i.MX515 Project
Improve i.MX515/cortex-a8/thumb-2 uclibc support

in category Embedded
proposed by khem on 12th July 2010 (accepted on 1st September 2010)
Project Summary
http://www.uclibc.org

Add support and optimize uclibc arm port on armv7/i.MX515 especially make it
fully support thumb-2 instruction set. This will also be used for automatic
regression testing of uclibc using either buildroot or openembedded and generic
uclibc based toolchain improvements.


I am one of the maintainers for current arm and nptl port in uclibc.

  efikamx is now a supported machine with angstrom distribution
posted by khem on 15th June 2011


Now angstrom distribution can be built for efikamx and the machine layer is part of angstrom set up repository

You can set it up as follows

git clone git://git.angstrom-distribution.org/setup-scripts angstrom
cd angstrom
git checkout -b oe-core origin/oe-core

./oebb.sh config efikamx

bitbake console-image

<wait for few hours>

bitbake efl-nodm-image will generate an image with GUI based on EFL


in the end console-image is ready !!

Enjoy

meta-efikamx layer on top of openembedded-core has been created and currently its added to angstrom distribution. To use it

git clone git://git.angstrom-distribution.org/setup-scripts angstrom
cd angstrom
git checkout -b oe-core origin/oe-core

./oebb.sh config efikamx

There you go !

It will generate image kernel and bootloader for efikamx

  efikamx machine layer on top of openembedded-core
posted by khem on 19th May 2011


Recently openemembedded-core has been announced on which yocto is based too. I have created a meta-efikamx layer on top of openembedded. The layer is here

git://github.com/kraj/meta-efikamx.git

I have got efikaMX smarttop working with angstrom distribution using openmebedded-core.

I have proposed this layer to be included in angstrom distribution.

I will post once its accepted in angstrom.
