Hi @hanmant9096

Could you provide the software version of your module?

What is exact size of that folder once the image has build successfully ??

I don’t understand your question. The meta-boot2qt is used to build the image, the folder will not present in the image.

Best regards,

Hi @jaski.tx
I have followed these
$git clone yocto/meta-boot2qt.git - Yocto layer for Boot2Qt
$cd meta-boot2qt
$./b2qt-init-build-env init --device colibri-imx7
$MACHINE=colibri-imx7 . ./setup-environment.sh
build$ bitbake -k b2qt-embedded-qt5-image
when i enter(fire) the bitbake command for build ,it taking too much time and check the size of that folder(meta-boot2qt) is about 50GB;still some part are missed.
so i wanted to know that exact size .

Hi @hanmant9096

Could you please provide all the steps you have followed, build log and the BSP version which you are trying to build?

Also how you are checking the size of the folder? Are you sure you are not talking about the full Yocto project directory? As Yocto build can take this much size while you building image, this also depends on many factory-like what packages you are building and their dependencies if needed to build, documentation build, etc.
