Hello Abdullah,

The error message you’re encountering, “Unsupported Linux toolchain, only GCC 32- or 64-bit is supported,” indicates a mismatch between the toolchain expected by your project and the one provided by your Yocto SDK. Here are some steps to help you resolve this issue:

1. Verify SDK Installation: Ensure that the SDK is correctly set up for your target architecture. It should match the architecture of your Toradex module, such as ARM for i.MX 8 or i.MX 6.

2. Check Environment Setup: Make sure you have sourced the environment setup script from the SDK. This script sets up necessary environment variables, including paths for the cross-compiler and other tools. Run the following command, replacing the path with your SDK’s location:

   source /path/to/your/sdk/environment-setup-cortexaXXhf-neon-tdx-linux-gnueabi
   

3. Toolchain Compatibility: Verify that the toolchain version is compatible with the Qt version you are using. The error might occur if the Qt project expects a different GCC version than what the SDK provides.

4. Qt Configuration: Ensure that the qmake command you are using is from the SDK and not a different version installed on your host system. Specify the correct path if needed:

   /opt/tdx-xwayland/7.1.0/sysroots/x86_64-tdxsdk-linux/usr/bin/qmake
   

5. Project Configuration: Review your Qt project’s .pro file to ensure there are no settings conflicting with the SDK’s toolchain.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the toolchain compatibility issue and successfully cross-compile your project using the Yocto SDK on your Toradex hardware.

Cross-compiling code for the Apalix i.MX8

Hi, I have an Apalis i.MX8 and an Ixora carrier board. I installed the minimal Linux image using the Toradex Easy Installer. I didn’t found a clear/proper documentation to help me cross-compile C/C++ programs for the embedded system. In fact, I have downloaded the cross-compiler from ARM website but I don’t have a proper sysroot (the compiler can’t find stdio.h). The /usr/include is empty (on both an archive I downloaded from Toradex, the OS image I guess, and in the embedded system file syst…

Problems with BLE on Colibri iMX6ull

I setup a the Colibri module on an Aster carrier board with the the Anstrom image and tried to pair over BLE with an embedded device using the Just Works pairing using Secure Connection. After not getting it to work after some days (despite correct looking output in hcidump and my BLE sniffer), I updated the image on the Colibri module to the current Yocto based image (using the Toradex Easy Installer). After that the pairing worked almost instantaneously with bluetoothctl. However, I know have …

My Yocto System Runs on aarch64 architecture, but QGroundControl is designed for x86_64

Initially, I planned to cross-compile QGroundControl because it does not provide a build specifically for the aarch64 architecture of my Yocto-based system. However, while exploring the layers further, I discovered that Flatpak was already available. By adding the necessary configuration to my local.conf file, I was able to use Flatpak to download and run a repository that works directly on my operating system.

This solution eliminated the need for cross-compiling. I understand that the title may not perfectly align with the resolution I found, but the process led me to this convenient alternative.
