likely issues building for NXP i.MX 8?
-
Hi all -
I'm developing an application that will run on an NXP I.MX 8 device, running Yocto Hardknott. I'm currently using Qt 6.5, and would greatly like to remain with Qt 6 for this.
This will be my first time working with this device, and this OS, so I'm not sure what to expect.
- does anyone know of a pre-existing toolchain for this architecture? The FAE said we'd have to build our own, which I find rather surprising.
- I remember reading some time back that with Qt 6, less "stuff" came bundled with the Qt package, and there was greater reliance on external libraries. Does there exist a list of what all is needed in order to build Qt?
- anything else someone wants to warn me about?
Thanks...

Hi,
If memory serves well, yocto builds the cross-compiler for your target so you should not really have to worry about that.
You might want do check this compatibility table between yocto and Qt 6.
