Building the BSP
This section will guide you through the general build process of the i.MX 8M Plus BSP using Yocto and the phyLinux
script. For more information about our meta-layer or Yocto in general visit: L-813e.A12 Yocto Reference Manual
(hardknott) .
Basic Set-Up
If you have never created a Phytec BSP with Yocto on your computer, you should take a closer look at the chapter
BSP Workspace Installation in the L-813e.A12 Yocto Reference Manual (hardknott) .
Get the BSP
There are two ways to get the BSP sources. You can download the complete BSP sources from our download page:
BSP-Yocto-i.MX8MP ; or you can build it yourself with Yocto . This is particularly useful if you want to make
customizations.
The phyLinux script is a basic management tool for PHYTEC Yocto BSP releases written in Python. It is mainly a
helper to get started with the BSP structure.
Create a fresh project folder, get phyLinux, and make the script executable:
host$ mkdir ~/yocto
host$ cd yocto/
host$ wget https:
//download.phytec.de/Software/Linux/Yocto/Tools/phyLinux
host$ chmod +x phyLinux
Run phyLinux
host$ ./phyLinux init
During the execution of the init command, you need to choose your processor platform (SoC), PHYTEC's BSP
release number, and the hardware you are working on.
Warning
A clean folder is important because phyLinux will clean its working directory. Calling phyLinux from a
directory that isn't empty will result in a warning.

Note
On the first initialization, the phyLinux script will ask you to install the Repo tool in your /usr/local/
bin directory.
