Apalis iMX6 Yocto Project QEMU Image Support

Technical Support

#1

I’m trying to build the QEMU x64 image of Toradex’ Yocto project distribution and it is a no go. I solved some of the issues, but now I’m stuck with MESA recipes.
Especially I’m targeting VMDK, VDI image so I can run it in VirtualBox. I did the same for another board and it helped a lot.
I’m in the beginning of my experiments and I need to test a lot, so flashing every new image on target is quite an effort.
Is there a dev branch or some sort of patch that would allow me to build QEMU image?

#2

No, we never worked on any such but I also don’t see how any of this is related to any Toradex hardware at all.

Please note that rather than just Yocto it is actually called Yocto Project and the distribution we are using is called Ångström Distribution.

Please further note that if you expect anybody to help you you would need to reveal what versions of things (hardware & software) you are talking about.

#3

Thanks for the reply and sorry for omitting the versions:
Yocto Layers: LinuxImageV2.7
Hardware: Apalis-iMX6Q with ixora board

#4

As LinuxImageV2.7 is a branch it is not that well suited as an exact version specifier. And what exact versions of Apalis iMX6Q and Ixora are you talking about?

#5

I don’t understand how these versions are related to the question, but I can also get you the serial numbers if you need and if it would be easier.
I’m experimenting with this Toradex setup at home, but I’m also working on my project at another place where I don’t have access to the HW setup, so I wanted to build an QEMU virtual disk and load it to VirtualBox, thus allowing me to test some steps that are not HW relevant (E.g.: adding new user to the distro and also including it to sudoers).
