Yes don't mix swfp and hwfp builds.   That was my comment on freescale 
community.

Hi,

I'm trying to build fsl-image-gui for soft float as I am using Mono in a 
project and Mono currently doesn't appear to support hard float.

Git checkouts I'm using are all recent (i.e. within days),

meta-yocto        = "ajlennon/sqlite:3ab777991480aa4bff79130bd889ed25eba72fdc"
meta-fsl-arm      = "master:88117e976c16f22b9bbfeb26a52088e31f1d0c4d"
meta-fsl-arm-extra = "master:5b753d3d130ed6932715329d0e887a015e628766"
meta-fsl-demos    = "master:87233da97fe0ead245773e092acb56faa24f3835"
meta-mono         = "master:ceae2e324a03bf2c616c98a69b4e16f7b7a6af03"

I wasn't entirely clear on how to change the tuning to use the neon registers 
instead
of hard float, and in the end I added the following line to local.conf

DEFAULTTUNE_mx6 ?= "cortexa9-neon"

This gets me building with bitbake reporting,

TUNE_FEATURES     = "armv7a vfp neon cortexa9"
TARGET_FPU        = "vfp-neon"

I had some trouble rebuilding and in the end I removed the tmp/ directory and 
restarted
the build. This gets me further but I'm now erroring on gpu-viv-bin-mx6q 
do_package()

Can anybody advise whether I'm overriding the default hfp tuning correctly, and 
what might be
going wrong here?

It looks to me as though there was some kind of issue with the dependencies as 
the .spec file being built still had references to hardfp packages

I found this comment at the FSL community forum:

"I tried this on imx6qsabresd and have no issues.   Right before release we did 
have problems with
disabling hwfp correctly but it was enabled in the final update. Also I've seen 
multiple times that switching
between hwfp and swfp can corrupt build states.  I always keep these completely 
separate builds both
with cache and tmp directories."

When I created a new build tree and built for softfp within that tree it all 
seems to work.


Many thanks,

Alex Lennon

I can "bitbake jack" without any errors, but when I add "jack" to my

Is "jack" missing from the imx6qsabresd feed or do I need to add some

kind of depends?

Neither; this is common for people starting to Yocto to make this mistake.

Basically you need to check the binary packages it builds.



When you do:



$: bitbake jack



You are saying ... hey bitbake, please process jack recipe. This has no

direct relation to the binaries you get as result.



When you add something in IMAGE_INSTALL or similar, you are asking for the

image to install the /binary/. For jack case, the binaries are:



http://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/tree/meta-oe/recipes-multimedi

a/jack/jack_0.121.0.bb?h=dora#n38



Most probably, you're looking for jack-server binary.
