Build custom linux image for colibri-imx6 and viola board

Hello Toradex guys,

I want to generate a custom Linux image for a Colibri imx6DL with a viola plus board. I’m looking at the oe-core/build/core/local.conf file, and there are some values for the MACHINE variable. What value do I choose to construct the image for the viola board? Do I select “colibri-imx6”?

Welcome to the Toradex Community!

What value do I choose to construct the image for the viola board? Do I select “colibri-imx6”?

You will construct the image for a module (Colibri iMX6) and not the carrier board (Viola). Yeah, you are right, you choose colibri-imx6.
