Hi,

I was wondering what needs to be done to complete the Yocto build for 
the i.MX 8M Plus SoC on the Polyhex Debix Model A SBC and whether we can 
help with this?

I CCed Urs Fässler whom I work with and who has much more experience 
with Yocto than I do.

We plan to use the Polyhex Debix Model A SBC for WildCamera, a new open 
source wild camera:

https://github.com/William-Robert-Robertson/WildCamera

because of the very strong vision pipeline on the i.MX 8M Plus and NXP's 
support for open source,.

For reference, here are the instructions to generate a Linux image for 
Debix Model A using Buildroot:

https://github.com/buildroot/buildroot/blob/master/board/polyhex/debix-model-a/readme.txt

As far as I can tell, Polyhex seem to have kept the design of the Debix 
Model A failry close to NXP's reference design.

Thank you very much for your help,

Will
