Buildroot and Yocto
The Linux BSP "fsimx8mn-B2020.xx" is based on Buildroot, a software for the creation of root file systems. About 1400 different software packages can be added to the root file system via Buildroot. The range of functions extends from simple libraries and utilities to a complete Java environment to complete graphical environments such as Qt or Wayland / Weston, including applications such as an HTML5-capable web browser. In this way, a tailor-made Linux system can be put together very easily.
As an alternative to Buildroot, there will also be a Yocto-based environment. We offer the Linux BSP fsimx8mn-Y2020.xx, which is based on Yocto.
Our standard configuration, which is intended to give a first impression of the functional range of the board, includes the following features: busybox, gdb, alsa-utils, gstreamer, fbv, matchbox, feh, openssl, openssh, ncurses, can-utils, iproute2, ftpd, httpd, telnet, tftp, and many more.
Both BSPs will contain the source code packages of U-Boot, Linux kernel and buildroot or Yocto, which have been adapted by F&S. Also included is our cross toolchain, some sample applications, and all binaries in the standard configuration. And last but not least, detailed documents about the hardware are included as well as the first-steps documentation for an easy start.
F&S will offer a virtual machine (based on VirtualBox) with an installed Linux based on the Fedora 27 distribution for free download. All packages necessary to compile our software are already installed. Also all services (NFS, TFTP) for working with our boards are installed. Our BSP is unpacked and precompiled in the right directories. With this virtual machine it does not matter if you use Windows or Linux as host. Just download the VHD, import it into VirtualBox and the development can start immediately.
