Linux host requirements:
Ubuntu 20.04 with the recommended amount of free space of 200 GB.Prepare the Linux host for the build:
$ sudo apt-get install gawk wget git-core diffstat unzip texinfo gcc-multilib \ build-essential chrpath socat cpio python python3 python3-pip python3-pexpect \ xz-utils debianutils iputils-ping libbz2-dev libz-dev python2.7 dfu-util libusb-1.0.0-dev $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash # Say "No" to not use "dash" as the default system shell. $ wget https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo $ chmod 755 repo $ sudo cp repo /usr/local/bin/
3. Clone build script:
$ git clone -b imx-5.15-32-vb https://github.com/voxelbotics/meta-vb-imx8mp.git
4. Checkout the release tag (e.g. 1.0.5-213)
$ cd meta-vb-imx8mp $ git checkout 1.0.5-213
5. Create directories for Yocto cache and downloads:
$ sudo mkdir -p /home/cache/CACHE/5.15.32/sstate-cache $ sudo mkdir -p /home/cache/CACHE/5.15.32/downloads $ sudo chmod 777 /home/cache/CACHE/5.15.32/sstate-cache /home/cache/CACHE/5.15.32/downloads
6. Run the build script and buildthe release images:
$ sh meta-vb-imx8mp/scripts/build5-15-32.sh -t 1.0.5-213 ...
7. The script will build from the 1.0.5-213 release tag in the source repositories https://github.com/voxelbotics/meta-vb-imx8mp , https://github.com/voxelbotics/linux-imx , https://github.com/voxelbotics/u-boot-imx.
8. After the build, the build artifacts will be located in the build-desktop/ directory:

If you want to build from the top-of-the trunk of the imx-5.15.32-vb development branches, run the script as below:
$ cd meta-vb-imx-8mp $ git checkout imx-5.15.32-vb $ cd .. $ sh meta-vb-imx8mp/scripts/build5-15-32.sh -b imx-5.15.32-vb ...
