dev/environment-setup-aarch64-poky-linux
$ make imx8mp_evk_defconfig
$ make -j16
scripts/dtc/pylibfdt/libfdt_wrap.c:154:11: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory
  154 | # include <Python.h>
      |           ^~~~~~~~~~

With a quick fix setting PYTHON3=/usr/bin/python3 in the u-boot Makefile still throws an error:
aarch64-poky-linux-ld.bfd: cannot find -lgcc
make: *** [Makefile:1801: u-boot] Error 1

Which DEPENDS do I have to add where to compile u-boot-fslc incl. binman?

Best regards
Michael

2.17.1

On my i.mx8mp board I have secure boot enabled. I can boot a signed kernel fine. I'd like to now sign the kernel used with the initramfs image. I don't understand if that kernel is the same as the regular kernel and if I can just replace the signed kernel with it?

when I build my initramfs image recipe I get a few new files including a rootfs.cpio.gz file and a Image-initramfs file. I'm unclear what the differences are between these files.

If I unpack the cpio.gz file I see an Image file in /boot/Image. I don't seem to be able to boot this cpio.gz image though.
