Discovering Freescale ARM BSP

The Wandboard board uses the Freescale i.MX6 SoC. To use it with the Yocto Project, we need to use BSP layers.

The needed BSP layers to enable Wandboard support in Yocto Project are the following:

  • meta-fsl-arm: This BSP layer adds support to Freescale's reference machines and provides the basic BSP support
  • meta-fsl-arm-extra: This BSP layer adds support to third-party boards based on Freescale's SoC, such as Wandboard, and requires meta-fsl-arm as it provides the base BSP support

Freescale BSP is supported by a community, and more information on it can be found at http://freescale.github.io/.
