BSP layer and reference Image for intel Atom processor

Technical Support

I have an older intel ATOM board that I need to make a YOCTO image for. I have recently use built for your SMARC IMX95. I would like to user your YOCTO BSP as at starting point for my ATOM board.

Can I reference meta–intel and get a build for your repositories?

Hi, I’m the Toradex AI Assistant.

I might make mistakes or occasionally get you wrong. Our support team will step in if needed.

I’d be glad to help! Could you let me know which OS and version you are using?

To provide the most accurate guidance for using Toradex Yocto BSP layers with your Intel ATOM board, I need to understand your current setup better. You can use the tdx-info command to get detailed information about your system - you can find more details about this tool at tdx-info.

Toradex BSP Layers Structure

Based on the available documentation, Toradex provides comprehensive BSP layers for Yocto Project(1):

  • meta-toradex-bsp-common: BSP layer common to all Toradex computer on modules(1)
  • meta-toradex-nxp: BSP layer for computer on modules that use NXP SoCs(1)
  • meta-toradex-ti: BSP layer for computer on modules that use Texas Instruments (TI) SoCs(1)
  • meta-toradex-demos: BSP layer that provides recipes used by reference images(1)
  • meta-toradex-distro: Distribution layer that provides recipes used to build reference images(1)

The Toradex manifest system uses the toradex-manifest repository which contains all layers used by the Toradex BSP, including both in-house and third-party layers(1).

Once you provide your specific OS version and setup details, I can give you more targeted guidance on how to integrate meta-intel with the Toradex BSP layers for your Intel ATOM board project.

Hey @pachanga,

This is a little bit of a strange question, but maybe I can help. Can you let me know what you end goal is? Is this a demo for a project? To learn yocto more?

It’s maybe not a good starting point to go from one BSP to create another with such dissimilar boards/manufacturers. But our BSP yocto build is all open source, so you’ll see all that’s required when you repo sync the manifest. Directions linked below.

Hi eric,

I have a generic x86_64 computer that I need to have an embedded Linux on it. The use for this computer is to act as network hub and data collection onto a local hard drive. There will not be any other peripherals connected to this computer. I did not know if you had a bsp (genericx86-64) that offered this much for an Intel platform.

My end goal was to through one vendor’s repositories for YOCTO for both my ARM and Intel needs if possible.

If this is not possible, I can always continue use my other vendor’s repositories for my Intel needs.

I am going to answer my own question.

meta-intel already has generic machines to use.

I had not looked at seeing that it had offered up some machines in its layers.

Being opensource here, there is no vendors involved.

Hey @pachanga,

Glad you found a path! Let us know if you have any other concerns.
