Hello,

To integrate the meta-qt6 layer on your Verdin iMX8MP module, you’ll need to work within the Yocto Project environment. The meta-qt6 layer is part of the Yocto Project’s meta-qt5 layer, which supports building Qt applications.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you add the meta-qt6 layer to your Yocto build environment:

  1. Set Up Yocto Environment: Ensure your Yocto build environment is set up for the Verdin iMX8MP. This typically involves configuring the Toradex BSP (Board Support Package) for your specific hardware.

  2. Clone the Meta-Qt6 Layer: Clone the meta-qt6 layer from a repository that supports it. This might be part of the meta-qt5 repository or a separate repository, depending on the version and support.

  3. Add the Layer to Your Build: After cloning, add the meta-qt6 layer to your bblayers.conf file in your Yocto build directory, located in the conf directory.

    BBLAYERS += "<path-to-meta-qt6-layer>"
    
  4. Configure Your Build: Modify your local.conf file to include any specific configurations needed for Qt6. This might include setting the DISTRO_FEATURES to include ‘qt6’ and any other specific configurations for your application.

  5. Build the Image: Use the bitbake command to build your image with Qt6 support. For example:

    bitbake <your-image-name>
    
  6. Deploy and Test: Once the build is complete, deploy the image to your Verdin iMX8MP module and test your Qt6 applications.

These steps should assist you in integrating the meta-qt6 layer into your Yocto build for the Verdin iMX8MP. If you encounter specific issues, ensure all dependencies for Qt6 are met and that your Yocto environment is correctly configured for the Verdin iMX8MP hardware.
