Building the Linux image from source is complex and time consuming. A 3rd party has prepared a docker image which can be used and instructions to be followed in order to be successful in building from source without being an Expert. Please follow this guide in order to build the latest image from source, in a docker window.

NavQPlus Enablement

NavQPlus has specific enablement that is not typically found in generic EVK's from NXP. The Ubuntu POC , ROS2 and other software has been enabled in order to work with robotics development systems. Consider using the a pre-built binary or following the 3rd party reference on building from source using a Docker image.

Opensource Community

While our team may have used and tested this software, the enablement is under continual development and is expected to change regularly. Where this software is application level (I.e ROS2), and not hardware device level (i.e gstreamer) you should look for opensource ommunity support for that application and not directly from NXP

Guidance

Elsewhere in this "engineering notebook" GitBook you will find specific guidance on how some of this software may be used. Specific software used in these examples will be noted.

OS/Software

Example NavQPlus typical OS images may include the following. (note that this configuration changes regularly and may be updated/upgraded to newer versions.)

• NXP Yocto Linux 5.15 kernel

  • gstreamer

  • eIQ AI/ML tools

Yocto Linux

NXP i.MX 8M Plus Linux is a Yocto build plus Desktop image layer. Refer to the NXP GIT repo and NXP documentation when building from source.

Other NXP EVK software

NavQPlus is a derivative of the NXP EVK. Refer to the NXP website for the complete variety of software support for i.MX 8M Plus
