  • Page 4: About This Document

    This Developer’s Guide explains how to re-create “developer image” which is based on Yocto Project Linux. The image is suited for the PAN9026-IMX system, which consists of a Wandboard Dual (WB-IMX6U-BW) and the PAN9026-MSD. This Developer’s Guide also describes the necessary steps to work with the resulting system and explains some background details of the implementation.
