Introduction¶
This document is the release notes for the FSL Community BSP 1.8, which is the result of a community effort to improve Freescale’s SoC support for OpenEmbedded and Yocto Project.
Defining the FSL Community BSP¶
The FSL Community BSP is a community-driven project to provide and maintain Board Support Package (BSP) metadata layers for use in OpenEmbedded and Yocto Project with Freescale’s SoCs.
The FSL Community BSP follows Yocto Project’s release schedule and branch naming (since release 1.3, denzil).
See the Yocto Project Release for details on the Yocto Project.
Motivation¶
The FSL Community BSP started with the goal of easing the use of OpenEmbeedded and Yocto Project with Freescale’s SoCs and providing an example of how to assemble an easy-to-use platform as the basis for future products.
The FSL Community BSP provides:
What the FSL Community BSP is not¶
The FSL Community BSP does not have a paid support team. The members of this community have full-time jobs and work on the project in their spare time. Most of them are working with Freescale SoCs in their full-time job, so it means some of them can provide paid support if requested.
The provided source code is not intended to be a product in itself. It is a reference platform for people to build products with. Because of this, plan to have a development and test cycle for your product if you decide to base it on the FSL Community BSP.
The project is community-driven work, and it is NOT an official Freescale support channel.
What you can expect¶
- You can expect help when you post a question, but please be patient. Wait for at least two days for a response. Most of the time, people do reply when they know an answer or have advice to offer. If you don’t receive a reply, then it may be due to no one in the community having an adequate response.
- The stable branch is supported for six months after the release date (following the Yocto Project’s release schedule);
- The upstreaming takes place as quickly as possible and any needed adjustment is going to be made accordingly.
What the community expects from you¶
The community does expect that you contribute back by:
- replying when you know the answer to a question in the mailing list;
- reviewing the patches sent to mailing list;
- testing new patches that affect you directly or indirectly;
- reporting bugs you may find;
- upstreaming bug fixes;
- upstreaming features that may be good for the community.
Upstreaming¶
The FSL Community BSP provides test images and demos in addition to the base BSP for Freescale reference boards and third-party boards. In addition to the BSP, a Linux-based operating system typically requires several other packages, such as ssh client/server, window managers, applications, and so on. These packages are not part of the BSP. In other words, the FSL Community BSP is used with applications, tools and metadata from other projects, such as OpenEmbedded and Poky.
The FSL Community BSP always offers a stable version and a development version. You may face errors that are not caused by FSL Community BSP‘s layers but instead by OpenEmbedded’s or Poky’s metadata. In this case, the error must be fixed in its layer.
The following image shows the upstream levels:
Main branch names¶
- master-next: this branch is used to keep the patches to be built by the autobuilder for the very first test build. Do not expect to have a clear merging schedule, or to have a stable project when working with the master-next branch;
- master: this is the branch where development takes place. Any new feature or bug fix must be merged here first. This is the development of the next stable branch;
- fido: the latest stable branch. This branch only accepts bug fixes, and is supported for 6 months after the release date.
There are other branches available, and they are the previous stable branches. They are kept online for users’ convenience, and you should not expect backports or bug fixes.
Upstream cycle¶
In addition to the normal Yocto Project upstream process, there is also a BSP upstream cycle.
The BSP upstream cycle starts just after a Freescale Official Release is published in git.freescale.com. The patches to adapt the recipes from meta-fsl-bsp-release are sent out for review to the meta-freescale mailing list and are merged in the meta-fsl-arm and meta-fsl-demos layers or upstreamed to Yocto Project accordingly.
A more detailed step-by-step process is shown below:
- New Freescale Official Release is published;
- The patches are sent to meta-freescale;
- After the review process, the patches are merged in the proper layer’s master-next branch;
- Source code is built by the autobuilder;
- After one week in master-next, it is merged in master;
- Freescale internally bases the next Freescale Official Release from the community source code;
- Back to step 1.
The result is that Freescale uses the FSL Community BSP source code with its bug fixes, improvements, and any new features to create the next Freescale Official Release.
Freescale uses the latest stable branch from Yocto Project to base the next Freescale Official Release. When this release is published, it is rebased and reworked to be merged in the current development branch.
The differences between FSL Community BSP and Freescale Official Release¶
The goal for each project is different. See below for the main points of divergence.
Freescale Official Release¶
The Freescale Official Release is intended to provide a static base for Freescale to test and validate the BSP modules with Freescale evaluation boards, and it is developed internally by Freescale. The set of supported boards vary from release to release and is listed in the Freescale Official Release notes for the specific version. The release points to a static revision of every included layer. Therefore, the release does not receive updates and bug fixes.
FSL Community BSP¶
The FSL Community BSP is a reference system that can be used as a base for products and is an open project that accepts contributions from the community. It supports a wide range of boards which range from Freescale evaluation boards (meta-fsl-arm layer) to third-party boards (meta-fsl-arm-extra). The release is a “moving target”, so there are updates on top of the released source code, such as the addition of new features and bug fixes.
| Freescale Official Release | FSL Community BSP | |
|---|---|---|
| Intended use | Reference system for BSP modules test and validation on Freescale Reference Boards | Reference system for use as base for any project for all supported boards |
| Code | Static. Only include any bug fixes on the upcoming release | Updates. Receives bug fixes and has security issues fixed often |
| Contribution | Indirect contribution via FSL Community BSP. After revision, contribution may be merged in upcoming release | Open, everyone is welcome to contribute to the project |
| Board Support | Limited, as it supports just the Freescale evaluation boards listed in the Release Notes | Extended, as it supports both Freescale evaluation boards and 3rd party boards. See Supported Board List |
| Yocto Project Compatible | No | Yes |
| Support | i.MX Community | meta-freescale |
| Repository | git.freescale.com | github.com/Freescale |
FSL Community BSP Scope¶
The scope of the FSL Community BSP includes the meta layers:
- meta-fsl-arm: provides the base support and Freescale ARM reference boards;
- meta-fsl-arm-extra: provides support for 3rd party and partner boards;
- meta-fsl-demos: provides images recipes, demo recipes, and packagegroups used to easy the development with Yocto Project.
- Documentation: provides the source code for FSL Community BSP Release Notes (RN), User Guide (UG) and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
License¶
The FSL Community BSP is a project with the same licensing of most Yocto Project layers. It means the recipe file is under a certain license, and the source code used by that recipe is under another certain license (being it equal or not).
Most of FSL Community BSP‘s metadata is under MIT license, however the extensive and accurate list of package’s license provided by the Yocto Project’s metadata can be generated with few commands, for detailed information on how license is handled by Yocto Project see the Reference Manual.
End User License Agreement (EULA)¶
Freescale releases basically two kind of packages, the open sourced packages use regular open source licenses (GPLv2 for example).
The close sourced packages are released under the Freescale License (known as EULA). Each package has a copy of EULA inside itself and a copy of the EULA text is also included inside meta-fsl-arm root dir (sources/meta-fsl-arm/EULA).
The FSL Community BSP handles the EULA acceptance by prompting user to read and accept EULA text at the very first environment setup. It is user’s duty to read and understand it before accepting it. After it is accepted the first time, it is assumed accepted in any other build.
Kernel Release Notes¶
The FSL Community BSP includes support for several kernel providers. Each machine may have a different Linux Kernel provider.
The FSL Community BSP is not responsible for the content of those kernels. Although we as community should feel empowered to submit bug fixes and new features for those projects.
See the respective Linux Kernel provider for your machine in section Linux Kernel.
Different Product SoC Families¶
Currently, the FSL Community BSP includes the following Product SoC Families:
- i.MX Application Processors (imx): Regarding the i.MX Freescale Page: i.MX applications processors are multicore ARM®-based solutions for multimedia and display applications with scalability, high performance, and low power capabilities.
- Vybrid Controller Solutions based on ARM® Cores (vybrid): Regarding the Vybrid Freescale Page: Vybrid controller solutions are built on an asymmetrical-multiprocessing architecture using ARM® cores as the anchor for the platform, and are ideal for many industrial applications.
- Layerscape Architecture (ls): Regarding the Layerscape Freescale Page: delivers unprecedented efficiency and scale for the smarter, more capable networks of tomorrow.
Freescale groups a set of SoCs which target different markets in product families. Those are grouped according to their SoC features and internal hardware capabilities.
The Yocto Project’s tools have the required capabilities to differentiate the architectures and BSP components for the different SoC families. In this perspective, the FSL Community BSP can support a wide range of architectures and product lines which go across several markets.
For the FSL Community BSP, the different SoCs, from all product lines manufactured by Freescale, can be seen as different machines, thus easing the use of same architecture across different markets.

Machine Maintainers¶
Since FSL Community BSP Release 1.6 (Daisy), the maintainer field in machine configuration files of meta-fsl-arm and meta-fsl-arm-extra is mandatory for any new board to be added.
So now on, every new board must have someone assigned as maintainer. This ensures, in long term, all boards with a maintainer assigned. Current orphan boards are not going to be removed unless it causes maintenance problem and the fix is not straightforward.
- The maintainer duties:
- The one with casting vote when a deadlock is faced.
- Responsible to keep that machine working (that means, booting and with some stability) Keep kernel, u-boot updated/tested/working.
- Keep release notes updated
- Keep test cycle updated
- Keep the most usual images building and booting
When a build error is detected, the maintainer will “fix” it. For those maintainers with kernel control (meta-fsl-arm-extra), it is expected that they properly fix the kernel issue (when it’s a kernel issue). However, anything out of community control should be worked around anyway.

- barebox: Barebox - a bootloader that inherits the best of U-Boot and the Linux kernel
- u-boot-boundary: u-boot for Boundary Devices boards.
- u-boot-compulab: u-boot which includes support for CompuLab boards.
- u-boot-congatec: u-boot which includes support for Congatec Boards.
- u-boot-fslc: U-Boot based on mainline U-Boot used by FSL Community BSP in order to provide support for some backported features and fixes, or because it was submitted for revision and it takes some time to become part of a stable version, or because it is not applicable for upstreaming.
- u-boot-imx: U-Boot provided by Freescale with focus on i.MX reference boards.
- u-boot-ls1: U-Boot provided by Freescale with focus on QorIQ Layerscape1 boards
- u-boot-timesys: bootloader for Vybrid platforms
- u-boot-toradex: U-Boot bootloader with support for Toradex Computer on Modules.

User Space Packages¶
There is a huge number of user space packages provided by the Yocto Project. The following table shows some version for few highlighted packages.
| Package | Board/SoC Family | Version |
|---|---|---|
| gstreamer | All | 0.10.36 |
| gstreamer1.0 | All | 1.4.5 |
| libdrm | All | 2.4.59 |
| udev | All | 182 |
Freescale User Space Packages¶
This section shows the version package for each board. Those packages provide hardware acceleration for GPU or VPU, hardware optimization or some hardware test tools.
- Hardware acceleration is achieved using a different core for processing some specific task. In this case, GPU or VPU.
- Hardware optimization is achieved with some changes in source code in order to get a better performance for a specific task on a specific hardware. For example, audio decode made by software, but with optimizations for ARM.
- Hardware-specific is applicable when the package was designed to be executed on a specific hardware, and it does not make sense on other hardware. For example, imx-test is a test package for imx boards. It can be cross-compiled for any other core, although it will only behave as expect if executed on imx boards.
The package version and variety varies on SoC Hierarchy. For example, machines with i.MX28 SoC does not have VPU, the recipe imx-vpu is not needed. There are differences, as well, in GPU support recipes.

PackageGroups and Images¶
The FSL Community BSP provides a list of PACKAGEGROUPS and images intended to ease the initial development of custom applications.
The main goal is not to provide a production solution, on the contrary, it should be seen as an example of package set for a specific IP development, and an example of initial generic development and test images.
PACKAGEGROUPS¶
The following list shows the current PACKAGEGROUPs available in Fido when using FSL Community BSP.
You can understand what a PACKAGEGROUPS is and learn how to use it in Yocto Project Development Manual
- packagegroup-fsl-gstreamer: Package group used by FSL Community to provide audio, video, and debug GStreamer’s plugins with the required hardware acceleration (if supported by the SoC).
- packagegroup-fsl-gstreamer-full: Package group used by FSL Community to provide audio, video, and debug GStreamer’s plugins (including good and bad ones) with the required hardware acceleration (if supported by the SoC).
- packagegroup-fsl-mfgtool: Freescale Manufacturing Tool requirements.
- packagegroup-fsl-tools-benchmark: Package group used by FSL Community to provide a set of benchmark applications.
- packagegroup-fsl-tools-gpu: Package group used by FSL Community to add the packages which provide GPU support.
- packagegroup-fsl-tools-gpu-external: Package group used by FSL Community to provide graphic packages used to test the several hardware accelerated graphics APIs including packages not provided by Freescale.
- packagegroup-fsl-tools-testapps: Packagegroup used by FSL Community to provide a set of packages and utilities for hardware test.
- packagegroup-fslc-gstreamer1.0: Package group used by FSL Community to provide audio, video, networking and debug GStreamer plugins with the required hardware acceleration (if supported by the SoC).
- packagegroup-fslc-gstreamer1.0-full: Package group used by FSL Community to provide all GStreamer plugins from the base, good, and bad packages, as well as the ugly and libav ones if commercial packages are whitelisted, and plugins for the required hardware acceleration (if supported by the SoC).
Images¶
The following images are provided by FSL Community BSP only. See the list of Yocto Project’s reference images in Yocto Project Reference Manual
- fsl-image-machine-test: A console-only image that includes gstreamer packages, Freescale’s multimedia packages (VPU and GPU) when available, and test and benchmark applications.
- fsl-image-mfgtool-initramfs: Small image to be used with Manufacturing Tool (mfg-tool) in a production environment.
- fsl-image-multimedia: A console-only image that includes gstreamer packages and Freescale’s multimedia packages (VPU and GPU) when available for the specific machine.
- fsl-image-multimedia-full: A console-only image that includes gstreamer packages and Freescale’s multimedia packages (VPU and GPU) when available for the specific machine.
- qt-in-use-image: qt-in-use-image version 1.0-r0.
- qte-in-use-image: qte-in-use-image version 1.0-r0.
Test results¶
Freescale has a complete test cycle for the BSP released. It includes tests for Linux Kernel for the GPU package and for the VPU package (and all other package needed by the BSP, such as imx-lib).
The results and known issues, from Linux Kernel, GPU and VPU packages can be found in the Freescale Release Notes (Download tab of freescale.com/imx).
For boards from meta-fsl-arm-extra, the test cycle is performed by each mantainer.

Known Issues¶
ALL¶
- Fail to build imx-lib/imx-vpu/imx-test/gst-fsl-plugin when building against linux-fslc
- Weston/Wayland/Directb for SOC_FAMILY: imx5 or mxs or imx3 is not hardware accelerated and has not been tested.
- Hob is known to not work with with FSL Community BSP. Some of known issues are problems generating the SD Card images and handling the GPU drivers.
IMX28¶
- Touch screen (with x11 at least) is not completely calibrated
- mfgtools supported n FSL Community BSP does not include support for i.mx28 (but it´s easy to be included and your patch is appreciated)
- Pendrive is not automatically mounted, but once you mount it everything works fine
IMX6¶
