I suggest you go with your own distro then, as you can leverage the DISTRO_FEATURES in it yourself. You can either take any of 'fsl-' prefixed distros over 'poky' if you need some NXP proprietary components (e.g. VPU, GPU, etc), or take any of 'fslc-' prefixed ones if you want to stay with mainline. Please note - I do not say that 'poky' would not work here! :) It is just a reference distro from Yocto Project, which targets qemu on the first place, but also works well for real HW. This is the way we build our distro (derived from 'fsl-wayland'), and so far it has proven to be working quite well. I also do sanity build and run the 'fsl-wayland' off the master on imx8mmevk to make sure there are no regressions. > > Is poky what's causing my pain? You can see what distro features you have included when you do 'bitbake -e' and search for DISTRO_FEATURES. If you have (and according to what you say - you do :) ) some pieces you do not need - you can always either not include them in your custom distro, or use DISTRO_FEATURES_remove = "<unneeded list>". > > I've been doing TI based builds forever and recently switched over to NXP > based products so still learning the lay of the land.

Those distros are located in a meta-freescale-distro layer, you can peek there to see what's available. > > Regards, > > Brian > > -- Regards, Andrey.
