Hello Alessandro,

Please start a new message thread so it is easy for people to use the
history to answer the same questions.

I've renamed the thread but next time start a new one.

You can use https://github.com/Freescale/fsl-community-bsp-platform
and I advice you to research for generic documentation about Yocto as
it is indeed the common base of it.

A good set of initial documentation can by found on Yocto website.

Do a good read on
http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.html

If you have any further questions please send a message here or Yocto
mailing lists.

That's a new one to me. What are the similarities/differences between that and meta-fsl-arm? Which one should we be using?

[Otavio Salvador]

This is an easy to use so it automates the checkouts and is an easy to use way.

You can use meta-fsl-arm as you've been using. No problem ...

repo just make it easy.

Hello Otavio, thanks for your precise answer.
Sorry for my late answer but I waited for a new workstation.

I'm in, I can build some images for imx28evk.
I found a broken link in gnutls package, see attachment.
I've never done a pull request to a big official repo.
How can I do it? Writing to the relative layer mailing list?

So I have some images. Now how can I manage these images?
Have I to look for my old patched scripts shipped with LTIB or does exist a new "Yocto" way?
Please just tell me the right documentation :-)

No problem.

Good.

This is indeed a issue however the right place for this patch is the
openembedded-core mailing list.

Correct: http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Commit_Patch_Message_Guidelines

If you have any problem in doing it, I can help. You can also send the
exported patch to me, first, before sending to mailing list so I can
review it for you before.

Sorry, I didn't understand your point.

As soon as I understand your need ;-)

I would like to boot my i.mx28 bsp.
Some month ago I used to do it with a shell script provided
by Freescale SDK  (Google does not let me attach it).
I'm asking by myself if in meta-fsl-arm is there a
software to flash the bootloader and/or the entire
system on the SD card.

Thank you in advance

It builds you a ready to use .sdcard file; just 'dd' it onto the sdcard.

Wonderful, I will try as soon as possible.
