Please read the [http:XELK MVM is already configured to build this Yocto version//www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/mega-manual/mega-manual.html#getting-setup configuration, however, users typically don't use a VirtualBox VM for Yocto manual setup section] builds for a list of supported Linux distribution and their configurationperformance reasons.

==== Initialize the build environment ====

AXEL XELK Yocto BSP uses [https://code.google.com/p/git-repo/ git-repo] tool to fetch all the required git repositories to build

==== Build the Yocto BSP image ====

Please note that even the basic root file system requires a few hours to build on a mid-/hi range desktop (4-6 cores, 8-12 GiB RAM) also depending on your Internet connection speed (all sources are fetched from the network). Nearly 20GiB of disk space is required for the build. Moreover, building inside the DVDK adds some overhead, since the performances of a virtual machine are reduced if compared to the physical hardware. Thus, it's recommended to check the hardware capabilities of the host system and, when building with Yocto is required, developers should consider the following options:

dvdk@dvdk-vm:~/xelkaxel$ DISTRO=fsl-imx-x11 MACHINE=imx6qxelk source axel-bspsetup-init-envrelease.sh -b build-x11dvdk@dvdk-vm:~/xelkaxel/build$ bitbake baseaxel-rootfsimage-imagex11

==== Build additional packages ====

dvdk@dvdk-vm:~/xelkaxel$ DISTRO=fsl-imx-x11 MACHINE=imx6qxelk source axel-bspsetup-init-envrelease.sh -b build-x11dvdk@dvdk-vm:~/xelkaxel/build$

And then he can run any of the [[http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/mega-manual/mega-manual.html#usingpoky-components-bitbake bitbake]] commandcommands.

The resulting packages (the default format is ipk) can be found inside ''build/tmp/deploy/ipkrpm''.
