Overview
The Yocto Project is an open source collaboration project that helps developers create custom Linux-based systems for embedded products, regardless of the hardware architecture.
This article show how to build Yocto Image for iMX8MN-COMPACT-CM CPU module using:
Linux Kernel | U-BOOT | |
---|---|---|
Yocto dunfell | 5.4.105 | v2020.04 |
Installing required packages
Please make sure your host PC is running Ubuntu 18.04+ 64-bit and install the following packages:

Setup and build Yocto
$ MACHINE=imx8mn-compact-cm DISTRO=fslc-xwayland . setup-environment build_xwayland_imx8mn-compact-cm $ bitbake fsl-image-gui
Build Results
The resulted images are located in tmp/deploy/images/imx8mn-compact-cm.
Create a bootable SD card
Replace sdX with the right device name.
$ umount /dev/sdX1 $ umount /dev/sdX2 $ sudo bmaptool copy tmp/deploy/images/imx8mn-compact-cm/fsl-image-gui-imx8mn-compact-cm.wic.gz /dev/sdX
WiFi Setup
Scan for wireless networks:
$ ifconfig wlan0 up $ iw dev wlan0 scan | grep SSID
Connecting to an Access Point:
$ wpa_passphrase <YourAP> <YourPassword> > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf $ wpa_supplicant -B -D nl80211 -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
wait for:
$ wlcore: Association completed.
Get an IP via DHCP:
$ udhcpc -i wlan0 $ ifconfig
Audio Test
List all sound cards:
$ aplay -L
Play a file:
$ aplay Test.wav
List all sound controls:
