Building Linux Images for the i.MX 8M Mini SOM Starter Kit Print

 

NXP maintains two Linux distributions for running on the i.MX 8M Mini SOM starter kit - HoverGames-BSP and HoverGames-Demo. The BSP version of the distribution is based on NXP's Yocto BSP for i.MX 8M Mini, and provides full flexebility of Yocto. The HoverGames-BSP is great for using in production or dedicated embedded systems, which include only the software packages that are required for system functioning. On the other hand, the Hovergames-Demo distribution incorporates the Ubuntu APT package manger that allows a broad range of precompiled software to be installed on the i.MX 8M mini, and be used for experimenting and prototyping.

Please refer to the below page for instructions on how to build HoverGames-BSP or HoverGames-Demo images:
